The wiper control column switch is located on the right hand side of the steering column and controls all wiper functions. The wipers only operate with the ignition in the 'On' mode.
The switch comprises 5 switch positions and the intermittent rotary control. The switch positions each complete a combination of ground paths to connections on the CJB. The CJB interprets the selected combination of switches and operates the respective function accordingly.
The rotary potentiometer on the stalk selects 1 of the delay periods for the intermittent wipe function. The delay period is also influenced by vehicle speed (should speed control intermittent wipe mode be configured), using a signal value derived from the ABS module. The selected delay period decreases with an increase in road speed. When a rain sensor is incorporated into the system, the intermittent position also initiates wiper operation controlled by the rain sensor.
For more information on wiper and washer operation refer to the owners handbook.
