Wiper Motor Alternating Park Position Function, Deactivating
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
- Diagnostic Cable
The windshield wiper system is equipped with the Alternating Park Position (APP) function.
The APP function causes the wiper at every second shut off to move upward slightly after reaching the lowest position.
To install the motor crank on the wiper motor, it is necessary to shut off the motor in the lowest park position. This is attained by deactivating the APP function (code Wiper Motor Control Module -J400-).
An activation of APP function is not possible.
APP function is automatically activated after 100 wiping cycles. This applies to wiper motors in which the APP function was deactivated as well as for new wiper motors.
