Signal Information

The vehicle signal Vehicle.Body.Windshield.Front.Wiping is a Branch.

UUID

Each vehicle signal is identified by a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID)

The UUID for Vehicle.Body.Windshield.Front.Wiping is 2cffeccdc19a587cbe2264f426c6881a

Children

This vehicle signal is a branch or structure and thus has sub-pages:

  • Vehicle.Body.Windshield.Front.Wiping.Intensity (Relative intensity/sensitivity for interval and rain sensor mode as requested by user/driver. Has no significance if Windshield.Wiping.Mode is OFF/SLOW/MEDIUM/FAST 0 - wipers inactive. 1 - minimum intensity (lowest frequency/sensitivity, longest interval). 2/3/4/… - higher intensity (higher frequency/sensitivity, shorter interval). Maximum value supported is vehicle specific.)
  • Vehicle.Body.Windshield.Front.Wiping.IsWipersWorn (Wiper wear status. True = Worn, Replacement recommended or required. False = Not Worn.)
  • Vehicle.Body.Windshield.Front.Wiping.Mode (Wiper mode requested by user/driver. INTERVAL indicates intermittent wiping, with fixed time interval between each wipe. RAIN_SENSOR indicates intermittent wiping based on rain intensity.)
  • Vehicle.Body.Windshield.Front.Wiping.System (Signals to control behavior of wipers in detail. By default VSS expects only one instance.)
  • Vehicle.Body.Windshield.Front.Wiping.WiperWear (Wiper wear as percent. 0 = No Wear. 100 = Worn. Replacement required. Method for calculating or estimating wiper wear is vehicle specific. For windshields with multiple wipers the wear reported shall correspond to the most worn wiper.)
