MODULE-TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER
DESCRIPTION
The Totally Integrated Power Module (2)(TIPM) is a
combination unit that performs the functions of the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) and the Front Control
Module. The TIPM is a printed circuit board based
module that contains fuses, internal relays and a
microprocessor that performs the functions previously
executed by the FCM. The TIPM (2) is located in the
engine compartment, next to the battery (1) and connects
directly to the B+ cable (5) via a stud located on
top of the unit. The ground connection is via electrical
connectors. The TIPM provides the primary means of
voltage distribution and protection for the entire vehicle.
The molded plastic TIPM housing includes a base and
cover. The TIPM cover is easily opened or removed
for service and has a fuse and relay layout map integral
to the inside surface of the cover. The TIPM housing
base and cover are secured in place via mounting
tabs. The mounting tabs secure the TIPM (2) to the
battery tray mounting bracket (3).
OPERATION
All of the current from the battery and the generator output enters the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) via
a stud on the top of the module. The TIPM cover is removed to access the fuses or relays. Internal connections of
all of the power distribution center circuits is accomplished by a combination of bus bars and a printed circuit board.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring
diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector
pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
