FRONT WIPER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R may stop the front wiper to protect the front wiper motor if any obstruction (operation resistance) such as a large amount of snow is detected during the front wiper operation.
At that time turn the front wiper OFF and remove the foreign object. Then wait for approximately 20 seconds or more and reactivate the front wiper. The wiper will operate normally.
REAR WIPER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
BCM may stop the rear wiper to protect the rear wiper motor when the rear wiper is stopped for 5 seconds or more due to a snowfall.
The rear wiper operates normally one minute after the obstacles are removed with the rear wiper OFF.
