IPDM E/R

IF NO CAN COMMUNICATION IS AVAILABLE WITH BCM

When CAN communication with ECM and BCM is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control. After CAN communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.

Control part Fail-safe operation
Front wiper motor
  • The status just before activation of fail-safe control is maintained until the ignition switch is turned OFF while the front wiper is operating at LO or HI speed.
  • The wiper is operated at LO speed until the ignition switch is turned OFF if the fail-safe control is activated while the front wiper is set in the INT mode and the front wiper motor is operating.
  • Returns automatically wiper to stop position when ignition switch is turned ON if fail-safe control is activated while front wiper motor is operated and wiper stop in the other position than stop position.
  • The status is held at service position if the fail-safe control is activated while the service position function is operating.

FRONT WIPER PROTECTION FUNCTION

IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop position by a front wiper stop position signal.

When a front wiper stop position signal is in the conditions listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper after repeating a front wiper 10 seconds activation and 20 seconds stop.

Ignition switch Front wiper switch Front wiper stop position signal
ON OFF The front wiper stop position signal (stop position) can not be input for 10 seconds.
ON The front wiper stop position signal does not change for 10 seconds.
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.
