Operating Modes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The components of the wiper and washer system are designed to work in concert to provide the following operating modes:
- Continuous Wipe Mode -The two-speed wiper motor and the internal circuitry of the multi-function switch work in concert to provide two continuous wipe cycles, low speed or high speed.
- Intermittent Wipe Mode -The internal circuitry of the multi-function switch, the CTM, and the wiper relay work in concert to provide an intermittent wipe mode with multiple delay interval selections. The CTM also automatically adjusts each manually selected delay interval to compensate for vehicle speed.
- Washer Mode -When the washer system is activated with the multi-function switch while the wiper system is operating, washer fluid will be dispensed onto the windshield glass through the washer nozzles for as long as the washer pump/motor is energized.
- Wipe-After-Wash Mode -The internal circuitry of the CTM provides a wipe-after-wash feature which, if the wipers are turned Off, will operate the washer pump/motor and the wipers for as long as the washer system is activated, then provide several additional wipe cycles after the washer system is deactivated before parking the wiper blades near the base of the windshield.
