FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
Wiper Intermittent Dial Position Setting
Example: For wiper intermittent dial position 1
Using combination switch reading function, BCM detects ON/OFF status of INT VOLUME 1, 2, and 3.
When combination switch status is as listed below, BCM determines that it is wiper Intermittent dial position 1.
INT VOLUME 1: ON (Continuity exists between combination switch output 3 and input 1.)
INT VOLUME 2: ON (Continuity exists between combination switch output 5 and input 1.)
INT VOLUME 3: ON (Continuity exists between combination switch output 4 and input 2.)
BCM determines front wiper intermittent operation interval from wiper intermittent dial position 1 and vehicle
speed, and sends wiper request signal (INT) to IPDM E/R.
AUTO STOP OPERATION
With the front wiper switch turned OFF, front wiper motor will continue to operate until front wiper arms reach
windshield base.
When front wiper arms are not located at base of windshield with front wiper switch OFF, power is provided
from IPDM E/R terminal 21
to front wiper motor terminal 1, in order to continue front wiper motor operation at low speed.
When front wiper arms reach base of windshield, front wiper motor terminals 2 and 5 are connected, and
ground is supplied
to IPDM E/R terminal 32
through front wiper motor terminal 5
through front wiper motor terminal 2
through grounds E1 and E31.
Then the IPDM E/R sends front wiper auto stop signal (ON) to BCM through CAN communication.
When the BCM receives front wiper auto stop signal (ON), BCM sends front wiper request signal (OFF) to
IPDM E/R through CAN communication.
IPDM E/R stops front wiper motor. Front wiper motor will then stop front wiper arms at the STOP position.
WASHER OPERATION
When the front washer switch is ON position, front washer pump operates, and BCM detects the FR WASHER
(ON) by BCM combination switch reading function. Combination switch ground is supplied
to front washer pump terminal 2
through combination switch terminal 11
to combination switch terminal 12
through grounds M71 and M72.
When BCM detects the FR WASHER (ON) for 0.4 seconds or longer, BCM sends front wiper request signal
(LO) through CAN communication. IPDM E/R operates front wiper motor at low speed.
When BCM detects the front washer switch is OFF, low speed wiper operation cycles approximately 2 times
and stops.

MIST OPERATION
When the front wiper switch is turned to the MIST position, front wiper low speed operation cycles once and
then stops.
For additional information about front wiper operation under this condition. Refer to WW-5, "
LOW SPEED
WIPER OPERATION" .
If the switch is held in the MIST position, low speed operation continues.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
If an abnormality occurs in CAN communications, IPDM E/R holds the condition just before fail-safe status is
initiated until ignition switch is turned off. (If front wipers were operating in LO just before the initiation of fail-
safe status, they continue to operate in LO until ignition switch is turned OFF.)
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description
BCM reads combination switch (wiper switch) status, and controls front wipers according to the results.
BCM reads information of a maximum of 20 switches by combining 5 output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) and
5 input terminals (INPUT 1-5).
Operation Description
BCM activates transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) periodically and allows current to flow in turn.
If any (one or more) switches are turned ON, circuit of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) and input terminals
(INPUT 1-5) becomes active.
At this time, transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) are activated to allow current to flow. When volt-
age of input terminals (INPUT 1-5) corresponding to that switch changes, interface in BCM detects volt-
age change, and BCM determines that the switch is ON.

FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
BCM - Operation Table of Combination Switches
BCM reads operation status of combination switch using combinations shown in table below.
Sample Operation: (When Wiper Switch is Turned to LOW Position)
When wiper switch is turned to LOW position, FR WIPER LOW contact in combination switch turns ON. At
this time if OUTPUT 1 transistor is activated, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 3.
When BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 3 while OUTPUT 1 transistor is ON, it judges that front
wiper switch is in LOW position. Then BCM sends front wiper request signal (LO) to IPDM E/R through
CAN communication.
If BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 3 when OUTPUT 1 transistor is activated again, it recog-
nizes that wiper switch is still in LOW position.
NOTE:
Each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10 ms intervals. Therefore after switch is turned ON,
electrical loads are activated with time delay. But this time delay is so short that it cannot be detected by
human senses.

Front Wiper Does Not Return to Stop Position (After Front Wipers Operate for
10 Seconds, They Stop for 20 Seconds, and after repeating the operations five
times, they become inoperative)
BKS001TS
CAUTION:
When auto-stop signal has not varied for 10 seconds or longer while IPDM E/R is operating front
wipers, IPDM E/R considers that front wipers are locked, and stops front wiper output. That
causes this symptom.
This status can be checked by “DATA MONITOR” of “IPDM E/R” on which “WIP PROT” item shows
“BLOCK”.
1. CHECK BCM DATA MONITOR
With CONSULT-II
1. Select “BCM” on CONSULT-II, and select “WIPER” on “SELECT TEST ITEM” screen.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” on “SELECT DIAG MODE” screen.
Make sure that “FR WIPER STOP” turns ON-OFF according to
front wiper operation.

2. CHECK CIRCUIT BETWEEN IPDM E/R AND FRONT WIPER MOTOR
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect IPDM E/R connector and front wiper motor connector.
3. Check continuity between IPDM E/R harness connector (A) and
front wiper motor harness connector (B).
4. Check continuity between IPDM E/R harness connector (A) and
ground.
