The windshield wiper ECU receives the HI position signal of the wiper switch to operate the wiper motor at HI speed. Even if the ECU malfunctions, its circuit structure enables it to operate the wiper in HI operation mode.
When the wiper switch is in any position other than "OFF" and the blades are frozen, a malfunction is detected by the cowl side junction block LH and the wiper operation is stopped.
