Integrated Power Module: Operation
All of the current from the battery and the generator output enters the Integrated Power Module (IPM) via a four pin connector on the bottom of the module. The IPM cover is unlatched and opened or removed to access the fuses or relays. Internal connections of all of the power distribution center circuits is accomplished by combination of bus bars and a printed circuit board. Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete IPM circuit schematics.
