Abstract
A vehicle wiper device and vehicle wiper device control method are provided that are capable of changing a position of a wiping range of a wiper arm in a manner that is less distracting. When a switch for an enlarged wiping operation has been switched ON, a microcomputerperforms control to change the position of a wiping range by starting rotation of an output shaft of a second motorin a predetermined direction when a rotation angle of an output shaft of a first motorhas reached an angle corresponding to a position within a predetermined range in the vicinity of one out of a upper return position PP or a lower return position PP. Accordingly, when a front passenger seat side wiper bladechanges direction at either the upper return position PP or the lower return position PP, a front passenger seat side wiper armbegins to extend, and the position of a wiping range of the front passenger seat side wiper bladeis moved upward on a front passenger seat side.
