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. |
