The STICS in this vehicle has similar functions with the one used in the new Rexton. Additional
function of diagnosing through SCAN-Tool has been added into new STICS.
The major difference in hardware-wise is that STICS receives vehicle collision signal from G-
sensor in the airbag module to activate automatic door unlock function when the vehicle
collided over 15 km/h of vehicle speed.
1. COMPONENTS LOCATOR
STICS / ICM module
Air bag ECU
Sends the vehicle collision
signals to STICS.
Theft deterrent horn
Installed under the battery. This
horn works only for the theft
deterrent function, panic
function, and remote starting.
SCAN-tool
SCAN-100 is used fo
r
REKES key coding and
trouble diagnosis.

3. FUNCTIONS OF RK STICS
1) Wiper Control
(1) Wiper MIST and Washer Coupled Wiper
The wiper relay is turned on 0.3 seconds (T1) after turning “ON” the washer switch for
0.2 ~ 0.59 seconds (T2) with the ignition key “ON”, and it is turned off when the
parking terminal is turned off. 1.
The wiper relay is turned on 0.3 seconds (T1) after turning “ON” the washer switch
over 0.6 seconds (T2) with the ignition key “ON”, and it is turned on three times
immediately after turning off the washer switch. 2.

If the washer operating signal is inputted while the wipers are operating in intermittent or
AUTO mode, the system stores the previous intermittent interval and operates the washe
r
coupled wiper. After then, the wiper operation returns back to intermittent or AUTO mode
with the stored operating interval. 3.

(2) Rain Sensor Coupled Wiper
If equipped with RE-STICS rain sensor, has following operation system.
System layout ▶
This vehicle has a different wiper control logic compared to other models. As shown in the
system diagram, the rain sensor unit does not control wiper directly. The rain sensor unit sends
infrared rays signal through LED and then receives it with photo diode and then sends the
returned signal to STICS and the STICS controls the wipers directly.
For more details, refer to rain sensing wiper section in this manual.

Rain sensing operation point ▶
The wiper relay is turned on and the wiper motor runs one cycle when the ignition key is
turned to “ON” position (while the wiper switch is in “AUTO” position).
The wiper relay (LO) is turned on and the wiper motor runs one cycle when changing the
wiper switch to “AUTO” position from any other positions (while the ignition key is in
“ON” position). When the wiper switch is turned to “AUTO” position again from other
positions, the system drives the wiper relay (LO) to run the wiper motor one cycle only when
the rain sensor detects the “Rain Detected” signal. 1)
2)
Rain sensing sensitivity control ▶
The wiper relay is turned on and the wiper motor runs one cycle when the volume sensitivity is
increased (ex: from 0 to 1) (while the ignition key is in “ON” position, the wiper switch is
in “AUTO” position, and the wiper motor is in “Parked” position). However, the wiper
motor can be operated only when the rain sensor detects the “Rain Detected” signal.
* If the volume sensitivity is changed more than 2 stages within 2 seconds, the wiper motor runs
only one cycle.
