Diagnosis system (IPDM E/R)
Diagnosis description
Auto active test
Description
- In auto active test, the ipdm e/r sends a drive signal to the following systems to check their operation.
- Front wiper (LO, HI)
- Parking lamp
- License plate lamp
- Tail lamp
- Front fog lamp (if equipped)
- Headlamp (LO, HI)
- A/C compressor (magnet clutch) (if equipped)
- Cooling fan
Operation Procedure
NOTE:
Never perform auto active test in the following conditions.
- Passenger door is open
- CONSULT is connected
- 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.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Turn the ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, press the driver door switch 10 times. Then turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. After that the horn sounds once and the auto active test starts.
- 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 DLK-255, "Component Inspection".
Inspection in Auto Active Test
When auto active test is actuated, the following operation sequence is repeated 3 times.
Concept of Auto Active Test
- IPDM E/R starts the auto active test with the door switch signals
transmitted by BCM via CAN communication.
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.

Parking lamp circuit
Description
The ipdm e/r (intelligent power distribution module engine room) controls the
tail lamp relay based on inputs
from the bcm over the can communication lines. When the tail lamp relay is
energized, power flows through
fuse 36, located in the ipdm e/r. Power then flows to the front ...
