Windshield Wiper Intermittent Function

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: On vehicles without rain/light sensor, only the intermittent function is available. Rain/light sensor equipped vehicles the intermittent function can be selected using the IC (Instrument Cluster) menu to disable the autowipers function.

When the driver moves the wipers and washers control switch to the intermittent wipe position, the BCM/GWM assembly detects a LIN bus message and energizes the wiper on/off relay in the left EJB . The windshield wiper motor will operate at slow speed until the wiper on/off relay is de-energized, removing the power to the windshield wiper motor.

The BCM/GWM assembly monitors the LIN bus signal from the windshield wiper intermittent switch simultaneously. Depending on the intermittent switch position, the BCM/GWM assembly will operate the windshield wipers for one single wipe. After a time period relating to the adjustment switch position, the BCM/GWM assembly will repeat the process until the driver selects wipers off on the wipers and washers control switch or a different windshield wiper selection is made.
