1997 MERCEDES-BENZ ML430 windshield wipers

SAFETY SHUTOFF (WSA) - FUNCTION - GF82.30-P-3005GH
MODEL 163 Applicable as of 1.9.00
Safety shutoff
The intermittent wipe function is interrupted when the vehicle comes to a complete stop and at least one of
the front doors is open. Any wipe cycle in progress is completed before wipers come to a halt.
Wiping resumes when both front doors are closed and/or the vehicle is put into motion.
The safety shutoff therefore only operates when the vehicle is at a complete stop. This ensures that the
intermittent wiping feature remains available during driving even if a door jamb switch is defective.
ANTI-LOCK PROTECTION FOR WIPER MOTOR, FUNCTION - GF82.30-P-4008GH
MODEL 163
The all-activity module(AAM) (N10) recognizes that the wiper motor (M6/1) is locked up because of the
absence of signals from the cam switch.
If signals are not recognized for longer than 1 s the front wiper motor relay (F1k17) is no longer actuated.

The anti-lock protection is only effective in the function interval wiping . In other wiper stages the AAM does
not have influence on the wiper motor.
