 Rear wiper control function
REAR WIPER BASIC OPERATION
 BCM detects the combination switch conditi on by the combination switch reading function.
 BCM controls the rear wiper to start or stop.
REAR WIPER ON OPERATION
 BCM supplies power to the rear wiper motor according to the rear wiper ON operating condition.
Rear wiper ON operating condition
- Ignition switch ON
- Rear wiper switch ON
REAR WIPER INT OPERATION
 BCM supplies power to the rear wiper motor according to the INT operating condition.
Rear wiper INT operating condition- Ignition switch ON
- Rear wiper switch INT
 BCM controls the rear wiper to operate once.
 BCM detects the rear wiper motor stopping position.
 BCM supplies power to the rear wiper motor after an intermittent from the stop of the rear wiper motor.
REAR WIPER AUTO STOP OPERATION
 BCM stops supplying power to the rear wiper motor when the rear wiper switch is turned OFF.
 BCM reads a rear wiper stop position signal from the r ear 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 accord ing to the washer linked operating condition of rear
wiper. When the rear washer switch is turned OFF, BCM controls rear wiper to operate approximately 3
times.
Washer linked operating condition of rear wiper- Ignition switch ON

SYSTEM
- Rear washer switch ON (0.4 second or more)
 The washer pump is grounded through the combination switch with the rear washer switch ON.
REAR WIPER OPERATION LINKED WITH REVERSE (WITH RAIN SENSOR)
 BCM controls rear wiper to operate once according to the conditions of rear wiper operation linked with
reverse.
Condition of rear wiper operation linked with reverse - Ignition switch ON
- Front wiper switch: LO, HI or AUTO, and the front wiper auto operation ON judgement.
- Rear wiper switch OFF
- Selector lever “R”
 TCM transmits the shift position signal to BCM thr ough the CAN communication line when the selector lever
is shifted to "R".
 BCM supplies power to the rear wiper motor when receiving the shift position signal.
REAR WIPER OPERATION LINKED WITH REVERSE (WITHOUT RAIN SENSOR)
 BCM controls rear wiper to operate once according to the conditions of rear wiper operation linked with
reverse.
Condition of rear wiper operation linked with reverse
- Ignition switch ON
- Front wiper switch: LO, HI or INT.
- Rear wiper switch OFF
- Selector lever “R”
 TCM transmits the shift position signal to BCM thr ough the CAN communication line when the selector lever
is shifted to "R".
 BCM supplies power to the rear wiper motor when receiving the shift position signal.
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 once approximately three seconds later after the washer
interlocking operation of the rear wiper.
REAR WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM : Fail SafeINFOID:0000000006300459
REAR WIPER MOTOR PROTECTION
BCM detects the rear wiper stopping position ac cording to the rear wiper auto stop signal.
When the rear wiper auto stop signal does not change more than 5 seconds while driving the rear wiper, BCM
stops power supply to protect the rear wiper motor.
Condition of cancellation
1. Pass more than 1 minute after the rear wiper stop.
2. Operate the rear wiper switch.

OUTLINE
Headlamp washer is controlled by each function of BCM and IPDM E/R.
Control by BCM Combination switch reading function
 Headlamp washer control function
Control by IPDM E/R Headlamp washer relay control function
HEADLAMP WASHER BASIC OPERATION
 BCM detects the combination switch conditi on by the combination switch reading function.
 BCM transmits the headlamp washer request signal to IPDM E/R with CAN communication depending on
each operating condition of the headlamp washer.
Operation by front washer switch (The first time)
- Ignition switch ON
- Headlamps ON
- Front washer switch ON at first time
Operation by front washer switch (From the second time)- Ignition switch ON
- Headlamps ON
- Front washer switch ON at fifth time after the first time
 IPDM E/R turns ON/OFF the headlamp washer relay by receiving the headlamp washer request signal, and
controls the headlamp washer.

AUTO ACTIVE TEST
Description
In auto active test, the IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the following systems to check their operation.
 Oil pressure warning lamp
 Rear window defogger
 Front wiper (LO, HI)
 Parking lamp
 License plate lamp
 Tail lamp
 Side marker lamp
 Front fog lamp
 Headlamp (LO, HI)

Operation Procedure
CAUTION:
Never perform auto active test in the following conditions.
 Engine is running.
 CONSULT-III is connected.
1. Close the hood and lift the wiper arms from the windshield. (Prevent windshield damage due to wiper
operation)
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield beforehand.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, pr ess the driver door switch 10 times. Then turn the
ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
Close passenger door.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Af ter that the horn sounds once and the auto active test
starts.
CAUTION:
Engine starts when igniti on switch is turned ON while brake pedal is depressed.
5. The oil pressure warning lamp starts blinking when the auto active test starts.
6. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
 When auto active test has to be cancelled halfway through test, turn the ignition switch OFF.
 When auto active test is not activated, door swit ch may be the cause. Check door switch. Refer to DLK-117,
"ComponentFunctionCheck".
