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 causes the rear wiper to operate continuously two times, then intermittently at eight-second intervals.

If the selector lever is moved to the "R" position when the rear wiper and washer switch is turned the "INT" position and the ignition switch at "ACC" or "ON" position, park/neutral position switch "R" turns ON. One second later, the ETACS-ECU causes the rear wiper to operate two times continuously to ensure good rearward visibility. The ETACS-ECU then causes the rear wiper to again operate intermittently at eight-second intervals.

Rear Washer Operation
If the rear wiper and washer switch is turned the "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 seconds. After the rear washer switch signal turns off, the rear wiper signal turns off in three seconds.

If the rear wiper and washer switch is turned to the "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 wipers return to the intermittent mode.
