AUTO ACTIVE TEST
Description
In auto active test mode, the IPDM
E/R sends a drive signal to the follo wing systems to check their operation.
• Front wiper (LO, HI)
• Front fog lamps
• Parking lamps
• Side marker lamps
• Tail lamps
• License plate lamps
• Daytime running lamps
• Headlamps (LO, HI)
• A/C compressor
• Cooling fans (LO, HI)
Operation Procedure
CAUTION:
Do not start the engine.
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield before hand.
NOTE:
• If auto active test mode cannot be actuat ed, check door switch system. Refer to DLK-100,
"Component Function Check".
• When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway through test, turn ignition switch OFF.
1. Close the hood and lift the wiper arms from the windshield. (Prevent windshield damage due to wiper
operation)
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, press the front door switch LH 10 times. Then turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Af ter that the horn sounds once, and the auto active test
starts.
5. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
Inspection in Auto Active Test Mode
When auto active test mode is actuated, the following operation sequence is repeated 3 times.
*: Outputs duty ratio of 50% for 5 seconds → duty ratio of 100% for 5 seconds on the cooling fan control module.

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.

CONSULT Function (IPDM E/R)INFOID:0000000009461602
CAUTION:
After disconnecting the CONSULT vehicle interface (VI) from the data link connector, the ignition must
be cycled OFF → ON (for at least 5 seconds) → OFF. If this step is not performed, the BCM may not go
to ”sleep mode”, potentiall y causing a discharged battery and a no-start condition.
