through 10 A fuse [No. 84, located in IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)]

through IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) terminal 44

to front washer motor terminal 1.
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminals 49 and 52

through grounds M35, M45 and M85

to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 60

through grounds E21, E50 and E51

to combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 12

through grounds M35, M45 and M85.
LOW SPEED WIPER OPERATION
When wiper switch is in LO position, BCM detects low speed wiper ON signal by BCM wiper switch reading
function.
BCM sends front wiper request signal (LO) with CAN communication line

from BCM terminals 39 and 40

to IPDM E/R terminals 48 and 49.
When IPDM E/R receives front wiper request signal (LO), it turns ON front wiper relay (located in IPDM E/R),
power is supplied

to front wiper motor terminal 1

through IPDM E/R terminal 21 and front wiper relay and front wiper HI relay.
Ground is supplied

to front wiper motor terminal 2

through grounds E21, E50 and E51.
With power and ground supplied, the front wiper motor operates at low speed.
HI SPEED WIPER OPERATION
When wiper switch is in HI position, BCM detects high speed wiper ON signal by BCM wiper switch reading
function.
BCM sends front wiper request signal (HI) with CAN communication line

from BCM terminals 39 and 40

to IPDM E/R terminals 48 and 49.
When IPDM E/R receives front wiper request signal (HI), it turns ON front wiper relay (located in IPDM E/R),
power is supplied

to front wiper motor terminal 4

through IPDM E/R terminal 31 and front wiper relay and front wiper HI relay.
Ground is supplied

to front wiper motor terminal 2

through grounds E21, E50 and E51.
With power and ground supplied, the front wiper motor operates at high speed.
INTERMITTENT OPERATION
Wiper intermittent operation delay interval is determined from a combination of 3 switches (intermittent opera-
tion dial position 1, intermittent operation dial position 2, and intermittent operation dial position 3) and vehicle
speed signal.
During each intermittent operation delay interval, BCM sends front wiper request signal to IPDM E/R.

Wiper Dial Position Setting
Example: For wiper dial position 1...
Using combination switch reading function, BCM detects ON/OFF status of intermittent operation dial posi-
tions 1, 2, and 3.
When combination switch status is as listed below, BCM determines that it is wiper dial position 1.

Intermittent operation dial position 1: ON (Combination switch output 3 and input 1 are performing.)

Intermittent operation dial position 2: ON (Combination switch output 5 and input 1 are performing.)

Intermittent operation dial position 3: ON (Combination switch output 4 and output 2 are performing.)
BCM determines front wiper intermittent operation delay interval from wiper dial position 1 and vehicle speed,
and sends wiper request signal (INT) to IPDM E/R.
AUTO STOP OPERATION
With wiper switch turned OFF, wiper motor will continue to operate until wiper arms reach windshield base.
When wiper arms are not located at base of windshield with wiper switch OFF, ground is provided

from IPDM E/R terminal 21

to front wiper motor terminal 1, in order to continue wiper motor operation at low speed.
When wiper arms reach base of windshield, front wiper motor terminals 5 and 2 are connected,
and Ground is supplied

to IPDM E/R terminal 32

through front wiper motor terminals 5 and 2

through grounds E21, E50 and E51.
Then the IPDM E/R sends auto stop operation signal to BCM with CAN communication line.
When BCM receives auto-stop operation signal, BCM sends wiper stop signal to IPDM E/R with CAN commu-
nication line.
IPDM E/R stops wiper motor. Wiper motor will then stop wiper arms at the STOP position.
WASHER OPERATION
When wiper switch is in front wiper washer position with ignition switch on, BCM detects front wiper switch is
on the washer position by BCM wiper switch reading function (Refer to BCS-3, "
COMBINATION SWITCH
READING FUNCTION" ), combination switch (wiper switch) ground is supplied

to front washer motor terminal 2

through combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 11

to combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 12

through grounds M35, M45 and M85.
With ground supplied, front washer motor is operated.
When BCM detects that front washer motor has operated for 0.4 seconds or linger, BCM operates front wiper
motor for low speed.
When BCM detects washer switch is OFF, low speed operation cycles approximately 3 times and stops.
MIST OPERATION
When the wiper switch is turned to the MIST position, wiper low speed operation cycles once and then stops.
For additional information about 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
IPDM E/R includes a fail-safe function to prevent malfunction of electrical components controlled by CAN com-
munications in CAN communications occurs.
When fail-safe status is initiated, IPDM E/R remains in steady unit signals are received.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description

BCM reads combination switch (wiper) status, and controls related systems such as head lamps and wip-
ers, according to the results.

BCM reads information of a maximum of 20 switches by combining five output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5)
and five input terminals (INPUT 1-5).
Operation Description

BCM activates transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) periodically and, and allows current to flow in
turn.

If any (1 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 switch is ON.

BCM - Operation Table of Combination Switches

BCM reads operation status of combination switch using combinations shown in table below.
Sample Operation: (When Wiper Switch Turned ON)

When wiper switch is turned ON, contact in combination switch turns ON. At this time if OUTPUT 1 tran-
sistor is activated, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 3.

When OUTPUT 1 transistor is ON, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 3, and judges that front
wiper low is ON. Then BCM sends front wiper request signal (LO) to IPDM E/R using CAN communica-
tion.

When OUTPUT 1 transistor is activated again, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 3, and recog-
nizes that wiper switch is continuously ON.

Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
NOTE:
Each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10 ms intervals. Therefore after switch is turned ON, electri-
cal loads are activated with time delay. But this time delay is so short that it cannot be detected by human
senses.
Operation Mode
Combination switch reading function has operation modes shown below.
1. Normal status
–When BCM is not in sleep status, OUTPUT terminals (1-5) each turn ON-OFF every 10 ms.
2. Sleep status
–When BCM is in sleep status, transistors of OUTPUT (1 and 5) stop the output, and BCM enters low cur-
rent consumption mode. OUTPUT (2, 3, and 4) turn ON-OFF every 10 ms, and only input from light switch
system is accepted.
CAN Communication System DescriptionAKS0056Q
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-board multi-
plex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitAKS0080E
Refer to LAN-6, "CAN Communication Unit" .
