Mist Wipe Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-function switch is moved downward to the momentary MIST position, the SCM sends an electronic wiper mist mode  status message to the EMIC, the EMIC relays an electronic wiper mist mode  request message to the TIPM, then the TIPM energizes the low speed brush of the wiper motor for as long as the switch is held closed, then de-energizes the motor when the state of the switch changes to open, parking the wiper blades near the base of the windshield. The TIPM can operate the front wiper motor in this mode for only one low speed cycle at a time, or for an indefinite number of sequential low speed cycles, depending upon how long the switch is held closed.
