WINDSHIELD LOW-SPEED (AND HIGH-SPEED) WIPER OPERATION
- If the windshield low-speed wiper switch is turned to the ON position with the ignition switch at the "ACC" or "ON" position, the column switch sends a low-speed wiper ON and high-speed wiper OFF signals to the front-ECU. This turns the wiper signal on and the wiper speed control relay off (low-speed), causing the wipers to operate at low-speed.
- If the windshield high-speed wiper switch is turned to the ON position, the column switch sends a low-speed wiper OFF and high-speed wiper ON signals to the front-ECU. This turns both the wiper signal and the wiper speed control relay on (high-speed), causing the wipers to operate at high-speed.
Note. The windshield wiper speed is adjustable with the built-in wiper speed control relay. High-speed operation takes place when the wiper speed control relay is set to "ON". Low-speed operation takes place when the wiper speed control relay is set to "OFF".
WINDSHIELD INTERMITTENT WIPER OPERATION (VEHICLE SPEED-SENSITIVE VARIABLE TYPE)
ETACS-ECU uses the dial position of the variable intermittent wiper control switch and the vehicle speed signal sent by the combination meter to calculate the interval to be sent to the front-ECU.
The front-ECU determines the intermittent time from the input SWS data signal, and turns ON the windshield wiper drive signal. When the wiper is at the STOP position, the windshield wiper auto-stop signal goes OFF, then turn OFF the windshield wiper drive signal. After the intermittent time from when the windshield wiper drive signal turned ON, the windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON again and the above operation is repeated.
Note. If the intermittent time is within 2 seconds, the wiper is operated consecutively at LOW-speed by the front-ECU.
WINDSHIELD MIST WIPER OPERATION
- If the windshield mist wiper switch is turned to the ON position with the ignition switch at the "ACC" or "ON" position, the mist wiper high-speed operation signal is sent to the front-ECU. This signal turns on the wiper speed control relay, causing the wipers to work at high-speed while the mist switch is on.
- While the windshield mist wiper switch remains turned on when the intermittent mode is still working, the wipers work as the mist wiper. However, the wipers return to the intermittent mode again when the switch is changed back to "INT" position.
- To prevent the windshield mist wiper from operating when the windshield wiper switch is turned OFF, the windshield mist wiper does not work for 0.5 second after the windshield intermittent wiper switch, the windshield low-speed wiper switch and the windshield high-speed wiper switch are turned OFF.
WINDSHIELD WASHER OPERATION
- If the windshield washer switch is turned to the ON position with the ignition switch at "ACC" or "ON" position, the windshield washer ON signal is sent to the front-ECU. After 0.15 second, the windshield wiper signal turns on. After the windshield washer switch signal turns off, the windshield wiper signal turns off in 2 seconds.
- If the windshield washer switch is turned on while the windshield wiper is at intermittent mode, and the windshield washer switch is turned OFF within 0.2 second, the wiper works only once to perform mist operation. When the windshield washer switch is turned on for more than 0.2 second, the wiper performs the same movement as normal condition from the time when 0.2 second has elapsed, and then returns to intermittent operation.
Windshield Wiper Motor at Low or High Speed Operation
Connect the battery to the windshield wiper motor to inspect the operation of motor rotation at low or high speed.
Scheme 4
Scheme 5
- Connect the battery to the windshield wiper motor as shown in the illustration (A).
- Run the windshield wiper motor at low speed, then disconnect the battery in the middle of the motor rotation and check to see that the motor stops.
- As shown in the illustration (B), connect the terminals of the windshield wiper motor connector.
- Check to see that the windshield wiper motor runs at low speed and then stops at the automatic stop position.
REAR WIPER OPERATION
- If the rear wiper and washer switch is turned to the "INT" position with the ignition switch at "ACC" or "ON" position, the ETACS-ECU causes the rear wiper to operate continuously 2 times, then intermittently at 8-second intervals.
- If the selector lever (or gearshift lever) is moved to the "R" position when the rear wiper and washer switch is turned to the "INT" position and the ignition switch at "ACC" or "ON" position, the transmission range switch (or backup light switch) "R" turns ON. 1 second later, the ETACS-ECU causes the rear wiper to operate continuously 2 times to ensure good rearward visibility. The ETACS-ECU then causes the rear wiper to operate intermittently again at 8-second intervals.
REAR WASHER OPERATION
- If the rear wiper and washer switch is turned to the ON (washer) position with the ignition switch at "ACC" or "ON" position, the rear washer ON signal is sent to the ETACS-ECU, causing the rear wiper signal to turn on after 0.9 second. After the rear washer switch signal turns off, the rear wiper signal turns off in 3 seconds.
- If the rear wiper and washer switch is turned to the ON (washer) position while the rear wiper is at intermittent mode, the rear washer works for that period when the washer switch remains on. Then the rear wiper returns to the intermittent mode.
CHECK OF REAR WIPER OPERATION WHEN SELECTOR LEVER (OR GEARSHIFT LEVER) IS AT "R" POSITION
- When the selector lever (or gearshift lever) is moved to the "R" position with the rear wiper switch at the "INT" position, the wiper should operate 2 to 3 times at low speed after approximately 1 second.
- If not, carry out troubleshooting. Refer to «SYMPTOM CHART»(ref-308263-S16536086792009020200000) .
Scheme 6
Note. For removal and installation of the wiper and washer switch, refer to SYMPTOM CHART .
Note. For removal and installation of the washer tank assembly and rear washer motor, refer to WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER .
WIPER MOTOR OPERATION
Connect the battery to the rear wiper motor as shown in figure (A) and check the motor operation.
Scheme 7
- Connect the battery to the rear wiper motor as shown in figure (A).
- Disconnect the battery cable from the rear wiper motor while it is turning and then check to see that the motor stops.
- Reconnect the battery as shown in figure (B).
- Check to see that the rear wiper motor runs and then stops at the automatic stop position.
Scheme 8
- Remove the rear washer tank assembly with the washer hose attached. Then fill the washer tank with water.
- Check to see that the water is vigorously sprayed when connecting the positive battery terminal to terminal number 2 and terminal number 1 to ground.
Scheme 9
Move the nozzle to adjust the position so that washer fluid is sprayed in the area shown in the illustration.
Remote Controlled Mirror Operation
- The mirror on the door mirror moves up/down and left/right by operating the remote controlled door mirror switch when the ignition switch is at the "ON" or "ACC" position.
Heated Door Mirror Operation
- The rear window defogger relay switch is activated (ON) by turning on the A/C-ECU built-in rear window defogger switch when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. When the rear window defogger relay is turned ON, power is supplied to the rear window defogger and door mirror, and the heater of the door mirror (heated door mirror) starts operations. The rear window defogger comes with a timer function and will automatically turn OFF the switch approximately 17 minutes after the rear window defogger switch is turned ON. The heated door mirror operations are also terminated along with the rear window defogger, at this time.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
If both of the door mirror heaters do not operate normally it may be due to a malfunction in the rear window defogger system.
Scheme 10
If either of the heated door mirrors do not operate normally, it may be due to malfunctions in the heated door mirror circuit or door mirror.
