Rear Wiper and Washer

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

REAR WIPER AND WASHER OPERATION

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 turns ON the rear wiper drive signal for three seconds (approximately two cycles), then 7.4 seconds later the intermittent motion operates every eight seconds. If the selector lever is moved to the "R" position when the rear wiper and washer switch is turned to the "INT" position and the ignition switch is at the "ACC" or "ON" position, the park/neutral position switch "R" turns ON. One second later, the ETACS-ECU turns ON the rear wiper drive signal for three seconds (approximately two cycles). Then, 7.4 seconds later, the intermittent operation (eight second cycles) is restored.

REAR WASHER OPERATION
- If the rear wiper and washer switch is turned to the ON (washer) position with the ignition switch at the "ACC" or "ON" position, the rear washer ON signal is sent to the ETACS-ECU, causing the rear wiper signal to turn on after 0.3 seconds. After the rear washer switch signal turns off, the rear wiper signal turns off in three seconds. If the rear washer switch is turned to the ON position while the rear wiper is in intermittent mode, the rear washer works for that period when the washer switch remains on. Then the rear wiper returns to the intermittent mode.
