OUTLINE
IPDM E/R incorporates a power consumption control function that reduces the power consumption accord-
ing to the vehicle status.
IPDM E/R changes its status (control mode) with the sleep wake up signal received from BCM via CAN com- munication.
Normal mode (wake-up)- CAN communication is normally performed with other control units.
- Individual unit control by IPDM E/R is normally performed.
Low power consumption mode (sleep)- Low power consumption control is active.
- CAN transmission is stopped.
SLEEP MODE ACTIVATION
IPDM E/R judges that the sleep-ready conditions are fu lfilled when the ignition switch is OFF and none of the
conditions below are present. Then it transmits a sleep-ready signal (ready) to BCM via CAN communica-
tion.
- Outputting signals to actuators
- Switches or relays operating
- Output requests are being received from control units via CAN communication.
IPDM E/R stops CAN communication and enters the low power consumption mode when it receives a sleep
wake up signal (sleep) from BCM and the sleep-ready conditions are fulfilled.
WAKE-UP OPERATION
IPDM E/R changes from the low power consumption mode to the normal mode when it receives a sleep
wake-up signal (wake up) from BCM or any of the followi ng conditions is fulfilled. In addition, it transmits a
sleep-ready signal (not-ready) to BCM via CAN communication to report the CAN communication start.
- Ignition switch ON
- An output request is received from a control unit via CAN communication.

AUTO ACTIVE TEST
Description
In auto active test, the IPDM E/R sends a drive si
gnal to the following systems to check their operation.
Oil pressure warning lamp
Rear window defogger
Front wiper (LO, HI)
Parking lamp
License plate lamp
Tail lamp
Side marker lamp
Front fog lamp
Headlamp (LO, HI)
A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
Operation Procedure
CAUTION:
Never perform auto active test in the following conditions.
Engine is running.
CONSULT-III is connected.
1. Close the hood and lift the wiper arms from the windshield. (Prevent windshield damage due to wiper
operation)
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield beforehand.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, pr ess the driver door switch 10 times. Then turn the
ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
Close passenger door.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Af ter that the horn sounds once and the auto active test
starts.
CAUTION:
Engine starts when igniti on switch is turned ON while brake pedal is depressed.
5. The oil pressure warning lamp starts blinking when the auto active test starts.
6. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
When auto active test has to be cancelled halfway through test, turn the ignition switch OFF.
When auto active test is not activated, door swit ch may be the cause. Check door switch. Refer to DLK-117,
"ComponentFunctionCheck".
Inspection in Auto Active Test
When auto active test is actuated, the following operation sequence is repeated 3 times.
Operation
sequence Inspection location Operation
1 Oil pressure warning lamp Blinks continuously during operation of auto active test

Concept of auto active test
IPDM E/R starts the auto active test with the door
switch signals transmitted by BCM via CAN communica-
tion. Therefore, the CAN communication line between IPDM E/R and BCM is considered normal if the auto
active test starts successfully.
The auto active test facilitates troubleshooting if any systems controlled by IPDM E/R cannot be operated.
