ACTIVE TEST
Display Item List
Auto Active TestINFOID:0000000005928347
DESCRIPTION
• In auto active test mode, operation inspection can be performed when IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the
following systems:
- Rear window defogger
- Front wipers
- Tail, license and parking lamps
- Daytime lamp system (Canada only)
- Front fog lamps
- Headlamps (High, Low)
- A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
- Cooling fan
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Close hood and front door RH, and lift wiper arms away from windshield (to prevent glass damage by wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield beforehand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch ON and, within 20 seconds, pres s front door switch LH 10 times. Then turn ignition
switch OFF.
4. Turn ignition switch ON within 10 seconds after ignition switch OFF.
5. When auto active test mode is actuated, horn chirps once.
6. After a series of operations is repeated three times, auto active test is completed.

AUTO STOP OPERATION
With combination switch (wiper switch) turned OFF, wi per motor will continue to operate until wiper arms reach
windshield base.
When the wiper arms are not located at base of windshield with combination switch (wiper switch) OFF,
ground is supplied
• from IPDM E/R terminal 33
• to front wiper motor terminal 3, in order to continue wiper motor operation at low speed.
When the wiper arms reach base of windshield, front wiper motor terminals 4 and 2 are connected, and
ground is supplied
• to IPDM E/R terminal 38
• through front wiper motor terminals 4 and 2, and
• through grounds E15 and E24.
Then the IPDM E/R sends auto stop operation signal to BCM with CAN communication line.
When the BCM receives auto-stop operation signal, BCM sends wiper stop signal to IPDM E/R with CAN com-
munication line.
IPDM E/R stops wiper motor. Wiper motor wi ll then stop wiper arms at the STOP position.
WASHER OPERATION
When the combination switch (wiper switch) is in front wiper washer position, BCM detect front wiper washer
signal by BCM combination switch (wiper switch) reading function. Refer to BCS-4, "
System Description" .
Combination switch (wiper switch) power is supplied
• through combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 14
• to washer motor terminal 1.
Ground is supplied
• to front washer motor terminal 2
• through combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 11, and
• through combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 12
• through grounds M57 and M61.
With ground supplied, front washer motor is operated.
When the BCM detects that front washer motor has operated for 0.4 seconds or longer, BCM operates front
wiper motor for low speed.
When the BCM detects washer switch is OFF, low speed operation cycles approximately 2 times and stops.
MIST OPERATION
When the combination switch (wiper switch) is turned to the mist position, wiper low speed operation cycles
once and then stops.
For additional information about wiper operation under th is condition, refer to "LOW SPEED WIPER OPERA-
TION" .
If switch is held in mist posit ion, low speed operation continues.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
If an abnormality occurs in CAN communications, IPDM E/ R holds the condition just before fail-safe status is
initiated until ignition switch is turned OFF. (If wipers we re operating in LO just before the initiation of fail-safe
status, they continue to operate in LO until ignition switch is turned OFF.)
