DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 84-15
Front washer pump
The front washer pump consists of a DC motor with an impeller. It is located in the rear of the washer fluid reservoir
and can be identified by its black top.
Operating the front washer switch provides battery voltage to the front washer pump. This same battery voltage signal
also goes to the BCU and increments the headlamp powerwash counter providing the headlamps are switched on.
Rear washer pump
The rear washer pump consists of a DC motor with an impeller. It is located in the rear of the washer fluid reservoir
and can be identified by its red top.
Operating the rear washer switch provides battery voltage to the rear washer pump.

84-16 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Headlamp powerwash pump
The headlamp power wash pump consists of a DC motor with an impeller. It is located on the front of the washer fluid
reservoir.
The BCU controls operation of the headlamp power wash relay, which supplies battery voltage from fuse 4 located in
the engine compartment fuse box to the headlamp power wash pump. When the BCU determines headlamp power
wash is to be activated, it provides a ground path for the coil of the headlamp power wash relay. The auxiliary relay
located in the engine compartment fuse box supplies the headlamp power wash relay coil with battery voltage.

WIPERS AND WASHERS
84-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Front flick wipe
Flick wipe operation will only activate when the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch is in position I or II.
lFront flick switch is operated.
Pressing the flick wipe switch operates the front wiper motor at high speed. The front wiper motor operates as long
as the flick switch is activated. Releasing the flick switch causes the front wiper motor to run through the park switch
circuitry. The park switch only permits low speed operation. Thus if the flick switch is pressed and immediately
released, the wipers operate at low speed.
Rear intermittent wipe variable delay
The rear intermittent wipe variable delay operation allows the driver to adjust the interval between wipes to suit local
conditions. Rear variable delay operation only activates if the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch in position I or II.
lFront wash/ wipe switch on intermittent.
lRear wipe switch is operated.
The BCU determines the desired delay interval based on the setting of the variable delay switch. The rear wash/ wipe
delay is nominally twice as long as that of the front. This information passes from the IDM to the rear wiper relay and
activates the rear wiper motor.
If the delay duration is decreased during operation of the rear wiper, the wipers immediately operate once and the
delay cycle is reset.
If the delay duration is increased during operation of the rear wiper, the delay cycle is automatically increased by the
BCU.
Reverse wiping
Reverse wiping operates the rear wiper motor when reverse gear is selected. The transmission must be in reverse
for longer then 0.5 seconds before reversing wipe activates. Reversing wipe activates if the following conditions are
met:
lIgnition switch is in position II.
lReverse gear is selected.
lRear wiper or front wipers operating.
If the rear wiper is active in any mode when reverse gear is selected, the rear wiper activates for 4 second. After 4
seconds the rear wiper operates in a delay operation at the same delay interval set by the variable delay switch until
reverse gear is deselected.
If the front wipers are operating on either low or high speed when reverse gear is selected, the rear wiper activates
continuously until reverse gear is deselected.
In order to enable reversing wipe functions, the BCU utilises the reversing light switch located within the transmission
to determine when reverse gear has been selected.
If the front intermittent wipe is active when reverse gear is selected, the rear wiper completes 2 cycles before operating
at the same intermittent delay as the front wipers.
Rear wipe
Rear wipe operation will only activate when the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch is in position II.
lRear wipe switch is operated.
Operating the rear wiper switch provides an earth input to the BCU. The BCU tells the IDM to activate the rear wiper
relay, which provides battery voltage to the wiper motor through the normally closed contacts of the park switch.

WIPERS AND WASHERS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 84-19
Rear wash
Rear wash will only operate when the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch is in position II.
lRear wash switch operated.
Operating the rear washer switch for longer than 0.4 second allows the rear washer pump motor and rear wipers to
run as long as the switch is held. The wipers run for 4 seconds after the rear washer switch is released. Flicking the
rear washer switch energises the rear washer pump motor for 0.4 second.
The rear washer operation has a higher priority than the intermittent wipe operation. If the intermittent wipe is active
when a rear washer operation is initiated, the wash cycle executes and the intermittent wipe is re-instated at the end
of the washer operation.
Wiper park switch
The park switch allows the wipers to come to rest in the park position when the wipe switch is turned off in mid-wipe.
The park switch consists of a positive and a negative contact. These two contacts are described as closed at park
and closed when operating. When the wipers first start, the park switch is in the closed at park position. A relay
controls battery voltage to the motor. Battery voltage passes through this relay contact to move the wiper motor from
the park position.
When the motor moves, the park switch moves to the closed when operating position. Battery voltage to this relay
contact is direct from fuse 19. Battery voltage passes through this contact to keep the wiper motor running. The wiper
motor operates for one complete revolution until the park switch moves to the closed at park position again.
Switching off the wipers removes battery voltage from the closed at park contact. When the wipers reach the closed
at park switch an earth is applied and the motor stops abruptly.
Headlamp power wash
Headlamp power wash activates when the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch in position II.
lHeadlamps switched on.
lFront wash switch operated.
lBCU counter allows headlamp power wash.
Operating the front washer switch with the headlamps switched on energises the IDM, supplying a voltage to the
headlamp powerwash relay, which operates the headlamp powerwash pump and increments a counter within the
BCU. This counter prevents the headlamp powerwash pump from operating every time the front washer switch is
activated. Headlamp powerwash is only operational every third front wash cycle, providing the headlamps are on.
The counter resets when the ignition switch is turned off.
When the BCU permits headlamp power wash operation, the pump motor operates only for 0.5 second.
