Abstract
When an ECUfor wiper motor detects that a SP operation has been carried out in the midst of swinging motion of a wiper blade, the ECUfor wiper motor outputs a motor stopping signal to an ECUfor washer pump. When the ECUfor washer pump receives the motor stopping signal, the ECUfor washer pump stops a washer pumpeven if an injection switch for jetting out washer fluid is on. In this manner, when a wiper blade is stopped from being swung for replacement of the wiper member, the pump for causing washer fluid to jet out is stopped. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the waste of washer fluid, and to further save washer fluid.
