Lexus ES: Wiper Switch Signal Mismatch between LIN and Line (B1372)

DESCRIPTION

Under normal operation, the windshield wiper motor assembly receives operation signals from the windshield wiper switch assembly via LIN communication.

The windshield wiper motor assembly and windshield wiper switch assembly are also connected via direct line in order to operate the front wipers in HI in an emergency. If the operation signals sent via LIN communication and direct line do not match, this DTC is stored.
