Fault finding – Function

Windscreen washing/wiping

The UCH receives the wiper speed, windscreen wiper park and windscreen washing-wiping information.
This provides the following functions:
– intermittent wiper speed,
– extended wiper time after washing,
– return to park position.
In the park position, the switch is closed to earth, and the UCH receives logical information 0.

This function is only active if + after ignition feed is present.

When the + after ignition feed is switched on, if the windscreen wiper park position is not detected, the wiper motor
relay is held.

Operation is interrupted in the following cases:

– wiper request stopped or no request,
– + after ignition switched off,
– UCH reads park information.

Detection of the park position should be made on transition and not level, that is, if the wiper stalk is moved from the
intermittent position to the park position while the wiper blade is in the park position and the wiper motor is running,
it will not be stopped until the next reading of the park position. This condition is necessary in order to obtain an exact
park position.

Intermittent
The intermittent wiper speed function is only active if the + after ignition is present and if the switch is in the
intermittent position.
The time delay between two wipes is 5 seconds, and this cannot be modified by the diagnostic tool.

When the windscreen intermittent speed function is activated, the windscreen intermittent speed relay is held by the
UCH until the park position is detected. When the intermittent speed time delay has elapsed, the relay is held again
and the cycle begins again.

Extended wiper time after washing

The UCH does not manage the windscreen washer pump control, it only processes the incoming windscreen washer
command to provide screen wiping and the extended wiper time after washing.

This function is only active if + after ignition is present.

After the washer pump is activated, the first wiping is performed after a time delay of 750 ms.

When the washing control is pressed briefly, the windscreen wiper performs 1 wiping cycle.

When the washing control is pressed for longer, the UCH activates the windscreen wiper throughout the washing
phase. At the end of the washing phase, the UCH counts the status changes of the park position in order to stop the
extended wiping phase.
