WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHERM1549021500257
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80The following ECUs affect the functions and control 
of the windshield wiper and washer.
Windshield wiper and washer control function
.
Intermittent control (vehicle speed-dependent 
variable type)
ETACS-ECU uses the dial position of the variable intermittent 
wiper control switch and the vehicle speed signal sent by the 
combination meter to calculate the interval to be sent to the 
front-ECU.
NOTE: The speed-sensitive wiper can be customized on vehi-
cles equipped with a multi center display (middle grade type). 
Refer to P.54B-486.
The front-ECU determines the intermittent time T1 from the 
input SWS data signal, and turns ON the windshield wiper drive 
signal. When the wiper is at the STOP position, the windshield 
wiper auto-stop signal goes OFF, then turns OFF the wind-
shield wiper drive signal. After the intermittent time T1 seconds 
from when the windshield wiper drive signal turned ON, the 
windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON again and the above 
operation is repeated.
NOTE: If the intermittent time T1 is within 2 seconds, the wiper 
is operated consecutively at LOW-speed by the front-ECU.

Mist wiper control
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON posi-
tion, and the windshield mist wiper switch is turned 
ON, the front-ECU turns ON the windshield wiper 
drive signal. At the same time, the wiper speed 
switching relay is turned ON (HIGH-SPEED). While 
the windshield mist wiper switch is ON, the wind-
shield wiper will operate at high speed. Then, if the 
windshield mist wiper switch is turned off, the wiper 
operates at low speed until it stops at the predeter-
mined park position.When the windshield mist switch is turned on briefly, 
the wiper operates once at low speed.
At the point the windshield mist switch is turned ON, 
if the windshield wiper has been operating intermit-
tently, the same operations as the above will be per-
formed while the windshield mist wiper switch is ON. 
After the windshield mist wiper switch goes OFF, the 
intermittent operations will be set again T1 seconds 
after the last windshield wiper auto-stop signal turn-
ing ON.
.
Low speed wiper and high speed wiper control
When the ignition switch is at the ACC or ON posi-
tion, and the windshield low speed wiper switch of 
the column switch is turned ON, the front-ECU turns 
ON the windshield wiper drive signal, turns OFF (LO) 
the windshield wiper speed relay, and operates the windshield wiper at low speed. Next, when the wind-
shield high speed wiper switch is turned ON, the 
windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON, the wind-
shield wiper speed switching relay is turned ON (HI), 
and the windshield wiper is operated at high speed.

SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-225
Washer control
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON posi-
tion, and the windshield washer switch is turned ON, 
the front-ECU turns ON the windshield washer relay. 
The windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON after 
0.15 seconds until 2 seconds after the windshield washer switch goes OFF to operate the windshield 
wiper continuously. When the windshield washer 
switch is turned ON, if the windshield wiper is operat-
ing intermittently, intermittent operations will be con-
tinued after continuous operations.
NOTE: The wiper drive signal output time varies 
according to the conditions. Refer to the following 
table for details.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE G-1: Windshield Wiper and Washer: The windshield wiper do not work at 
all.
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires use 
of Diagnostic Tool MB991958 and SWS monitor kit 
MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS mon-
itor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor 
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The windshield wiper and washer switch sends a 
signal through the column-ECU (incorporated in 
the column switch) to the front-ECU. If the col-
umn-ECU sends a windshield wiper and washer 
switch "ON" signal to the front-ECU, the 
front-ECU turns on the relay (incorporated in the 
front-ECU), thus causing the windshield wiper 
and washer motor to be turned on.
If the SWS communication line is defective, the 
front-ECU operates windshield wiper motor by 
using the other communication lines (wiper 
backup circuit) instead of that line. In this case, 
the windshield wiper works at low speed regard-
less of the windshield wiper and washer switch 
positions ("LO" or "HIGH").
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the windshield wiper does not work at all, the wind-
shield wiper motor, column switch (windshield wiper 
and washer switch) or the front-ECU may be defec-
tive.

Taillamps and headlamps illumination
.
Taillamps
If the column switch sends a taillamp switch "ON" signal to the 
front-ECU, the front-ECU turns on its taillamp relay, causing the 
taillamps to illuminate.
NOTE: This description covers the taillamps only. In actual driv-
ing, the taillamps may be turned off due to the headlamp auto-
matic shut-off function. For the details of the headlamp 
automatic shut-off function, refer to .
.
Headlamps
If the column switch sends a headlamp switch "ON" 
signal to the front-ECU, the front-ECU turns on its 
headlamp relay (LOW), causing the low-beam 
headlamps to illuminate. If the dimmer switch is 
turned on while the headlamp relay (LOW) is on, the 
front-ECU turns on the headlamp relay (HIGH), 
causing the high-beam headlamps to illuminate.NOTE: This description covers the headlamps only. 
In actual driving, the headlamps may be turned off 
due to the headlamp automatic shut-off function. For 
the details of the headlamp automatic shut-off func-
tion, refer to .
High-beam indicator lamp
At the same time that the high-beams are illuminated, the 
ETACS-ECU sends a signal to illuminate the high beam indica-
tor via the CAN bus line. The combination meter receives the 
transmitted signal and turns the high-beam indicator on and off.
