Mist Wipe Mode

When the control knob of the multi-function switch is rotated downward to the momentary MIST position, the SCM sends an electronic wiper mist mode  status message to the TIPM. The TIPM then energizes the low speed brush of the wiper motor for as long as the switch is held closed, then de-energizes the motor when the state of the switch changes to open, parking the wiper blades near the base of the windshield. The TIPM can operate the front wiper motor in this mode for only one low speed cycle at a time, or for an indefinite number of sequential low speed cycles, depending upon how long the switch is held closed.
