Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationINFOID:0000000003533551
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003533552
• Both front wiper relays are located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room).
• The wiper switch (combination switch) is composed of a combination of 5 output terminals and 5 input termi-
nals. Terminal combination status is read by the BCM when the wiper switch is turned ON.
• BCM controls front wiper LO, HI, and INT (intermittent) operation.
• IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) operates the wiper motor according to CAN
communication signals from the BCM.
Power is supplied at all times
• through 50A fusible link (letter f, located in the fuse and fusible link box)
• to BCM terminal 70, and
• through 30A fuse (No. 39, located in the IPDM E/R)
• to front wiper relay (located in the IPDM E/R).
With the ignition switch in ON or START position, power is supplied
• through 10A fuse (No. 9, located in the 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, and
• to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 59 and
• to front wiper motor terminal 1
• through grounds E9, E15, and E24.

FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
LOW SPEED WIPER OPERATION
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, and the front wiper switch is turned to the low posi-
tion, the BCM detects a low speed wiper ON request through the combination switch (wiper switch) reading
function. The BCM then sends a front wiper (low) request signal over CAN communication lines
• from BCM terminals 39 and 40
• to IPDM E/R terminals 39 and 40.
When IPDM E/R receives front wiper (low) request signal, it supplies ground to energize the front wiper relay.
With the front wiper relay energized, power is supplied
• through front wiper relay
• to front wiper high relay
• through IPDM E/R terminal 32
• to front wiper motor terminal 3.
With power and ground supplied, the front wiper motor operates at low speed.
HI SPEED WIPER OPERATION
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, and the front wiper switch is turned to the high posi-
tion, the BCM detects a high speed wiper ON request through the combination switch (wiper switch) reading
function. The BCM then sends a front wiper (high) request signal over CAN communication lines
• from BCM terminals 39 and 40
• to IPDM E/R terminals 39 and 40.
When the IPDM E/R receives a front wiper (high) request signal, it supplies ground to energize the front wiper
and the front wiper high relays.
With the front wiper and the front wiper high relays energized, power is supplied
• through front wiper relay
• to front wiper high relay
• through IPDM E/R terminal 35
• to front wiper motor terminal 2.
With power and ground supplied, the front wiper motor operates at high speed.
INTERMITTENT OPERATION
Wiper intermittent operation delay interval is determined from the combination of the intermittent wiper dial
position inputs and vehicle speed. During each intermittent operation delay interval, the BCM sends a front
wiper request signal to the IPDM E/R to operate the wipers.
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, and the front wiper switch is turned to an intermittent
position, the BCM detects a front wiper (intermittent) ON request through the combination switch (wiper
switch) reading function.
The BCM then sends a front wiper (intermittent) request signal over CAN communication lines
• from BCM terminals 39 and 40
• to IPDM E/R terminals 39 and 40.
When the BCM determines that combination switch status is front wiper intermittent ON, it performs the follow-
ing operations.
• BCM detects ON/OFF status of intermittent wiper dial position.
• BCM calculates operation interval from wiper dial position and vehicle speed signal received through CAN
communications.
• BCM sends front wiper request signal (INT) to IPDM E/R at calculated operation interval.
When the IPDM E/R receives a front wiper request signal (INT), it supplies ground to energize the front wiper
relay. It then sends an auto-stop signal to the BCM, and conducts intermittent front wiper motor operation.
AUTO STOP OPERATION
When the wiper arms are not located at the base of the windshield, and the wiper switch is turned OFF, the
wiper motor will continue to operate until the wiper arms reach the windshield base. When the wiper arms
reach the base of windshield, front wiper motor terminals 6 and 1 are connected.
Ground is supplied
• to IPDM E/R terminal 43
• through front wiper motor terminal 6
• through front wiper motor terminal 1
• through grounds E9, E15, and E24.
The IPDM E/R sends an auto stop operation signal to the BCM through CAN communication lines.
When the BCM receives an auto stop operation signal, the BCM sends wiper stop signal to the IPDM E/R over
CAN communication lines. The IPDM E/R then de-energizes the front wiper relay.
The wiper motor will then stop the wiper arms at the STOP position.
