4. FUNCTIONS OF RAIN SENSOR
1) Windshield Glass and Coupler Attachment
Check the outer windshield surface of sensing area for wear, damage and scratch. The sensor is
able to compensate the wear up to a specific level. Check the coupler attached surface of
windshield for porosity. If the porosity exists, the sensor cannot function properly.
2) Recognition of AUTO Mode
3) Instant Wipe Function
When the variable resistance knob on the multifunction wiper switch is turned by each 1 stage
from low sensitivity (Smark) to high sensitivity (F mark), the wiper operates one cycle.
And, the wiper also operates during raining up to 5 minutes after rain stops.When the engine is started with the wi
per switch “AUTO” position, the wiper operates one cycle

problem, go to diagnosis mode in STICS and check the terminal that receives signal from
wiper and communication lines between rain sensor unit and STICS. -
When the variable resistance knob is rotated by 4 stage from 0 stage without stoping, the
wiper operates one cycle. The wiper operates one cycle when changing the wiping stage (0
→ 1, 1 → 2, 2 → 3). -

4) Washer Coupled Wiper Function
Check the washer coupled wiper operation by pressing the washer switch.
5) Irregular Operations (Abrupt Operations)
6) Self Diagnosis
Position the wiper switch to “AUTO” position and rotate the variable resistance knob from “FAST”
toward “SLOW” by one step.
At this moment, check if the wiper operates one cycle.
The wiper operates when the windshield glass is excessively worn or scratched, the windshield
glass is not cleared wiped due to using worn wiper blade or different wiper blade, or the rain
sensor is not improperly installed.Check the sensor for coming off.
Check the rain sensor cover installation.
Check that the customer is familiar to how to control the wiper sensitivity. -
-
-
If the wiper blade cannot wipe the glass uniformly and clearly, the irregular operations could be
occurred. And, the wiper blade should be replaced with new one with same specifications. Check that the customer can select the sensitivity by selecting the variable resistance value
(stage 1 to stage 5), that is, the wiper sensitivity control value. And, also check whether the
sensitivity is selected to the highest value of FAST (stage 5).
Check the wiper blade for wear. -
▶Poor sensing
▶Poor sensor
Rotate the variable resistance knob toward “SLOW” by 2 more steps. At this moment, check if
the wiper operates one cycle.
The wiper operates when the sensor is defective.

6. RAIN SENSOR RELATED CIRCUIT
The rain sensor has one connector with 4 pins and each pin has following function as shown in
the circuit diagram.
However, in this vehicle, the terminal No. 1 and No. 2 are for communications between STIC
S
and the rain sensor; the No. 1 terminal sends the detected value from the rain sensor to STICS
then the STICS drives wiper motor.
to the rain sensor to recognize whether it is actual rain or it is in rain sensing wiper operation
mode.
No.2 terminal sends the wiper and washer operation information such as
washer operation mode,
MIST mode, or
AUTO wiper position -

2. CAUTIONS
The parking aid system is just a supplemental device to help your parking.
Always keep the safety precautions.
Do not press or shock the sensors by hitting or using a high-pressure water gun while
washing, since it may damage the sensors.
If the system is in normal operating condition, a short beep sounds when the shift lever is
moved into "R" position with the ignition key "ON".
If the system is defective, the warning buzzer sounds for 3 seconds when moving the gear

· Note that the display does not show everything in the rear area. Always check
nobody, especially animals and children, is behind the vehicle when parking or
reversing.
· If you can not properly check the vehicle behind, get out of the vehicle and then
visually check it.
The parking aid system will not work or improperly work under following cases: ▶
