If No CAN Communication Is Available With BCM
IGNITION RELAY MALFUNCTION DETECTION FUNCTION
• IPDM E/R monitors the voltage at the contact circuit and excitation coil circuit of the ignition relay inside it.
• IPDM E/R judges the ignition relay error if the voltage differs between the contact circuit and the excitation
coil circuit.
• If the ignition relay cannot turn OFF due to contact seizure, it activates the tail lamp relay for 10 minutes to alert the user to the ignition relay malfunction when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
NOTE:
The tail lamp turns OFF when the ignition switch is turned ON.
FRONT WIPER CONTROL
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop posit ion by a front wiper auto stop signal.
When a front wiper auto stop signal is in the conditions listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 second activation and 20 second stop five times.
NOTE:
This operation status can be confirmed on the IPDM E/R “DATA MONITOR” that displays “Block” for the item
“WIP PROT” while the wiper is stopped.
STARTER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R turns OFF the starter control relay to protect the starter motor when the starter control relay remains
active for 90 seconds.
Control part Fail-safe in operation

• Turns OFF the tail lamp relay when the ignition switch is turned OFF
Front wiper • The status just before activation of fail-safe control is maintained until the ignition
switch is turned OFF while the front wiper is operating at LO or HI speed.
• The wiper is operated at LO speed until the ignition switch is turned OFF if the fail- safe control is activated while the front wipe r is set in the INT mode and the front wiper
motor is operating.

FRONT WIPER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
• IPDM E/R may stop the front wiper to protect the front wiper motor if any obstruction (operation resistance)
such as a large amount of snow is detected during the front wiper operation.
• At that time turn OFF the front wiper and remove t he foreign object. Then wait for approximately 20 seconds
or more and reactivate the front wiper. The wiper will operate normally.
REAR WIPER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
• BCM may stop rear wiper to protect the rear wiper motor when the rear wiper is stopped for 5 seconds or more due to a snowfall.
• Rear wiper operates normally one minute after the obstacles are removed with rear wiper OFF.

FRONT WIPER ARM ADJUSTMENT
1. Operate wiper motor one full cycle, then turn "OFF" (Auto Stop).
2. Lift the wiper blade up and then rest it onto glass surface, check
the blade clearance "L1" and "L2".
3. Remove wiper arm covers and wiper arm nuts.
4. Adjust front wiper arms on wiper motor pivot shafts to obtain above specified blade clearances.
5. Tighten wiper arm nuts to specified torque, and install wiper arm covers. Refer to WW-80, "
