SUNROOF
SUNROOF TIMER FUNCTION
The ETACS-ECU enables opening and closing of the sunroof for 30 seconds after the ignition is switched off. During this timed operation, if the driver's door or passenger's door is opened, the sunroof timer function is deactivated from that moment.
WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
The following ECUs affect the functions and control of the windshield wiper and washer.
WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
INTERMITTENT CONTROL (VEHICLE SPEED-DEPENDENT VARIABLE TYPE)
ETACS-ECU uses the dial position of the variable intermittent wiper control switch and the vehicle speed signal sent by the combination meter to calculate the interval to be sent to the front-ECU.
The front-ECU determines the intermittent time T1 from the input SWS data signal, and turns ON the windshield wiper drive signal. When the wiper is at the STOP position, the windshield wiper auto-stop signal goes OFF then turn OFF the windshield wiper drive signal. After the intermittent time T1 seconds from when the windshield wiper drive signal turned ON, the windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON again and the above operation is repeated.
NOTE: If the intermittent time T1 is within 2 seconds, the wiper is operated consecutively at LOW-speed by the front-ECU.
Mist wiper control
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position, and the windshield mist wiper switch of the column switch is turned ON, the front-ECU turns ON the windshield wiper drive signal. At the same time, the wiper speed switching relay is turned ON (HIGH-SPEED). While the windshield mist wiper switch is ON, the windshield wiper will operate at high speed. Then, if the windshield mist wiper switch is turned off, the wiper operates at low speed until it stops at the predetermined park position.
When the windshield mist switch is turned on briefly, the wiper operates once at low speed. At the point the windshield mist switch is turned ON, if the windshield wiper has been operating intermittently, the same operations as the above will be performed while the windshield mist wiper switch is ON. After the windshield mist wiper switch goes OFF, the intermittent operations will be set again T1 seconds after the last windshield wiper auto-stop signal turning ON.
Low-speed wiper, high-speed wiper control
When the ignition switch in at the ACC or ON position, and the windshield low-speed wiper switch of the column switch is turned ON, the front-ECU turns ON the windshield wiper drive signal, turns OFF (LOW) the windshield wiper speed relay, and operates the windshield wiper at low-speed. Next, when the windshield high speed wiper switch is turned ON, the windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON, the windshield wiper speed switching relay is turned ON (HIGH), and the windshield wiper is operated at high-speed.
Washer control
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position, and the windshield washer switch of the column switch is turned ON, the front-ECU turns ON the windshield washer relay. The windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON after 0.15 second until 2 seconds after the windshield washer switch goes OFF to operate the windshield wiper continuously. When the windshield washer switch is turned ON, if the windshield wiper is operating intermittently, intermittent operation will resume after two or three wipes.
NOTE: The wiper drive signal output time varies according to the conditions. Refer to the following table for details.
REAR WIPER AND WASHER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE REAR WIPER AND WASHER The following ECUs affect the functions and control of the rear wiper and washer.
