Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview





BCM


Fail-safe


FAIL-SAFE CONTROL BY DTC
BCM performs fail-safe control when any DTC are detected.











FAIL-SAFE CONTROL BY RAIN SENSOR MALFUNCTION
BCM detects the light and rain sensor serial link error and the rain sensor malfunction.
BCM controls the following fail-safe when rain sensor has a malfunction.
- Front wiper switch AUTO and sensing rain drop: The condition just before the activation of fail-safe is maintained until the front wiper switch is turned OFF.
- Front wiper switch AUTO and not sensing rain drop: Front wiper is LO operation until the front wiper switch is turned off.

FAIL-SAFE CONTROL OF COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION CAUSED BY LOW

POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE
If voltage of battery power supply lower, BCM maintains combination switch reading to the status when input voltage is less than approximately 9 V.

NOTE:
When voltage of battery power supply is approximately 9 V or more, combination switch reading function returns to normal operation.
