Components Parts and Harness Connector LocationNKS0051Z
System DescriptionNKS00520
All front wiper relays (HI, LO) are included in IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine
room).
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.
OUT LINE
Power is supplied at all times
to ignition relay, located in IPDM E/R, from battery direct
through 40 A fusible link [letter F, located in fuse, fusible link and relay box]
to BCM terminal 55,
through 10 A fuse [No.18 located in fuse block (J/B)]
to BCM terminal 42,
through 30 A fuse [No.73 located in IPDM E/R]
to front wiper relay, located in IPDM E/R,
through 15 A fuse [No.78 located in IPDM E/R]
to CPU (central processing unit) located in IPDM E/R,
through 10 A fuse [No.71 located in IPDM E/R]
to CPU located in IPDM E/R.
When ignition switch is in ON or START position, power is supplied
to ignition relay, located in IPDM E/R,
through 10 A fuse [No.1 located in fuse block (J/B)]
to BCM terminal 38,
through ignition relay, located in IPDM E/R
to front wiper relay, located in IPDM E/R
to front wiper high relay, located in IPDM E/R
to CPU located in IPDM E/R,
through 10 A fuse [No.84 located in IPDM E/R]
through IPDM E/R terminal 44

MIST OPERATION
When the wiper switch is turned to the mist position, wiper low speed operation cycles once and then stops.
For additional information about wiper operation under this condition, refer to WW-5, "
LOW SPEED WIPER
OPERATION" .
If switch is held in mist position, low speed operation continues.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
If an abnormality occurs in CAN communications, IPDM E/R holds the condition just before fail-safe status is
initiated until ignition switch is turned off. (If wipers were operating in LO just before the initiation of fail-safe
status, they continue to operate in LO until ignition switch is turned OFF)
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description
BCM reads combination switch (wiper) status, and controls related systems such as headlamps and wip-
ers, 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 (1 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
voltage of input terminals (INPUT 1 - 5) corresponding to that switch changes, interface in BCM detects
voltage change, and BCM determines that switch is ON.

CAUTION:
Check combination switch system terminal waveform under the loaded condition with lighting
switch, turn signal switch and wiper switch OFF not to be fluctuated by overloaded.
Turn wiper dial position to 4 except when checking waveform or voltage of wiper dial position.
Wiper dial position can be confirmed on CONSULT-III. Refer to WW-19, "
