COMMON ITEM
COMMON ITEM : CONSULT Function (BCM - COMMON ITEM)INFOID:0000000009944151
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”, potentially causing a di scharged battery and a no-start condition.
APPLICATION ITEM
CONSULT performs the following functions via CAN communication with BCM.
SYSTEM APPLICATION
BCM can perform the following functions.
Direct Diagnostic Mode Description
Ecu Identification The BCM part number is displayed.
Self Diagnostic Result The BCM self diagnostic results are displayed.
Data Monitor The BCM input/output data is displayed in real time.
Active Test The BCM activates outputs to test components.
Work support The settings for BCM functions can be changed.
Configuration • The vehicle specification can be read and saved.
• The vehicle specification can be written when replacing BCM.
CAN Diag Support Mntr The result of transmit/receive diagnosis of CAN communication is displayed.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (IPDM E/R)
Diagnosis DescriptionINFOID:0000000009944155
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.
Operation se-
quence Inspection Location Operation
1 Front wiper LO for 3 seconds → HI for 3 seconds
2 •Front fog lamps
• Parking lamps
• Side marker lamps
•Tail lamps
• License plate lamps 10 seconds
3 Daytime running lamps 10 seconds
4 Headlamps LO ⇔ HI 5 times
5 A/C compressor ON ⇔ OFF 5 times

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.
