• 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
(Wiper and washer switch)

Refer to 

WW-4, "System Diagram"

.

Combination meter

Transmits the vehicle speed signal to BCM with CAN communication.

Front wiper motor

• Drives windshield wipers in HI or LO mode.
• Sends wiper stop signal to IPDM E/R.

Front washer motor

Pumps windshield washer fluid to windshield in wash mode.

AUTO ACTIVE TEST

Description

In auto active test mode, the IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the following systems to check their operation.

• Oil pressure low warning indicator

• Oil pressure gauge (if equipped)

• Rear window defogger (if equipped)

• Front wipers

• Tail, license and parking lamps

• Front fog lamps (if equipped)

• Headlamps (Hi, Lo)

• A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)

• Cooling fan (if equipped)

Operation Procedure

1. Close the hood and front door RH, and lift the wiper arms from the windshield (to prevent windshield dam-

age due to wiper operation).

NOTE:

When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield before hand.

2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON and, within 20 seconds, press the front door switch LH 10 times. Then turn the

ignition switch OFF.

4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. After that the horn sounds once and the auto active test

starts.

5. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:

When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway through test, turn ignition switch OFF.

CAUTION:

• If auto active test mode cannot be actuated, check door switch system. Refer to 

DLK-27, "KING CAB

: Description"

 (king cab) or 

DLK-29, "CREW CAB : Description"

 (crew cab).

• Do not start the engine.

Inspection in Auto Active Test Mode

When auto active test mode is actuated, the following 7 steps are repeated 3 times.
