FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Front Wiper Does Not Return to Stop Position When Front Wiper Motor Oper-
ates at HIGH Speed (After Front Wiper Operate for 10 Seconds, They Stop for 20 
Seconds, and After Repeating the Operations Five Times, They Become Inoper-
ative)
NKS003WQ
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 PROTECTION”
item shows “BLOCK”.
1. CHECK FRONT WIPER STOP SIGNAL
With CONSULT-ll
Select  “IPDM  E/R”  on  CONSULT-II.  With  “DATA  MONITOR”,  make
sure  that  “WIP  AUTO  STOP”  turns  “ACT  P”  -  “STOP  P”  linked  with
wiper HI operation. 
Without CONSULT-ll
GO TO 2.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace  IPDM  E/R.  Refer  to PG-31,  "Removal  and
Installation of IPDM E/R" .
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK IPDM E/R
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect IPDM E/R connector and front wiper motor connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Check  voltage  between  IPDM  E/R  harness  connector  and
ground  while  front wiper motor  is  stopped and while front  wiper
HI is operating.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to PG-31, "Removal and Installation of IPDM E/R" .
NG >> GO TO 3.

2. Open hood, remove arm caps, and remove wiper arm nuts.
3. Raise wiper arm, and remove wiper arm from the vehicle.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean up the pivot area as shown in the figure. This will reduce
possibility of wiper arm looseness.
2. Prior  to  wiper  arm  installation,  turn  on  wiper  switch  to  operate
wiper motor and then turn it “OFF” (auto stop).
3. Push wiper arm onto pivot shaft, paying attention to blind spline.
4. Lift  the  blade  up and  then  set  it down  onto  glass  surface  to set
the  blade  center  to  clearance  “L1”  &  “L2”  immediately  before
tightening nuts.
5. Spray washer fluid. Turn on wiper switch to operate wiper motor
and then turn it “OFF”. 
6. Make sure that wiper blades stop within clearance “L1” & “L2”. 
Tighten wiper arm nuts to specified torque.
7. Attach wiper arm caps.
ADJUSTMENT
