The Rain Sensor Control Module (RSCM) is the primary component of the automatic wiper system. See Fig 1. The RSCM is secured with two screws and nuts to a bracket located under the instrument panel above the throttle pedal within the passenger compartment. The rectangular molded plastic housing of the RSCM has an integral mounting tab on each side and an integral connector receptacle on one end, which contains the module terminal pins. These terminal pins connect the RSCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wiring. Concealed and protected within the RSCM housing is the electronic circuitry of the module.

The RSCM cannot be repaired and, if damaged or faulty, the entire module must be replaced.
