1998 NISSAN PATROL IGN eC

System Description
WIPER OPERATION
The rear wiper switch is controlled by a ring built into the combination switch.
There are two wiper switch positions:
+ON (LO speed)
+INT (Intermittent)
With the ignition switch in the ON position, power is supplied
+through 10A fuse (No.
18, located in the fuse block)
+to rear wiper motor terminalj
4, and
+to rear wiper ampli®er terminalj
5.
Low speed wiper operation
Ground is supplied to rear wiper switch terminalj24through body grounds.
When the rear wiper is placed in the ON position, ground is supplied
+through rear wiper switch terminalj
22
+to rear wiper relay terminalj6.
Then ground is supplied
+to rear wiper motor terminalj
1
+through rear wiper ampli®er terminalsj2andj3.
With power and ground supplied, the wiper motor operates.
Auto stop operation
With the rear wiper switch turned OFF, rear wiper motor will continue to operate until wiper arm reaches rear
window base.
When wiper arm is not located at base of rear window with rear wiper switch OFF, ground is supplied
+to rear wiper motor terminalj
1
+through rear wiper ampli®er terminalsj2,j7and
+through rear wiper motor terminalj
3, in order to continue rear wiper motor operation at low speed.
Ground is also supplied
+to rear wiper motor terminalj
2
+through body grounds.
When wiper arm reaches base of rear window, rear wiper motor terminalsj
3andj4are connected instead
of terminalsj
2andj3. Rear wiper motor will then stop wiper arm at the PARK position.
Intermittent operation
The rear wiper motor operates the wiper arm one time at low speed at an interval of approximately 7 sec-
onds.
When the rear wiper switch is placed in the INT position, ground is supplied
+to rear wiper ampli®er terminalj
1
+through rear wiper switch terminalj21.
Then the rear wiper motor operates intermittently in the same manner as the low speed wiper operation.
WASHER OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
+through 10A fuse (No.
18, located in the fuse block)
+to rear washer motor terminalj
2.
When the ring is turned WASH position, ground is supplied
+to rear washer motor terminalj
1, and
+to rear wiper ampli®er terminalj
4
+through terminalj23of rear wiper switch.
With power and ground is supplied, the rear washer motor operates.
The rear wiper motor operates when the ring is turned to WASH position for one second or more and for
approximately 3 seconds after the ring is released. This feature is controlled by the rear wiper ampli®er in the
same manner as the low speed wiper operation.

HEADLAMP WIPER MOTOR CHECK
When wiper motor is locked, a protective circuit built into
wiper motor activates to stop wiper motor. If wiper motor will
not restart even after cause of problems has been eliminated,
turn ignition switch OFF and leave it off for approx. 1 to 3
minutes.
1. Turn headlamp wiper switch OFF.
2. Connect ohmmeter and check continuity.

System Description
+A heat line has been added to the lower portion of the wind-
shield.
+During cold weather, water can freeze between the wiper
blades and windshield. Turning the wiper deicer switch ON
melts the ice between the blades and windshield.
+During snowfall, packed snow can accumulate around the
windshield lower surface and surrounding areas. Turning the
wiper deicer switch ON melts the snow to allow the wiper
blades to more easily remove it.
+The wiper deicer operates only for approximately 15 minutes
while ignition switch is in ON position. The timer is combined
with wiper deicer switch.

Identify any of the following conditions:
+Discs with a large outside diameter. [Normal size is 120 mm (4.72 in).]
+Discs with rough or lipped edges.
+Discs with excessive thickness [Normal size is 1.2 mm (0.047 in).]
+Discs with scratches, abrasions, or pits on the surface.
+Discs with grease/oil, ®ngerprints, foreign material.
+Discs are warped due to excessive heat exposure.
3. Slide/place the discs in and out of the various magazine positions.
Identify any discs and/or positions that require additional force for placement/ejection. If interference
(sticking, excessive tensions) is found, replace the magazine or the discs.
Note:
+Discs which are marginally out of speci®cation (ex. dirty, scratched and so on) may play correctly
on a home stereo.
However, when used in the automotive environment skipping may occur due to the added vehicle
movement and/or vibration due to road conditions. Autochangers should not be replaced when
discs are at fault.
+Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the discs starting from the center outward in radial direction. Never
use chemical cleaning solutions to clean the discs.
