Kia Rio: Rain Sensor Inspection
Rain Sensing Wiper
| 1. |
In IGN2 ON state, if auto switch input (LIN communication) is
ON then both wiper low relay and wiper high relay outputs are controlled
by the rain sensor input signal.
|
| 2. |
If the wiper switch has been left in automatic mode with the vehicle
ignition OFF, and then the vehicle ignition switch is turned on, a single
wipe will be performed.
|
| 3. |
A single wipe will be performed whenever rain has been detected
(Rain Detected signal from Rain sensor) and the wiper switch is moved
to the AUTO position. But a single wipe will not be performed when the
wiper switch is moved to the AUTO position and OFF signal is being received
from Rain sensor. But if the wiper switch is moved to AUTO position
for the first time since vehicle ignition switch is turned on then a
single wipe will be performed regardless of Rain Detected or OFF signal.

The drive may adjust the rain sensor performance by adjusting
the sensitivity input. When in automatic mode, the BCM will perform
a single wipe each time the sensitivity is adjusted upward to a more
sensitive setting (downward more then one step). This single wipe will
only be performed if Rain Detected signal is being received from the
Rain sensor. If the sensitivity adjustment is adjusted upward more than
one sensitivity, the BCM will only perform a single wipe unless the
time between Increases is more than 2 seconds.

Fault strategy for the rain sensor
Rain Sensor Fault 1 - Internal Fault Detected
This failure is detected when the wiper is in automatic mode and
the input faulty rain sensor from the rain sensor has a duty cycle corresponding
to Fault 1. The confirmation delay for the failure is of 1 sec.
When this failure is detected, the wiper outputs are OFF and the
wiper will also do a wipe in slow speed on the transition from sensitivity
3 to sensitivity 2 (Step 2 to 3) in order to signal the presence of
this fault. If another sensitivity is set, the wiper won’t make any
additional wipe.
Rain Sensor Fault 2 - Glass Attachment Fault Detected
This failure is detected when the wiper is in automatic mode and
the input faulty rain sensor from the rain sensor has a duty cycle corresponding
to Fault 2. The confirmation delay for the failure is of 1 s.
When this failure is detected, the wiper outputs are OFF and the
wiper will also do a wipe on the transition from sensitivity 4 to sensitivity
3 (Step 1 to 2) in order to signal the presence of this fault. If another
sensitivity is set, the wiper won’t make any additional wipe.
Rain Sensor Fault 3 - No Input Signal Present
This failure is detected when the wiper is in automatic mode and
the input faulty rain sensor from the rain sensor has a duty cycle corresponding
to Fault 3 or in case the duty cycle of the input faulty rain sensor
is 0% or 100%. The confirmation delay for the failure is of 1 s.
When this failure is detected, the wiper outputs are OFF.
