Front Wipers Operate For 10 Seconds, Stop For 20 Seconds, And After Repeating This Operation Five Times, They Become Inoperative

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • When auto stop signal has not varied for 10 seconds or longer while IPDM E/R is operating front wipers, IPDM E/R considers front wipers locked and stops wiper output, which causes this symptom.
  • This status can be checked by using IPDM E/R "DATA MONITOR". Under this condition, "WIP PROT" reads "BLOCK".
  1. CHECK IPDM E/R TO FRONT WIPER MOTOR 

    With CONSULT-II 

    Select "IPDM E/R" with CONSULT-II. With data monitor, confirm that "WIP AUTO STOP" changes from "ACT P" to "STOP P" according to wiper operation.

    Without CONSULT-II 

    GO TO 2.

    OK or NG 

    OK: Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF IPDM E/R ".

    NG: GO TO 2.

  2. IPDM E/R TO FRONT WIPER MOTOR AUTO STOP CIRCUIT INSPECTION 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect IPDM E/R and front wiper motor.
    3. Check continuity between IPDM E/R connector and front wiper motor connector.
