4. FUNCTIONS OF RAIN SENSOR
The followings are the detailed description of the functions and operations of the rain sensing
wiper control.
1) Windshield Glass and Coupler Attachment
Check the outer windshield surface of sensing area for wear, damage and scratch. The sensor is
able to compensate the wear up to a specific level. Check the coupler attached surface of
windshield for porosity. If the porosity exists, the sensor cannot function properly.
- If the installed wiper brushes are out of specification (size and length), the rain sensing area
cannot be fully wiped. In this case, the rain sensor's sensitivity could be decreased and the
wipers are not properly operated
2) Recognition of AUTO Mode
When the engine is started with the wiper switch "AUTO" position, the wiper operates one cycle
1.
to remind a driver that the wiper switch is in "AUTO" position.
When the wiper switch is turned to "AUTO" from OFF, the wiper operates one cycle. It always
2.
operates one cycle for the initial operation, however, the wiper does not operate afterwards to
prevent the wiper blade wear if not raining when turning the wiper switch to "AUTO" from
"OFF". However, the wiper operates up to 5 minutes after rain stops.
3. If this function does not occur, check No. 2 terminal on the rain sensor. If any defective cannot
be found, check the wiper relay (LOW) for defective.
As described, the STICS recognizes the wiper switch "AUTO" position. If there are not any
-
problem, go to diagnosis mode in STICS and check the terminal that receives signal from
wiper and communication lines between rain sensor unit and STICS.
3) Instant Wipe Function
When the variable resistance knob on the multifunction wiper switch is turned by each 1 stage
from low sensitivity (Smark) to high sensitivity (F mark), the wiper operates one cycle.
And, the wiper also operates during raining up to 5 minutes after rain stops.
- When the variable resistance knob is rotated by 4 stage from 0 stage without stoping, the
wiper operates one cycle. The wiper operates one cycle when changing the wiping stage (0
→ 1, 1 → 2, 2 → 3).
