WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHERM1549021500257
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80The following ECUs affect the functions and control
of the windshield wiper and washer.
Windshield wiper and washer control function
.
Intermittent control (vehicle speed-dependent
variable type)
ETACS-ECU uses the dial position of the variable intermittent
wiper control switch and the vehicle speed signal sent by the
combination meter to calculate the interval to be sent to the
front-ECU.
NOTE: The speed-sensitive wiper can be customized on vehi-
cles equipped with a multi center display (middle grade type).
Refer to P.54B-486.
The front-ECU determines the intermittent time T1 from the
input SWS data signal, and turns ON the windshield wiper drive
signal. When the wiper is at the STOP position, the windshield
wiper auto-stop signal goes OFF, then turns OFF the wind-
shield wiper drive signal. After the intermittent time T1 seconds
from when the windshield wiper drive signal turned ON, the
windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON again and the above
operation is repeated.
NOTE: If the intermittent time T1 is within 2 seconds, the wiper
is operated consecutively at LOW-speed by the front-ECU.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

Mist wiper control
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON posi-
tion, and the windshield mist wiper switch is turned
ON, the front-ECU turns ON the windshield wiper
drive signal. At the same time, the wiper speed
switching relay is turned ON (HIGH-SPEED). While
the windshield mist wiper switch is ON, the wind-
shield wiper will operate at high speed. Then, if the
windshield mist wiper switch is turned off, the wiper
operates at low speed until it stops at the predeter-
mined park position.When the windshield mist switch is turned on briefly,
the wiper operates once at low speed.
At the point the windshield mist switch is turned ON,
if the windshield wiper has been operating intermit-
tently, the same operations as the above will be per-
formed while the windshield mist wiper switch is ON.
After the windshield mist wiper switch goes OFF, the
intermittent operations will be set again T1 seconds
after the last windshield wiper auto-stop signal turn-
ing ON.
.
Low speed wiper and high speed wiper control
When the ignition switch is at the ACC or ON posi-
tion, and the windshield low speed wiper switch of
the column switch is turned ON, the front-ECU turns
ON the windshield wiper drive signal, turns OFF (LO)
the windshield wiper speed relay, and operates the windshield wiper at low speed. Next, when the wind-
shield high speed wiper switch is turned ON, the
windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON, the wind-
shield wiper speed switching relay is turned ON (HI),
and the windshield wiper is operated at high speed.
.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-225
Washer control
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON posi-
tion, and the windshield washer switch is turned ON,
the front-ECU turns ON the windshield washer relay.
The windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON after
0.15 seconds until 2 seconds after the windshield washer switch goes OFF to operate the windshield
wiper continuously. When the windshield washer
switch is turned ON, if the windshield wiper is operat-
ing intermittently, intermittent operations will be con-
tinued after continuous operations.
NOTE: The wiper drive signal output time varies
according to the conditions. Refer to the following
table for details.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-226
INSPECTION PROCEDURE G-1: Windshield Wiper and Washer: The windshield wiper do not work at
all.
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires use
of Diagnostic Tool MB991958 and SWS monitor kit
MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS mon-
itor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The windshield wiper and washer switch sends a
signal through the column-ECU (incorporated in
the column switch) to the front-ECU. If the col-
umn-ECU sends a windshield wiper and washer
switch "ON" signal to the front-ECU, the
front-ECU turns on the relay (incorporated in the
front-ECU), thus causing the windshield wiper
and washer motor to be turned on.
If the SWS communication line is defective, the
front-ECU operates windshield wiper motor by
using the other communication lines (wiper
backup circuit) instead of that line. In this case,
the windshield wiper works at low speed regard-
less of the windshield wiper and washer switch
positions ("LO" or "HIGH").
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the windshield wiper does not work at all, the wind-
shield wiper motor, column switch (windshield wiper
and washer switch) or the front-ECU may be defec-
tive.
