Speed Dependent Wipers

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If equipped, the speed dependent feature increases the frequency of wiping to compensate for the extra moisture that accumulates on the windshield as the vehicle speed increases. This feature activates when the multifunction switch is in any intermittent setting except the INT 1 position. As vehicle speed increases, the speed dependent feature gradually shortens the delay between wipes. The SCCM receives Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) information from the Body Control Module (BCM) through the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). The SCCM sends the VSS information to the wiper motor through the LIN.
