Rear Wiper and Washer

GENERAL INFORMATION

REAR WIPER AND WASHER

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.
