Rain Sensor Indicator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and 2015 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

B+ voltage is supplied to the Rain Sensor. Whenever the ignition is ON, or accessory positions, the body control module (BCM), sends the turn signal/multifunction switch status by using data communication. When a wipe cycle is needed, the Rain Sensor sends a data communication message to the BCM, requesting the wiper operation. The BCM commands the Windshield Wiper Motor wipe cycles. If at anytime a fault occurs between the Rain Sensor and BCM, the BCM will use the inputs from the turn signal/multifunction switch in the delay positions to operate the Windshield Wiper Motor at continuous variable delay intervals.
