FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
from BCM terminals 39 and 40
to IPDM E/R terminals 40 and 41.
When BCM determines that combination switch status is front wiper intermittent ON, it performs the following
operations.
BCM detects ON/OFF status of intermittent wiper dial position
BCM calculates operation interval from wiper dial position.
BCM sends a front wiper request signal (INT) to IPDM E/R at calculated operation interval.
When IPDM E/R receives the front wiper request signal (INT), it supplies ground to energize the front wiper
relay. It then sends auto-stop signal to the BCM and conducts intermittent front wiper motor operation.
AUTO STOP OPERATION
With wiper switch turned OFF, wiper motor will continue to operate until wiper arms reach windshield base.
When the wiper arms are not located at base of windshield with wiper switch OFF, ground is supplied
from IPDM E/R terminal 33
to front wiper motor terminal 3, in order to continue wiper motor operation at low speed.
When the wiper arms reach base of windshield, front wiper motor terminals 4 and 2 are connected, and
ground is supplied
to IPDM E/R terminal 38
through front wiper motor terminals 4 and 2
through grounds E15 and E24.
Then the IPDM E/R sends auto stop operation signal to BCM with CAN communication line.
When the BCM receives auto-stop operation signal, BCM sends wiper stop signal to IPDM E/R with CAN com-
munication line.
IPDM E/R stops wiper motor. Wiper motor will then stop wiper arms at the STOP position.
WASHER OPERATION
When the wiper switch is in front wiper washer position, BCM detect front wiper washer signal by BCM wiper
switch reading function. Refer to BCS-3, "
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION" .
Combination switch power is supplied
through combination switch terminal 14
to washer motor terminal 1.
Ground is supplied
to front washer motor terminal 2
through combination switch terminal 11
through combination switch terminal 12
through grounds M57 and M61.
With ground is supplied, front washer motor is operated.
When the BCM detects that front washer motor has operated for 0.4 seconds or longer, BCM operates front
wiper motor for low speed.
When the BCM detects washer switch is OFF, low speed operation cycles approximately 2 times and stops.
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 -S AFE F UN CTI ON
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
Refer to LT- 6 8 , "Combination Switch Reading Function" .

Front Wiper Does Not OperateEKS00I1T
CAUTION:
During IPDM E/R fail-safe control, front wipers may not operate. Refer to PG-17, "CAN COMMUNI-
CATION LINE CONTROL" in “PG IPDM E/R” to make sure that it is not in fail-safe status.
1. ACTIVE TEST
With CONSULT-ll
1. Select “IPDM E/R” on CONSULT-II, and select “ACTIVE TEST”
on “SELECT DIAG MODE” screen.
2. Select “FRONT WIPER” on “SELECT TEST ITEM” screen.
3. Touch “LO” or “HI” screen.
Without CONSULT-ll
Start up auto active test. Refer to PG-21, "
Auto Active Test" .
Does front wiper operate normally?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 4.
2. CHECK CIRCUIT BETWEEN COMBINATION SWITCH AND BCM
With CONSULT-ll
1. Select “BCM” on CONSULT-II, and select “WIPER” on “SELECT
TEST ITEM” screen.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” on “SELECT DIAG MODE” screen.
Make sure that “FR WIPER INT”, “FR WIPER LOW”, and “FR
WIPER HI” turn ON-OFF according to wiper switch operation.
Without CONSULT-ll
Refer to LT- 6 8 , "
Combination Switch Inspection" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Check combination switch (wiper switch). Refer to LT-
68, "Combination Switch Inspection" .
3. CHECK CIRCUIT BETWEEN IPDM E/R AND BCM
Select “BCM” on CONSULT-II, and perform self-diagnosis for
“BCM”.
Displayed self
-diagnosis results
NO DTC>>Replace BCM. Refer to BCS-25, "Removal and Installa-
tion of BCM" .
CAN COMM CIRCUIT>>Check CAN communication line of BCM.
Refer to BCS-18, "
CAN Communication Inspection
Using CONSULT-II (Self-Diagnosis)" .

6. CHECK IPDM E/R
With CONSULT-ll
1. Connect IPDM E/R connector E45.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Select “IPDM E/R” by CONSULT-II, and select “ACTIVE TEST” on “SELECT DIAG MODE” screen.
4. Select “FRONT WIPER” on “SELECT TEST ITEM” screen.
5. Touch “LO” or “HI” screen.
6. Check voltage between IPDM E/R connector E45 terminals 32
and 33 and ground while front wiper (HI, LO) is operating.
Without CONSULT-ll
1. Connect IPDM E/R connector E45.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Start auto active test. Refer to PG-21, "
Auto Active Test" .
4. Check voltage between IPDM E/R connector E45 terminals 32 and 33 and ground while front wiper (HI,
LO) is operating.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace front wiper motor. Refer to WW-25, "Removal and Installation of Front Wiper Drive
Assembly" .
NG >> Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to PG-29, "
Removal and Installation of IPDM E/R" .
Front Wiper Does Not Return to Stop Position (After Front Wiper Operate for 10
Seconds, They Stop for 20 Seconds, and After Repeating the Operations Five
Times, They Become Inoperative)
EKS00I1U
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 that front wipers are locked, and stops wiper output. That causes this
symptom.
This status can be checked by “DATA MONITOR” of “IPDM E/R” on which “WIPER PROT” item
shows “BLOCK”.
