• BCM transmits the front wiper request signal (INT) to IPDM E/R with CAN communication according to the

front wiper INT operation condition and the intermittent operation delay interval judged value.

Front wiper INT operating condition

- Ignition switch ON
- Front wiper switch INT

Intermittent operation delay interval judgment

- BCM calculates the intermittent operation delay interval from the vehicle speed signal received from the

wiper dial position and the combination meter with CAN communication.

• IPDM E/R turns the integrated front wiper relay ON so that the front wiper is operated only once according to

the front wiper request signal (INT).

• BCM detects stop position/except stop position of the front wiper motor according to the front wiper stop

position signal received from IPDM E/R with CAN communication.

• BCM transmits the front wiper request signal (INT) again after the intermittent operation delay interval after

the front wiper motor 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 auto stop signal from the front wiper motor and detects the front wiper

motor position (stop position/except stop position).

< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS >

FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM

• 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 with 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 3 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 relay according to the front wiper request signal (LO).
• The front washer motor is grounded through the combination 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 front wiper operation linked with washer.

• IPDM E/R turns ON the integrated front wiper relay according to the front wiper request signal (LO).

FRONT WIPER FAIL

−

SAFE OPERATION

• IPDM E/R performs the fail-safe function when the front wiper auto stop circuit is malfunctioning. Refer to

PCS-29, "Fail Safe"

.

Part

Description

BCM

• Judges each switch status by the combination switch reading function.
• Requests (with CAN communication) the front wiper relay and the front wiper high relay ON to 

IPDM E/R.

IPDM E/R

• Controls the integrated relay according to the request (with CAN communication) from BCM.
• Performs the auto stop control of the front wiper.

Combination switch
