Windshield Wiper/Washer System Components
The windshield wiper/washer system consists of the following components:
• | Windshield wiper/washer switch |
Windshield Wiper/Washer System Operation
The windshield wiper motor module controls the accessory voltage supply
circuit used to power the windshield wiper motor and windshield washer pump
during all operating modes. During mist, delay, and low operation, accessory
voltage supplied to the windshield wiper/washer switch is reduced through
one of the internal resistors and supplied to the wiper motor module through
the pulse delay signal circuit. When the windshield washer switch is pressed
the accessory voltage supply to the windshield wiper/washer switch is closed
to the pulse delay signal circuit with no resistor. The delay interval, low
speed operation, and wash mode is determined by the voltage level of the
pulse delay signal circuit to the windshield wiper motor module. During high
speed operation the high speed signal circuit is closed to the accessory voltage
circuit and the pulse delay signal circuit is at the low speed signal voltage
level.
