FAIL-SAFE CONTROL BY RAIN SENSOR MALFUNCTION

BCM detects the light and rain sensor serial link error and the rain sensor malfunction.

BCM controls the following fail-safe when rain sensor has a malfunction.

FAIL-SAFE CONTROL OF COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION CAUSED BY LOW POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE

If voltage of battery power supply lower, BCM maintains combination switch reading to the status when input voltage is less than approximately 9 V.

NOTE: When voltage of battery power supply is approximately 9 V or more, combination switch reading function returns to normal operation.
