Relay control system : system description
Ipdm e/r activates the internal control circuit to perform the relay on-off control according to the input signals from various sensors and the request signals received from control units via can communication.
Caution:
To prevent damage to the parts, ipdm e/r integrated relays cannot be removed.
Power consumption control system
POWER CONSUMPTION CONTROL SYSTEM : System Diagram
POWER CONSUMPTION CONTROL SYSTEM : System Description
Outline
- Ipdm e/r incorporates a power consumption control function that reduces the power consumption according to the vehicle status.
- IPDM E/R changes its status (control mode) with the sleep wake up signal received from BCM via CAN communication.
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 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 communication.
- 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 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.
