The front wiper is controlled by each function of BCM and IPDM E/R.
Control by BCM
• Combination switch reading function
• Front wiper control function
Control by IPDM E/R
• Front wiper control function
• Relay control function
FRONT WIPER BASIC OPERATION
• BCM detects the combination switch conditi on by the combination switch reading function.
• BCM transmits the front wiper request signal to IPDM E/R with CAN communication depending on each
operating condition of the front wiper.
• IPDM E/R turns ON/OFF the integrated front wiper rela y and the front wiper high relay according to the front
wiper request signal. IPDM E/R provides the power supply to operate the front wiper HI/LO operation.
FRONT WIPER LO OPERATION
• BCM transmits the front wiper request signal (LO) to IPDM E/R with CAN communication according to the
front wiper LO operating condition.
Front wiper LO operating condition
- Ignition switch ON
- Front wiper switch LO or front wiper switch MIST (while pressing)
• IPDM E/R turns ON the integrated front wiper rela y according to the front wiper request signal (LO).
FRONT WIPER HI OPERATION
• BCM transmits the front wiper request signal (HI) to IPDM E/R with CAN communication according to the
front wiper HI operating condition.
Front wiper HI operating condition
- Ignition switch ON
- Front wiper switch HI
• IPDM E/R turns ON the integrated front wiper relay and the front wiper high relay according to the front wiper request signal (HI).

• BCM transmits the front wiper request signal (INT) to IPDM E/R with CAN communication according to the
front wiper INT operation condition and the intermittent operation delay interval judged value.
Front wiper INT operating condition- Ignition switch ON
- Front wiper switch INT
Intermittent operation delay interval judgment- BCM calculates the intermittent operation delay inte rval from the vehicle speed signal received from the
wiper dial position and the combination meter with CAN communication.
• IPDM E/R turns the integrated front wiper relay ON so that the front wiper is operated only once according to the front wiper request signal (INT).
• BCM detects stop position/except st op position of the front wiper motor according to the front wiper stop
position signal received from IP DM E/R with CAN communication.
• BCM transmits the front wiper request signal (INT) again after the intermittent operation delay interval after the front wiper motor is stopped.
FRONT WIPER AUTO STOP OPERATION
• BCM stops transmitting the front wiper request si gnal when the front wiper switch is turned OFF.
• IPDM E/R detects the front wiper auto stop signal fr om the front wiper motor and detects the front wiper
motor position (stop positi on/except stop position).

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".

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.
