neutral  Tony M: I think by adding 'real', you have changed this to a quite different term, and I doubt that 'real-time clock' is really what the s/t means here.

agree  Tony M: Yes, and now of course the 'smartcard' version; I feel sure this must be what it is referring to, given the wider context. And assuming, of course, that we are indeed talking about commercial vehicles?

"Intermittent Wipers not working
For the past few years, my intermittent wipers have not worked at all. The two other speeds, fast and extremely fast, work perfectly though. I was looking through my factory service manual, and found that the possible causes of the problem are either A) The Time Control Unit (TCU), B) The wiper amp, or C) the wiper switch."
