Wiper Motor Blocking Protection

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The wiper park signal is also used by the CJB for blocking protection of the front wiper motor. This feature protects the motor in the event of the wiper operation being obstructed.

If the CJB does not receive a wiper park signal status change for a period of 6 seconds, when the wiper motor is active, the CJB removes the power supply to the motor. The motor will remain disabled until either an alternative motor mode has been selected, or the ignition has been switched off and back on. Should a stall condition be achieved 3 times during a single ignition on, then the wiper relay will remain disabled, regardless of wiper switch positions, for 180 seconds. The CJB will not automatically switch the motor on, to prevent the risk of injury. The wiper switch must be moved off and then on to reactivate the wiper motor. The blocking protection is active in all wiper switch positions and will automatically be reset when the ignition is switched off.
