FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
• When the front wiper request signal is stopped, IPDM E/R turns ON the front wiper relay until the front wiper
motor returns to the stop position.
NOTE:
• BCM stops the transmitting of the front wiper request signal when the ignition switch is OFF.
• IPDM E/R turns the front wiper relay OFF when the ignition switch is OFF.
FRONT WIPER OPERATION LINKED WITH WASHER
• BCM transmits the front wiper request signal (LO) to IPDM E/R with CAN communication according to the
washer linked operating condition of the front wiper.
• BCM transmits the front wiper request signal (LO) so that the front wiper operates approximately 3 times when the front washer s witch OFF is detected.
Washer linked operating condition of front wiper
- Ignition switch ON
- Front washer switch ON (0.4 second or more)
• IPDM E/R turns ON the integrated front wiper rela y according to the front wiper request signal (LO).
• The front and rear washer motor is grounded through the combination switch with the front washer switch
ON.
FRONT WIPER DROP WIPE OPERATION
• BCM controls the front wiper to operate once accordi ng to the conditions of front wiper drop wipe operation.
Front wiper drop wipe operating condition- Ignition switch ON
- Front wiper switch OFF
- Front washer switch OFF
• BCM transmits the front wiper request signal (LO) to IPDM E/R with CAN communication so that the front
wiper operate once three seconds after front wiper operation linked with washer.
• IPDM E/R turns ON the integrated front wiper rela y according to the front wiper request signal (LO).
FRONT WIPER FAIL−SAFE OPERATION
• IPDM E/R performs the fail-safe function when the front wiper auto stop circuit is malfunctioning. Refer to
WW-65, "
FailSafe".

• BCM reads an auto stop signal from the rear wiper motor to detect a rear wiper motor position.
• When the rear wiper motor is at other than the stopping position, BCM continues to supply power to the rear
wiper motor until it returns to the stopping position.
NOTE:
BCM stops supplying power to the rear wiper motor when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
REAR WIPER OPERATION LINKED WITH WASHER
• BCM supplies power to the rear wiper motor according to the washer linked operating condition of rear
wiper. When the rear washer switch is turned OFF, BC M controls rear wiper to operate approximately three
times.
Washer linked operating condition of rear wiper- Ignition switch ON
- Rear washer switch ON (0.4 second or more)
• Front and rear washer motor becomes grounded through the combination switch when the rear washer switch is turned ON.
REAR WIPER DROP WIPE OPERATION
• BCM controls the rear wiper to operate once acco rding to the rear wiper drop wipe operating condition.
Rear wiper drop wipe operating condition
- Ignition switch ON
- Rear wiper switch OFF
- Rear washer switch OFF
• BCM controls the rear wiper so that it operates onc e time approximately three seconds later after the washer
interlocking operation of the rear wiper.
REAR WIPER FAIL −SAFE OPERATION
BCM performs the fail-safe function when the rear wi per auto stop circuit is malfunctioning. Refer to WW-52,
"FailSafe".

AUTO ACTIVE TEST
Description
In auto active test mode, the IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the following systems to check their operation.
• Oil pressure low/coolant pressure high warning indicator
• Oil pressure gauge
• Rear window defogger
• Front wipers
• Tail, license and parking lamps
• Front fog lamps
• Headlamps (Hi, Lo)
• A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)
• Cooling fan
Operation Procedure
1. Close the hood and front door RH, and lift the wiper arms from the windshield (to prevent windshield dam-
age due to wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield before hand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON and, within 20 seconds, press the front door switch LH 10 times. Then turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Af ter that the horn sounds once and the auto active test
starts.
5. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway through test, turn ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
• If auto active test mode cannot be actua ted, check door switch system. Refer to DLK-67, "
Descrip-
tion".
• Do not start the engine.
Inspection in Auto Active Test Mode
When auto active test mode is actuated, the following 7 steps are repeated 3 times.
