SYSTEM
FRONT WIPER AUTO OPERATION
Rain Detection
Rain level and sensor conditions are detected by light & rain sensor.
 BCM transmits the vehicle conditions (vehicle speed, front wiper condition, rain sensor sensitivity setting,
etc.) to the light & rain sensor via the rain sensor serial link.
 Light & rain sensor judges a wiping speed for front wi per by rain condition and the vehicle conditions. And it
transmits the wiping speed request signal to t he BCM via the rain sensor serial link.
Auto Wiping Operation
 BCM receives the wiping speed request signal from the light & rain sensor via the rain sensor serial link.
 BCM controls front wiper operation according to t he wiping speed request signals. And it transmits the front
wiper request signals (LO or HI) to the IPDM E/R via CAN communication line.
Front wiper AUTO operating condition
- Ignition switch ON
- Front wiper switch AUTO
NOTE:
When the front wiper switch is turned to AUTO positi on, front wiper operates once regardless of rainy condi-
tions.
Rain Sensor Sensitivity Setting
BCM determines rain sensor sensitivity according to wiper volume dial position.
NOTE:
When the wiper volume dial position is turned up by 1 level under front wiper AUTO operating condition, front
wiper operates once.
Splash mode operation
Front wiper is operated at HI regardl ess of the wiper volume adjustment position, when water drops are instan-
taneously sprayed over the windshield glass due to wate r splash from oncoming vehicles or other causes.
After that, AUTO operation is performed depending on the amount of water drops.
SPLASH MODE OPERATION CONDITIONS Front wiper switch AUTO
 Ignition switch ON
NOTE:
Splash mode is not operated and auto wiping operati on is performed, while the vehicle is stopped.
FRONT WIPER AUTO STOP OPERATION
 BCM stops transmitting the front wiper request signal when the front wiper switch is turned OFF.
 IPDM E/R detects the front wiper stop position signal from the front wiper motor and detects the front wiper
motor position (stop position/except stop position).

 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 via 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 2 times
when the front washer switch 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 washer pump is grounded through the combinati on switch with the front washer switch ON.
FRONT WIPER DROP WIPE OPERATION
 BCM controls the front wiper to operate once according 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 fr ont wiper operation linked with washer.
 IPDM E/R turns ON the integrated front wiper rela y according to the front wiper request signal (LO).
WIPER LINKED AUTO LIGHTING FUNCTION
When light switch is in the AUTO position, front wiper operates, and then headlamp illuminates. Refer to EXL-
11 , "AUTO LIGHT SYSTEM : System Description (For CANADA)" or EXL-12, "AUTO LIGHT SYSTEM : Sys-
tem Description (Except for CANADA)".
FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM : Fail-safeINFOID:0000000006300453
IPDM E/R
When CAN communication with ECM and BCM is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control. After CAN
communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.
If No CAN Communication Is Available With BCM

< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >
SYSTEM
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop position by a front wiper stop position signal.
When a front wiper stop position signal is in the conditi ons listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 seconds activation and 20 seconds 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.
BCM
BCM detects the rain sensor serial link error and the light & rain sensor malfunction.
BCM controls the following fail-safe when light & rain sensor has a malfunction.
Fail-safe Control
 Front wiper control
- Front wiper switch AUTO and sensing rain drop: The c ondition just before the activation of fail-safe is main-
tained until the front wiper switch is turned OFF.
- Front wiper switch AUTO and not sensing rain drop: Front wiper is LO operation until the front wiper switch is
turned off.
