501­16 Wipers and Washers 2015 ­ 2016 Ranger ICA

Description and Operation Procedure revision date: 06/5/2015

Wipers and Washers

NOTICE: The automatic windshield wipers must be switched off before the vehicle is driven into a car wash.

NOTE: The rain sensor is an optical measuring instrument. Contamination such as oil, grease or dust impair its
correct operation. Before switching on the automatic windshield wipers, the windshield must be clean in the area of
the rain sensor.

Item Part Number Description

1 — Windshield washer motor
2 — Windshield washer tank
3 — Windshield wiper motor
4 — Windshield wiper linkage assembly
5 — Windshield washer hose
6 — Rain sensor
7 — Windshield wiper and washer switch
8 — Windshield wiper pivot arm and blade
9 — Windshield washer nozzle

There is a mechanical linkage called the windshield wiper linkage assembly (4) between the windshield wiper motor
(3) and the windshield wiper pivot arms and blades (8).

The rain sensor (6) is integrated in a housing which is mounted behind the rear view mirror on the windshield.

The rain sensor comprises an opto­electronic measuring and evaluation circuit. A gel­type lens is used as the
interface between the rain sensor and the windshield. Depending on the type of rain sensor the gel­type lens can be
replaced separately. The sensor can calculate the amount of precipitation falling on the windshield and request that
the windshield wipers are switched on.

On the basis of the information provided by the rain sensor, the windshield wipers are then set to the required wipe
speed.
The windshield wash/wipe system will only operate if the ignition switch is in the position "I" or "II".

Five wash functions are available: "Off", "Flick­wipe", "Speed 1", "Speed 2" and "Intermittent" or "Automatic wipe"
(depending on the vehicle specification).

In "Speed 1" or "Speed 2" mode, the wipers are operating continuously at either normal speed or fast speed.

When the intermittent wipe mode is switched on the windshield wipers operate at normal speed with the following
wiper delays:

Wiper delay 1: 1 second

Wiper delay 2: 3.5 seconds
Wiper delay 3: 6 seconds
Wiper delay 4: 9,5 seconds
Wiper delay 5: 15.5 seconds
Wiper delay 6: 22 seconds

NOTE: In the event of a failure, or if the control resistor is not connected the default time for the wiper delay is 8
seconds.

The windshield wiper motor contains a 2­speed motor and a wiper run/park circuit. The BCM controls the windshield
wiper motor by activating the windshield wiper on/off and low/high speed relays located within the EJB when the
ignition is on.

The BCM monitors the windshield wiper run/park circuit. Based on the input, the BCM deactivates the windshield
wiper on/off relay to park the wipers on the lower portion of the windshield.

The windshield washer pump is controlled by the BCM. The washer pump delivers washer fluid to the windshield
when the BCM activates the front washer relay located within the BCM, which provides voltage to the washer pump.
Ground for the washer pump is isolated and located in the fender.

When the windshield washer switch is operated washer fluid is sprayed onto the windshield. After a short delay
designed to protect the wiper blades the wipers perform 2 or 3 wipes at low speed.

If when the windshield washer switch is activated the windshield wipers are switched off, then a single wipe is
performed 4 seconds after the wipers have returned to the home position after performing the 2 or 3 wipes.

If when the windshield washer switch is activated the wipers are in intermittent mode, and if the selected wiper delay
time is longer than 6 seconds, then a single wipe is performed 6 seconds after the wipers have returned to the home
position after performing the 2 or 3 wipes. If the selected delay time is less than 6 seconds then no post wipe is
required.

The post wipe function on the windshield ensures that any water remaining on the windshield after washing is wiped
away. It is only required if the wipers are switched off or they are set to intermittent mode.
