FRONT WIPER INTERMITTENT OPERATION SWITCH POSITION CANNOT BE ADJUSTED
1. COMBINATION SWITCH TO BCM INSPECTION
Select "BCM" on CONSULT-II. With "WIPER" data monitor, check
that "INT VOLUME" changes in order from 1 to 7 according to opera-
tion of the intermittent switch dial position.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace BCM. Refer to BCS-20, "BCM" .
NG >> Replace wiper switch. Refer to WW-30, "
Wiper and
Washer Switch" .
WIPERS DO NOT WIPE WHEN FRONT WASHER OPERATES
1. COMBINATION SWITCH TO BCM INSPECTION
Select "BCM" on CONSULT-II. With "WIPER" data monitor, check
that "FR WASHER SW" turns ON-OFF according to operation of
front washer switch.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace BCM. Refer to BCS-20, "BCM" .
NG >> Replace wiper switch. Refer to WW-30, "
Wiper and
Washer Switch" .
FRONT WIPERS OPERATE FOR 10 SECONDS, STOP FOR 20 SECONDS, AND AFTER
REPEATING THIS OPERATION FIVE TIMES, THEY BECOME INOPERATIVE
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 front wipers locked and stops wiper output, which causes this symp-
tom.
This status can be checked by using IPDM E/R "DATA MONITOR". Under this condition, "WIP
PROT" reads "BLOCK".
1. CHECK IPDM E/R TO FRONT WIPER MOTOR
With CONSULT-II
Select "IPDM E/R" with CONSULT-II. With data monitor, confirm that
"WIP AUTO STOP" changes from "ACT P" to "STOP P" according to
wiper operation.
Without CONSULT-II
GO TO 2.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to PG-30, "Removal and
Installation of IPDM E/R" .
NG >> GO TO 2.

REAR WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM

REAR WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEMPFP:28710
Components Parts and Harness Connector LocationEKS00BEB
System DescriptionEKS00BEC
The wiper switch (combination switch) is composed of a combination of 5 output terminals and 5 input ter-
minals. Terminal combination status is read by the BCM (body control module) when switch is turned ON.
The BCM controls rear wiper ON and INT (intermittent) operation.
Power is supplied at all times
through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in fusible link box)
to BCM terminal 70.
With the ignition switch in ON or START position, power is supplied
through 10A fuse [No. 9, located in fuse block (J/B)]
to combination switch terminal 14, and
through 10A fuse (No. 59, located in the fuse and relay box)
to BCM terminal 38.
Ground is supplied
to BCM terminal 67 and
to combination switch terminal 12
through grounds M57, M61 and M79.

REAR WIPER OPERATION
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, and the rear wiper switch is in the ON position, the
BCM detects a rear wiper ON request through the combination switch (wiper switch) reading function.
The BCM will first check the status of the glass hatch ajar switch before supplying power to the rear wiper
motor. If the glass hatch ajar switch is closed (ground) the BCM will not turn on the rear wiper motor. If the
glass hatch ajar switch is open (not grounded) the BCM will control the rear wiper motor as follows.
The BCM controls rear wiper motor operation by switching direction of current flow between the two rear wiper
motor output circuits.
Power is supplied to output circuit 1 for forward operation (counterclockwise sweep),
through BCM terminal 55
to rear wiper motor terminal 4.
Ground is supplied
to rear wiper motor terminal 6
through BCM terminal 54
through BCM terminal 67
through grounds M57, M61 and M79.
With output circuit 1 power and ground supplied, the rear wiper motor operates in a counterclockwise sweep
direction until auto stop switch 1 closes (full sweep position). Auto stop switch 1 supplies ground
to BCM terminal 44
through rear wiper motor terminal 2
through rear wiper motor terminal 5
through grounds B117 and B132.
When the BCM receives this ground signal it turns off output circuit 1 and turns on output circuit 2.
Power is supplied to output circuit 2 for reverse operation (clockwise sweep),
through BCM terminal 54
to rear wiper motor terminal 6.
Ground is supplied
to rear wiper motor terminal 4
through BCM terminal 55
through BCM terminal 67
through grounds M57, M61 and M79.
With output circuit 2 power and ground supplied the rear wiper motor operates in a clockwise sweep direction
until auto stop switch 2 closes (full sweep position). Auto stop switch 2 supplies ground
to BCM terminal 26
through rear wiper motor terminal 1
through rear wiper motor terminal 3
through grounds B117 and B132.
When the BCM receives this ground signal it turns off output circuit 2 and turns on output circuit 1. This pro-
cess repeats until the rear wiper switch or ignition switch is turned off.
If the ignition switch is turned to OFF during operation, the rear wiper motor will immediately stop. If the igni-
tion switch is turned ON after this condition, and the BCM does not receive a rear wiper switch ON or INT sig-
nal, the BCM will operate the rear wiper to the auto stop position.
If the BCM does not receive a change in status in either auto stop switch 1 or auto stop switch 2 within a 5 sec-
ond period of output circuit 1 or output circuit 2 operation, the BCM will turn off output circuit 1 and output cir-
cuit 2.
If the BCM detects the rear door glass ajar signal during rear wiper motor operation, the BCM will operate the
rear wiper motor to the auto stop position. Once the rear door glass ajar signal returns to open (not grounded)
for 5 or more seconds, the BCM will resume rear wiper motor operation.
INTERMITTENT OPERATION
The rear wiper motor operates the wiper arm at low speed approximately every 7 seconds.
When the wiper switch is in the rear wiper INT position, the BCM detects a rear wiper INT request through the
combination switch (wiper switch) reading function.
