The Integrated Power Module (IPM) is a combination of the Power Distribution Center (PDC) (1) and the Front Control Module (FCM) (2). The IPM is
located in the engine compartment, next to the battery. The power distribution center mates directly with the (FCM) to form the IPM. The (PDC) is a
printed circuit board based module that contains fuses and relays, while the FCM contains the electronics controlling the IPM and other functions. The
IPM connects directly to the battery positive via a stud located on top of the unit. The ground connection is via electrical connectors. The IPM provides
the primary means of voltage distribution and protection for the entire vehicle.

OPERATION
All of the current from the battery and the generator output enters the integrated power module via a stud on the top of the module. Internal connections
