WW-6
FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
BCM detects ON/OFF status of intermittent wiper dial position
BCM calculates operation interval from wiper dial position and vehicle speed signal received through CAN
communications.
BCM sends front wiper request signal (INT) to IPDM E/R at calculated operation interval.
When the IPDM E/R receives a front wiper request signal (INT), it supplies ground to energize the front wiper
relay. It then sends an auto-stop signal to the BCM, and conducts intermittent front wiper motor operation.
AUTO STOP OPERATION
When the wiper arms are not located at the base of the windshield, and the wiper switch is turned OFF, the
wiper motor will continue to operate until the wiper arms reach the windshield base. When the wiper arms
reach the base of windshield, front wiper motor terminals 6 and 1 are connected.
Ground is supplied
to IPDM E/R terminal 43
through front wiper motor terminal 6
through front wiper motor terminal 1
through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
The IPDM E/R sends an auto stop operation signal to the BCM through CAN communication lines.
When the BCM receives an auto stop operation signal, the BCM sends wiper stop signal to the IPDM E/R over
CAN communication lines. The IPDM E/R then de-energizes the front wiper relay.
The wiper motor will then stop the wiper arms at the STOP position.
FRONT WASHER OPERATION
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, and the front and rear washer switches are OFF, the
front and rear washer motor is supplied power
through 10A fuse (No. 9, located in the fuse block J/B)
through combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 14
through combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 13
to front and rear washer motor terminal 1, and
through combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 11
to front and rear washer motor terminal 2.
When the front wiper switch is in the front washer position, the BCM detects a front washer signal request
through the combination switch (wiper switch) reading function.
Combination switch ground is supplied
to front and rear washer motor terminal 2
through combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 11
through combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 12
through grounds M57, M61 and M79.
With ground supplied, the front and rear washer motor is operated in the front direction.
When the BCM detects that front washer motor has operated for 0.4 seconds or longer, the BCM uses CAN
communication and sends a wiper request signal to the IPDM E/R for low speed operation of wipers.
When the BCM detects that the washer switch is OFF, low speed operation cycles approximately 3 times and
then stops.
MIST OPERATION
When the wiper switch is temporarily placed in 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 the switch is held in the mist position, low speed operation continues.
FAIL -S AFE F UN CTI ON
The BCM includes fail-safe function to prevent malfunction of electrical components controlled by CAN com-
munications if a malfunction in CAN communications occurs.
The BCM uses CAN communications to stop output of electrical components it controls.
Until the ignition switch is turned off, the front wiper system remains in same status as just before fail-safe con-
trol was initiated. (If wiper was in low speed operation just before fail-safe, it continues low speed operation
until ignition switch is turned OFF.)
When fail-safe status is initiated, the BCM remains in standby until normal signals are received.
