  • Washer linked function
  • Manual wiper (INT drive function)
  • Manual wiper (LO [low speed] drive function)
  • Manual wiper (HI [high speed] drive function)

1) Washer linked function

The function is to link the wiper operation when the washer is operated. When the BCM detects the windshield washer switch signal, the wiper motor is driven at a low speed shortly after the washer motor operates.

2) Manual wiper (INT drive function)

The function is to operate the wiper intermittently. When the windshield wiper switch is set to the INT (intermittent) position, the BCM drives the wiper motor at a low speed for only a predetermined period of time at predetermined intervals.

The intermittent time for models with variable intermittent windshield wipers can be adjusted by operating the adjustment ring. Also, the BCM receives a vehicle speed signal from the ECM via the CAN communication circuit. The BCM automatically adjusts the intermittent time according to the vehicle speed based on the received vehicle speed signal.

3) Manual wiper (LO [low speed] drive function)

The function is to operate the wiper at a low speed. When the windshield wiper switch is set to the LO (low speed) position, the BCM turns the front wiper relay ON and the wiper H/L relay OFF and switches the wiper motor drive circuit to the LO side to drive the wiper motor at a low speed.

4) Manual wiper (HI [high speed] drive function)

The function is to operate the wiper at a high speed. When the windshield wiper switch is set to the HI (high speed) position, the BCM turns ON the front wiper relay and wiper H/L relay and switches the wiper motor drive circuit to the HI side to drive the wiper motor at a high speed.

2. Flat blade type (BCM control type: LIN communication)

  • Washer linked function (Washer motor power supply cut function)
  • Manual wiper function

1) Washer linked function (Washer motor power supply cut function)

When the BCM detects that the windshield washer switch is ON, it sends the low speed drive request to the wiper motor. The washer nozzle for the flat blade equipped models is built into the wiper arm. The BCM receives the wiper position angle signal from the wiper motor via the LIN communication circuit. When the wiper arm (washer nozzle) is outside the predetermined range of the angles for washer injection, the BCM controls the washer relay and temporarily cuts the power supply to the washer motor to restrict the washer injection.

2) Manual wiper function

The BCM detects the windshield wiper switch signals. The BCM sends the wiper operation request according to the switch operation to the wiper motor via the LIN communication circuit. The wiper motor controls the wiper according to the wiper operation request received from the BCM.

Note

  • The INT operates as a variable intermittent windshield wiper.
  • If the BCM detects a malfunction in the wiper motor, it controls the redundant circuit and activates the wiper motor as the variable intermittent wiper.

The automatic wiper function is a function that automatically wipes the windshield according to the amount of rainfall. The rain and light sensor (RLS) sends the wiper operation request determined from the raindrop amount to the BCM via the LIN communication circuit. When the following conditions are met, the BCM performs the wiper operation according to the request from the RLS.

  • The windshield wiper switch is in the AUTO position.
  • Error messages are not received from the RLS or wiper motor (flat blade type).
  • The LIN communication circuit is normal.
  • The automatic wiper function is set to Enable.

Also, adjusting the adjustment ring of the windshield wiper switch can change the raindrop detection sensitivity of the RLS. The BCM sends a raindrop detection sensitivity signal to the RLS via the LIN communication circuit.

When the windshield wiper switch is set to the AUTO position while any of the following conditions is met, the BCM operates the wiper motor as a variable intermittent windshield wiper.

  • An RLS malfunction is detected by the BCM.
  • The automatic wiper function is set to Disable with a scan tool or the user customization function of the instrument panel cluster.

Note

  • When the BCM detects an RLS malfunction while the function is operating, the continuous wiper operation is performed with the wiper request received before the malfunction is detected until the ignition switch is turned OFF or the windshield wiper switch is operated from the AUTO position.

1) Splash wiping function

When a rapid increase of raindrops on the windshield due to passing oncoming vehicle , etc., is detected during the automatic wiper function operation, the splash wiping function cancels the automatic wiper operation and drives the wipers at a high speed to wipe off the raindrops. When the RLS detects a rapid increase of the raindrops, it sends the splash wiping request to the BCM. The BCM sends the received splash wiping request to the wiper motor.

The BCM finishes the splash wiping function under the following conditions.

  • There is no splash wiping request from the RLS. (The automatic wiper function is resumed.)
  • The windshield wiper switch is changed from the AUTO position.

8. Blind spot indicator function

<High version only>

The BCM receives the control information from the right and left radar sensor units via the CAN communication circuit.
When the BCM receives the lighting or flashing request of the blind spot indicator from either right or left radar sensor unit, the BCM illuminates or flashes the blind spot indicator on the requested side using the PWM control.
Also, when the illumination conditions for the clearance light are met, the BCM reduces the brightness of the blind spot indicator.

9. Rear defogger control function

When the rear defogger switch is pressed while the ignition switch is ON, the rear defogger relay is driven, the indicator light illuminates, and then the rear defogger activates. When the rear defogger switch is pressed again, the function is deactivated. In addition, even when the rear defogger switch is ON, the function is automatically disabled after operating for approx. 10 minutes.

Rear defogger control circuit

When the BCM detects the rear defogger switch signal, it controls the rear defogger relay.
Depending on the equipped air conditioner system, a part of the rear defogger control differs as shown in the following.

  • The rear defogger relay of models with automatic A/C supplies the voltage to the rear window defogger.
  • The rear defogger relay of models with cooler/heater/manual air conditioner supplies the voltage to the rear window defogger and switch indicator.

When the rear defogger switch is pressed again, the BCM turns OFF the rear defogger relay.
If the rear defogger switch remains ON, the BCM turns OFF the rear defogger relay after 10 minutes.

1) Rain sensor function

The rain sensor operates in the wavelength range of the infrared rays. Whether there are any raindrops or not is determined by illuminating the LED (A) and LED (B) of the sensor and by detecting raindrops with the photo diode (Receiver).

The infrared rays emitted from the LED are reflected by the windshield and enter the photo diode. When there are raindrops on the windshield, the amount of the infrared rays entering the photo diode is decreased because the infrared rays penetrate the windshield through the raindrops on the windshield and reach the outside of the vehicle. As the amount of raindrops increases, the amount of infrared rays entering the photo diode decreases.

The following diagram shows the determination flow of the wiper speed.

2) Light sensor function

The light sensor operates in the wavelength ranges of visible lights and infrared rays. The light outside the vehicle is detected by 3 photo diodes (FW/IR/AL) on the sensor. The 3 photo diodes measure independently of each other.

Diode FW (ForWard): This is used to measure the light in the moving direction of the vehicle. This photo diode reacts with visible light.

Diode IR (Infra Red): This is used to measure the ambient light perpendicularly directing to the vehicle windshield. This photo diode reacts with infrared light.

Diode AL (Ambient Light): This is used to measure the ambient light above the vehicle. This photo diode reacts with visible light.

The relations between the head light and each diode are as follows.
