POWER CONSUMPTION CONTROL SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009461600
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.
- Front wiper fail-safe operation
- Outputting signals to actuators
- Switches or relays operating
- Auto active test is starting
- Emergency OFF
- 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.
IGNITION BATTERY SAVER LOGIC
If the ignition is ON for 30 minutes with the engine OFF, the IPDM E/R and BCM turn OFF to save the battery.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DI
STRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
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 voltage 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.
NOTE:
The tail lamp turns OFF when the ignition switch is turned ON.
FRONT WIPER CONTROL
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop posit ion by a front wiper auto stop signal.
When a front wiper auto stop signal is in the conditions listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 second activation and 20 second stop five times.
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:0000000009461605
NOTE:
The details of TIME display are as follows.
• CRNT: The malfunctions that are detected now
• 1 - 39: The number is indicated when it is normal at present and a malfunction was detected in the past. It
increases like 0 → 1 → 2 ··· 38 → 39 after returning to the normal condition whenever IGN OFF → ON. It is
fixed to 39 until the self-diagnosis results are erased if it is over 39. It returns to 0 when a malfunction is
detected again in the process.

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

MEMORY RESET PROCEDURE
1. Please observe the following instructi ons at confirming the moonroof operation.
NOTE:
Do not disconnect the electronic power while the moonroof is operating or within 5 seconds after the
moonroof stops. (to wipe-out the memory of lid position and operating friction.)
2. Initialization of system should be conducted after the following conditions. • When the moonroof motor is changed.
• When the moonroof does not operate normally. (Incomplete initialization conditions)
ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN REPLACING CONTROL UNIT : Special Repair Re-
quirement
INFOID:0000000009461302
INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
If the moonroof does not open or clos e automatically, use the following procedure to return moonroof opera-
tion to normal.
NOTE:
If the moonroof switch is released at any time duri ng step 4, the procedure must be started over again. Leave
the ignition switch ON for at least 2 seconds after this procedure.
1. Push the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Hold the moonroof switch in the tilt up position. Release the switch when the moonroof has reached the
full tilt up position.
3. Hold the moonroof switch in the tilt up position agai n. After a delay, the moonroof will backup. Release the
switch.
4. Within 4 seconds of releasing the switch in step 3, hold the moonroof switch in the tilt up position again.
The moonroof will move from the full tilt-up → slide-close → slide-open → slide-close → tilt-up → slide-
close. Release the switch, initialization is complete if the moonroof operates normally.
ANTI-PINCH FUNCTION
1. Fully open the moonroof to the full open position.
2. Place a piece of wood at the fully closed position.
3. Close the moonroof completely with auto-slide close function.
4. Moonroof should make contact and then tilt up in reverse for 100mm (3.94 in.) (approx.).
CAUTION:
• Do not test the anti-pinch functi on with your hands or other part of body parts because they may be
pinched.
• Depending on environment and drivin g conditions, if a similar impact or load is applied to the moon-
roof it may lower.
• Test the auto-slide operation before inspectio n when the system initialization is performed.
• Perform the initialization proced ure when the auto-slide operation or anti-pinch function does not
operate normally.
