Speed Signal Circuit: Description

The windshield wiper relay assembly receives a vehicle speed signal from the combination meter assembly to control the automatic windshield wiper system.

A voltage of 12 V or 5 V is output from the combination meter assembly and then input to the skid control ECU.

A voltage of 12 V or 5 V is output from each ECU or relay and then input to the combination meter assembly.

The signal is changed to a pulse signal at the transistor in the combination meter assembly.

Each ECU controls the respective system based on the pulse signal.

If a short occurs in any of the ECUs or in the wire harness connected to an ECU, all systems in the diagram below will not operate normally.
