Front Wiper Motor Protection Function

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Infiniti EX35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

IPDM E/R may stop the front wiper to protect the front wiper motor if any obstruction (operation resistance) such as a large amount of snow is detected during the front wiper operation.
At that time turn OFF the front wiper and remove the foreign object. Then wait for approximately 20 seconds or more and reactivate the front wiper. The wiper will operate normally.
