Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: Power generation voltage variable control system
System Diagram
System Description
Power generation variable voltage control system has been adopted. By varying the voltage to the generator, engine load due to power generation of the generator is reduced and fuel consumption is decreased.
NOTE: When any malfunction is detected in the power generation variable voltage control system, power generation is performed according to the characteristic of the IC regulator in the generator.

Component part |
Description |
| Battery current sensor | The battery current sensor is installed on the battery cable at the negative terminal. The battery current sensor detects the charging/ discharging current of the battery and sends a voltage signal to the ECM according to the current value detected. |
| ECM | The battery current sensor detects the charging/discharging current
of the battery. The ECM judges the battery condition based on
this signal.
The ECM judges whether to request more output via the power generation voltage variable control according to the battery condition. When performing the power generation voltage variable control, the ECM calculates the target power generation voltage according to the battery condition and sends the calculated value as the power generation command value to the IPDM E/R. |
| IPDM E/R | The IPDM E/R converts the received power generation command value into a pulse width modulated (PWM) command signal and sends it to the IC regulator |
| Generator (IC regulator) | The IC regulator controls the power generation voltage by the target
power generation voltage based on the received PWM command
signal.
When there is no PWM command signal, the generator performs the normal power generation according to the characteristic of the IC regulator. |

Other materials:
Drive mode selector
Drive mode selector switches
Two driving modes can be selected by using the
drive mode selector switches, NORMAL and
SPORT.
NOTE:
When the drive mode select switch selects a
mode, the mode may not switch quickly. This
is not a malfunction.
Select the NORMAL mode for normal driving. ...
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 communicati ...

Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK CONNECTOR
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
Check the terminals and connectors of the data link connector for
damage, bend and loose connection
(connector side and harness side).
2.CHECK HARNESS FOR OP ...
