[IPDM E/R (WITHOUT I-KEY)]

SYSTEM

IPDM E/R outputs power generation command signal (PWM signal) to the alternator according to the status of
the power generation command value signal received from ECM via CAN communication. Refer to

CHG-8,

"POWER GENERATION VOLTAGE VARIABLE CONTROL SYSTEM : System Diagram"

.

IPDM E/R reads the status of the oil pressure switch and transmits the oil pressure switch signal to BCM via
CAN communication. Refer to

MWI-10, "OIL PRESSURE WARNING LAMP : System Diagram"

.

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.

• IPDM E/R judges that the sleep-ready conditions are fulfilled 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 following 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.

Diagnosis Description

INFOID:0000000005914147

AUTO ACTIVE TEST

Description

In auto active test, the IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the following systems to check their operation.
• Oil pressure warning lamp
• Front wiper (LO, HI)
• Parking lamps
• License plate lamps
• Tail lamps
• Headlamps (LO, HI)
• A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
• Cooling fan

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, press 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. After that the horn sounds once and the auto active test
starts.

CAUTION:

Engine starts when ignition 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 switch may be the cause. Check door switch. Refer to

XX-XX,

"*****"

.

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.
