Wiper Activated Headlamp

The Wiper Activated Headlamps function allows the headlamps and park lamps to be activated by the Windshield Wiper Switch. In order for this to occur, the Ignition Switch must be in the RUN position, the Twilight Sentinel must be enabled, and the Windshield Wiper Switch must be activated for approximately 20 seconds. When the windshield wipers are activated for approximately 20 seconds, the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)receives a signal at terminal B9 of connector C2. In response to this input, the IPC sends a request via the Class 2 serial data line to the PZM to activate the headlamps and park lamps.

The Wiper Activated Headlamps feature can be disabled by either turning the Windshield Wiper Switch off, the Twilight Sentinel off, or the Ignition Switch off. If any one of these conditions occur, the Wiper Activated Headlamps feature will be disabled. The Wiper Activated Headlamps feature will override the Daytime Running Lamps, if active.
