NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

Description

INFOID:0000000010430989

FRONT WIPER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION

• IPDM E/R may stop the front wiper to protect the front wiper motor if any obstruction (operation resistance)

such as a large amount of snow is detected during the front wiper operation.

• At that time turn OFF the front wiper and remove the foreign object. Then reactivate the front wiper. The

wiper will operate normally.

REAR WIPER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION

• BCM may stop rear wiper to protect the rear wiper motor when the rear wiper is stopped for 5 seconds or

more due to a snowfall.

• Rear wiper operates normally 1 minute after the obstacles are removed with rear wiper OFF.

FRONT WIPER DOES NOT OPERATE

Description

INFOID:0000000010430990

The front wiper does not operate under any operation conditions.

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000010430991

1.

CHECK WIPER RELAY OPERATION

CONSULT ACTIVE TEST

1.

Select “FRONT WIPER” of IPDM E/R active test item.

2.

With operating the test item, check front wiper operation.

Is front wiper operation normally?

YES

>> GO TO 4.

NO

>> GO TO 2.

2.

CHECK FRONT WIPER MOTOR FUSE

1.

Turn ignition switch OFF.

2.

Check that the following fuse is not fusing.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 3.

NO

>> Replace the fuse after repairing the applicable circuit.

3.

CHECK FRONT WIPER MOTOR GROUND CIRCUIT 

Check front wiper motor ground circuit. Refer to 

WW-53, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 4.

NO

>> Repair or replace harness.

4.

CHECK FRONT WIPER REQUEST SIGNAL INPUT

CONSULT DATA MONITOR

1.

Select “FR WIP REQ” of IPDM E/R data monitor item.

2.

Switch the front wiper switch to HI and LO.

3.

With operating the front wiper switch, check the status of “FR WIP REQ”.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to 

PCS-67, "Removal and Installation"

.

NO

>> GO TO 5.

5.

CHECK COMBINATION SWITCH

Perform the inspection of the combination switch. Refer to 

BCS-130, "Symptom Table"

.

Is combination switch normal?

LOW

: Front wiper LO operation

HIGH

: Front wiper HI operation

OFF

: Stop the front wiper.
