WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM OPERATION


BUE091900000N03

The wiper system has six different operation modes: off mode, low-speed mode, high-speed mode, interval mode, one-touch wiper mode, and wash mode.

Off Mode

There is no windshield wiper motor activity, and the windshield wiper motor is in the PARK position.

Low-Speed Mode

The windshield wiper motor is set to a low-speed setting. The wiper/washer switch provides voltage to the windshield wiper motor through the low-speed circuit. The windshield wiper motor provides ground through a dedicated ground circuit.

High-speed mode

The windshield wiper motor is set to a high-speed setting. The wiper/washer switch provides voltage to the windshield wiper motor through the high-speed circuit. The windshield wiper motor provides ground through a dedicated ground circuit.

Interval Mode

The windshield wiper motor is set to a low-speed setting. The windshield wiper interval relay is activated at the beginning of each wipe and deactivated when the windshield wiper motor park switch reaches the run position. The interval relay is integrated in the wiper/washer switch.

When the wiper/washer switch is in the interval (INT) position, the windshield wipers will make a single sweep followed by a pause.

One-Touch Wiper Mode

If the wiper/washer switch are held between 0.1-0.3 s with the mode switch in the off position, the wiper system will provide one low-speed wipe with no wash.

Wash Mode

To engage the windshield washer, pull the wiper/washer switch toward the steering wheel. When the wiper/washer switch is in the OFF or INT position, the windshield wiper/washer will run as long as the lever is pulled. When the knob is released, the washer will stop immediately, but the windshield wipers will continue to run for two to three sweeps, then return to the OFF position.
