Front Wiper and Washer System (With Rain Sensor)





SYSTEM


FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM (WITH RAIN SENSOR) : Fail-safe


IPDM E/R
When CAN communication with ECM and BCM is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control. After CAN communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.

If No CAN Communication Is Available With BCM






IPDM E/R
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop position by a front wiper stop position signal.
When a front wiper stop position signal is in the conditions listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper after repeating a front wiper 10 seconds activation and 20 seconds stop five times.





BCM
BCM detects the rain sensor serial link error and the rain sensor malfunction.
BCM controls the following fail-safe when rain sensor has a malfunction.

Fail-safe Control
- Front wiper control
- Front wiper switch AUTO and sensing rain drop: The condition just before the activation of fail-safe is maintained until the front wiper switch is turned OFF.
- Front wiper switch AUTO and not sensing rain drop: Front wiper is LO operation until the front wiper switch is turned off.

BCM detects the light and rain sensor serial link error and the light and rain sensor malfunction.
BCM controls the following fail-safe when light and rain sensor has a malfunction.

Fail-safe Control
- Front wiper control
- Front wiper switch AUTO and sensing rain drop: The condition just before the activation of fail-safe is maintained until the front wiper switch is turned OFF.
- Front wiper switch AUTO and not sensing rain drop: Front wiper is LO operation until the front wiper switch is turned off.
