Windshield wiper and washer

Intermittent control (the initial condition: with function)

ETACS-ECU calculates the intermittent time TI from
the vehicle speed calculated from the windshield
intermittent wiper volume of the column switch and
the vehicle speed signals (engine-ECU), and sends it
to the front ECU as SWS data.

NOTE: The vehicle speed sensing function can be
invalidated by the adjustment function.

The front ECU determines the intermittent time TI
from the input SWS data, and turns ON the
windshield wiper drive signal. When the wiper comes
to the stop position, the windshield wiper auto-stop
signal is turned OFF, and the windshield wiper drive
signal turns OFF.

When the intermittent time TI is elapsed after being
turned ON the windshield wiper drive signal, the
windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON again, and
the above-mentioned operation is repeated.

Mist wiper control

When the windshield wiper mist switch of the column
switch is turned ON while the ignition switch is ACC
or ON, the column switch turns ON the windshield
wiper drive signal. At the same time, the wiper speed
switching relay turns to ON (HI). When the
windshield mist wiper switch is ON, the windshield
wiper operates at the high speed.

Low speed wiper and high speed wiper control

When the windshield low speed wiper switch of the
column switch is turned ON while the ignition switch
is ACC or ON, the column switch turns ON the
windshield wiper drive signal. Also, the wiper speed
switching relay turns to OFF (LO), and the windshield
wiper operates at the low speed.

When the windshield high speed wiper switch is
turned ON, the windshield wiper drive signal turns
ON. Also, the wiper speed switching relay turns ON
(HI), and the windshield wiper operates at the high
speed.

54B-7

Windshield wiper linked with washer function

•

When the front-ECU receives a windshield
washer switch signal from the column switch with
the ignition switch in the ACC or the ON position,
the ECU turns on the windshield washer relay.
When the windshield washer relay becomes ON,
the windshield washer motor starts to run to
spray the washer fluid in the washer tank onto the
windshield through the washer nozzles. When
the windshield washer switch signal remains on
for 0.3 seconds or more, the signal turns on the
windshield wiper relay (The wiper interval

depends. For details, see the list) to operate the
windshield wiper at high speed. Turning off the
windshield washer switch causes the front-ECU
to turn off the windshield wiper relay "T" seconds
later, thus operating the wiper to the auto stop
position at low speed.

•

When the windshield washer switch is turned ON
during the intermittent operation of the windshield
wiper, the windshield wiper switches to
continuous operation and then resumes
intermittent operation.

Rear wiper and washer

Rear wiper control [the initial condition: 8 seconds (without successive operations)]

1. When the rear wiper switch on the column switch

is turned ON with the ignition switch at the ACC
or ON position, ETACS-ECU turns ON the rear
wiper drive signal for 3 seconds (approximately 2
operations) and performs the intermittent action
at 8-second intervals.

When the shift lever <M/T> or selector lever <A/T> is

moved to R position during the rear wiper
operation, the back-up lamp switch <M/T> or
inhibitor switch R position <A/T> turns ON one
second after that, ETACS-ECU sends the rear
wiper drive signal for 3 seconds (approximately 2
operations), and operates the intermittent action
in 8 seconds interval.

2. By the special operation of the rear wiper switch

on the column switch (successive 2-time
operations), the rear wiper operates continuously
regardless of the set intermittent time.

NOTE: The rear wiper intermittent time can be
adjusted or canceled for continuous operation by the
adjustment function.
