Circuit Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- The windshield wiper and washer switch sends a signal through the column-ECU (incorporated in the column switch) to the ETACS-ECU. If the column-ECU sends a windshield wiper and washer switch "ON" signal to the ETACS-ECU, the ETACS-ECU turns on the relay (incorporated in the ETACS-ECU), thus causing the windshield wiper and washer motor to be turned on.
- If the LIN communication line is defective, the ETACS-ECU operates windshield wiper motor by using the other communication lines (wiper backup circuit) instead of that line. In this case, the windshield wiper works at low speed regardless of the windshield wiper and washer switch positions ("LO" or "HIGH").
