2013 Dodge and Ram Journey Crew, AWDSECTION Intermittent Wipe Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Dodge Journey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the INTERMITTENT WIPE position of the control sleeve on the control stalk of the multi-function switch is selected, the SCM sends an electronic rear wiper switch  status message to the SAS over the LIN data bus, then the SAS relays an electronic rear wiper switch  request message to the BCM over the CAN data bus, and the BCM directs battery current to the rear wiper motor at fixed delay intervals to enable the rear wiper motor intermittent wipe mode.
