REAR WIPER AND WASHER

GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE REAR WIPER AND WASHER

M1549021600072

The following ECUs affect the functions and control
of the rear wiper and washer.

Rear wiper and washer control function

.

Rear wiper control
If the rear wiper switch of the column switch assem-
bly is turned ON with the ignition switch in the ACC
or ON position, the ETACS-ECU will turn the rear
wiper drive signal ON for 3 seconds (approximately 2
operations), and then will carry out intermittent oper-
ation in a 7.4 to 8 seconds cycle.

If the selector lever is moved to the "R" position when
the rear wiper switch of the column switch assembly
is turned ON and the ignition switch is in any position
other than OFF, the transmission range switch "R"
position switch turns ON. One second later, the
ETACS-ECU turns the rear wiper drive signal ON for
3 seconds (approximately 2 operations), to clear the
rear view, and then returns to intermittent operation
at a 7.4 to 8 seconds cycle.

.

Rear washer control
When the ignition switch is at the ACC or ON posi-
tion, if the rear washer switch of the column switch is
turned ON, the ETACS-ECU turns ON the rear
washer relay. The rear wiper drive signal is turned
ON in 0.3 second until 3 seconds after the rear
washer switch goes OFF to operate the rear wiper
continuously.

If the rear wiper is in intermittent operation when the
rear washer switch is turned ON, 7.4 seconds after
the rear wiper drive signal turns OFF, the 8 seconds
cycle intermittent operation will continue.
