FUNCTIONS AND CONTROL OF SWS ECUS
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)
54B-12
Low speed wiper and high speed wiper control
When the ignition switch is at the ACC or ON posi-
tion, if 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 (LO) the
windshield wiper speed relay, and operates the wind-
shield 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 (HI), and the
windshield wiper is operated at high speed.
.
Washer control
When the ignition switch is at the ACC or ON posi-
tion, if 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 in 0.3 seconds until three sec-
onds after the windshield washer switch goes OFF to
operate the windshield wiper continuously. When the
windshield washer switch is turned ON, if the wind-
shield wiper is operating intermittently, intermittent
operations will be continued after continuous opera-
tion.
NOTE: The wiper drive signal output time varies
according to the conditions. Refer to the following
table for details.
