Wiper System

The wiper system provides the driver with normal wipe (low and high speeds), intermittent wiper, wipe after wash, and pulse wipe functions. The driver selects the wiper function via a resistive multiplexed stalk switch mounted on the steering column. This value is then received by the BCM, which then determines the wiper motor output speed and frequency.

Pulse Wipe - When the wiper is in the off position and the driver presses the wash button for more than 62 msec but less than 1/2 second, 1 wipe cycle in low speed mode will be provided.

Wipe After Wash Mode - When the driver presses the wash button for over 1/2 second and then releases it, the wiper will continue to run for 2 additional wipe cycles.
