FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEMPFP:28810
Components Parts and Harness Connector LocationNKS003WB
System DescriptionNKS003WC
Front wiper relays (HIGH, LOW) are included in IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine
room).
Front wiper reverse relay is included in relay box-1. Refer to PG-98, "ELECTRICAL UNITS LOCATION" .
Wiper switch (combination switch) is composed of a combination of 5 output terminals and 5 input termi-
nals. Terminal combination status is read by BCM (body control module) when switch is turned ON.
BCM controls front wiper LO, HI, and INT (intermittent) operation.
IPDM E/R operates wiper motor according to CAN communication signals from BCM.
Front wiper motor switches LOW speed to/from HIGH speed by BCM function to change polarity.
OUTLINE
Power is supplied at all times
to ignition relay, located in IPDM E/R, from battery directly,
through 50 A fusible link (letter F, located in fuse and fusible link block)
to BCM terminal 55,
through 10 A fuse [No. 21, located in fuse block (J/B)]
to BCM terminal 42,
through 30 A fuse (No. 73, located in IPDM E/R)
to front wiper low relay, located in IPDM E/R
to front wiper reverse relay terminal 5,
through 15 A fuse (No. 78, located in IPDM E/R)

COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description
BCM reads combination switch (wiper) status, and controls front wipers 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 allows current to flow in turn.
If any (one 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 the 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 to LO Position)
When wiper switch is turned to LO position, front wiper LO contact in combination switch turns ON. At this
time if OUTPUT 1 transistor is activated, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 3.
When BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 3 while OUTPUT 1 transistor is ON, it judges that front
wiper switch is in LO position. Then BCM sends front wiper request signal (LO) to IPDM E/R using CAN
communication.
If BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 3 when OUTPUT 1 transistor is activated again, it recog-
nizes that wiper switch is still in LO position.
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.
