2011 INFINITI QX56 ECU

PCS-22
< ECU DIAGNOSIS INFORMATION >[IPDM E/R]
IPDM E/R
IGNITION RELAY MALFUNCTION DETECTION FUNCTION
 IPDM E/R monitors the voltage at the contact circuit and
excitation coil circuit of the ignition relay inside it.
 IPDM E/R judges the ignition relay error if the volt age differs between the contact circuit and the excitation
coil circuit.
 If the ignition relay cannot turn OFF due to contact seiz ure, it activates the tail lamp relay for 10 minutes to
alert the user to the ignition relay malfunction when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
FRONT WIPER PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop positi on by a front wiper stop position signal.
When a front wiper stop position signal is in the conditi ons listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 seconds activation and 20 seconds stop.
NOTE:
This operation status can be confirmed on the IPDM E/ R “Data Monitor” that displays “BLOCK” for the item
“WIP PROT” while the wiper is stopped.
STARTER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R turns OFF the starter control relay to protect the starter motor when the starter control relay remains
active for 90 seconds.
DTC IndexINFOID:0000000006220174
NOTE:
 The details of time display are as follows.
- CRNT: A malfunction is detected now.
- PAST: A malfunction was detected in the past.
 IGN counter is displayed on FFD (Freeze Frame data).
- The number is 0 when is detected now.
- The number increases like 1 → 2 ··· 38 → 39 after returning to the normal condition whenever IGN OFF →
ON.
- The number is fixed to 39 until the self-diagnosis results are erased if it is over 39.

ment.
3. Check DTC. If DTC is displayed, erase it.
>> GO TO 9.
9.FINAL CHECK
When DTC was detected in step 2, perform DTC C onfirmation Procedure or Component Function Check
again, and then check that the malfunction is repaired securely.
