GENERAL INFORMATION

REAR WIPER AND WASHER OPERATION
Rear Wiper Operation

• If the rear wiper and washer switch is turned to 

"INT" position with the ignition switch at "ACC" or 
"ON" position, the ETACS-ECU turns ON the rear 
wiper drive signal for three seconds (approxi-
mately two cycles), then 7.4 seconds later the 
intermittent motion operates every eight seconds. 
If the selector lever is moved to the "R" position 
when the rear wiper and washer switch is turned 
to the "INT" position and the ignition switch is at 
the "ACC" or "ON" position, the inhibitor switch 

"R" turns ON. One second later, the ETACS-ECU 
turns ON the rear wiper drive signal for three sec-
onds (approximately two cycles). Then, 7.4 sec-
onds later, the intermittent motion of eight 
seconds' cycle is restored.

Rear Washer Operation

• If the rear wiper and washer switch is turned to 

the ON (washer) position with the ignition switch 
at the "ACC" or "ON" position, the rear washer 
ON signal is sent to the ETACS-ECU, causing the 
rear wiper signal to turn on after 0.3 second. After 
the rear washer switch signal turns off, the rear 
wiper signal turns off in three seconds. If the rear 
washer switch is turned to the ON position while 
the rear wiper is in intermittent mode, the rear 
washer works for that period when the washer 
switch remains on. Then the rear wipers return to 
the intermittent mode.
