4. FUNCTIONS OF RAIN SENSOR
1) Windshield Glass and Coupler Attachment
Check the outer windshield surface of sensing area for wear, damage and scratch. The sensor
is able to compensate the wear up to a specific level. Check the coupler attached surface of
windshield for porosity. If the porosity exists, the sensor cannot function properly.
2) Recognition of AUTO Mode
3) Instant Wipe Function
When the variable resistance knob on the multifunction wiper switch is turned by each 1 stage
from low sensitivity (Smark) to high sensitivity (F mark), the wiper operates one cycle.
And, the wiper also operates during raining up to 5 minutes after rain stops.When the engine is started with the wiper switch “AUTO” position, the wiper operates
one cycle to remind a driver that the wiper switch is in “AUTO” position.
When the wiper switch is turned to “AUTO” from OFF, the wiper operates one cycle. It
always operates one cycle for the initial operation, however, the wiper does not operate
afterwards to prevent the wiper blade wear if not raining when turning the wiper switch to
“AUTO” from “OFF”. However, the wiper operates up to 5 minutes after rain stops.
If this function does not occur, check No. 2 terminal on the rain sensor. If any defective
cannot be found, check the wiper relay (LOW) for defective. 1)
2)
3)If the installed wiper brushes are out of specification (size and length), the rain sensing
area cannot be fully wiped. In this case, the rain sensor’s sensitivity could be
decreased and the wipers are not properly operated -
As described, the STICS recognizes the wiper switch “AUTO” position. If there are not
any problem, go to diagnosis mode in STICS and check the terminal that receives signal
from wiper and communication lines between rain sensor unit and STICS. -

4) Washer Coupled Wiper Function
Check the washer coupled wiper operation by pressing the washer switch.
5) Irregular Operations (Abrupt Operations)
6) Self Diagnosis
Position the wiper switch to “AUTO” position and rotate the variable resistance knob from
“FAST” toward “SLOW” by one step.
At this moment, check if the wiper operates one cycle.
The wiper operates when the windshield glass is excessively worn or scratched, the windshield
glass is not cleared wiped due to using worn wiper blade or different wiper blade, or the rain
sensor is not improperly installed.Check the sensor for coming off.
Check the rain sensor cover installation.
Check that the customer is familiar to how to control the wiper sensitivity. -
-
-
If the wiper blade cannot wipe the glass uniformly and clearly, the irregular operations could be
occurred. And, the wiper blade should be replaced with new one with same specifications. Check that the customer can select the sensitivity by selecting the variable resistance value
(stage 1 to stage 5), that is, the wiper sensitivity control value. And, also check whether the
sensitivity is selected to the highest value of FAST (stage 5).
Check the wiper blade for wear. -
▶Poor sensing
▶Poor sensor
Rotate the variable resistance knob toward “SLOW” by 2 more steps. At this moment,
check if the wiper operates one cycle.
The wiper operates when the sensor is defective.

6. RAIN SENSOR RELATED CIRCUIT
The rain sensor has one connector with 4 pins and each pin has following function as shown in
the circuit diagram.
However, in this vehicle, the terminal No. 1 and No. 2 are for communications between STICS
and the rain sensor; the No. 1 terminal sends the detected value from the rain sensor to STICS
then the STICS drives wiper motor.
to the rain sensor to recognize whether it is actual rain or it is in rain sensing wiper operation
mode.
No.2 terminal sends the wiper and washer operation information such as
washer operation mode,
MIST mode, or
AUTO wiper position -

1. COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS OF PARKING AID
SYSTEM
The parking aid system emits the supersonic wave signals from the sensors on the rear bumper
with a specific interval and detects the reflected signals from obstacles while the gear selecto
r
lever is in “R” position.
The number of displaying bars is decreased and the alarm interval becomes faster as the
obstacle approaches. This supplementary system is to secure the safety distance for parking.

Detecting type: Super sonic wave
Detecting distance: 25 ~ 120 cm
(distance between sensor and obstacle)

Front monitor ICM box
Even in other modes, it is changed to the parking aid
screen when moving the gear selector lever into
“R” position.
When moving the gear selector lever into “R”
position
while watching DVD or VCD, the rearview appears on
the front monitor.
When moving the gear selector lever into “R”
position, the alarm buzzer in ICM box sounds (installed
at bottom of STICS).
Parking aid sensor(Rear bumper)
The three parking aid sensors send the distance data
between rear bumper and obstacle to PAS unit.
Rearview camera
The rearview camera sends the rearview to the monitor
by using wide angle lens.
PAS unit
It is a control unit for the parking aid system (PAS) and
transmits the signals from sensors to multimeter and
buzzer.(installed in tuner/amplifier bracket)
