INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:

When using the Techstream with the engine switch off to troubleshoot:

Connect the Techstream to the vehicle, and turn a courtesy switch on and off at 1.5 second intervals until communication between the Techstream and vehicle begins.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RAIN SENSOR - WINDSHIELD WIPER ECU AND OVERHEAD JUNCTION BLOCK)



(a) Disconnect the E90 ECU connector.

(b) Disconnect the R11 sensor connector.

(c) Disconnect the R7 and R12 junction block connectors.

(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

R11-3 (MPX) - E90-7 (MPX1)

Always

Below 1 Ω

R11-4 (SIG) - R7-8 (IG2)

Always

Below 1 Ω

R11-1 (ES) - R12-19 (GND2)

Always

Below 1 Ω

R11-3 (MPX) - Body ground

Always

10 kΩ or higher

R11-4 (SIG) - Body ground

Always

10 kΩ or higher

R11-1 (ES) - Body ground

Always

10 kΩ or higher

(e) Reconnect the R7 and R12 junction block connectors.

(f) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection

Switch Condition

Specified Condition

R11-4 (SIG) - Body ground

Engine switch on (IG)

11 to 14 V

OK

2.

REPLACE RAIN SENSOR

(a) Temporarily replace the rain sensor with a new one WIPER / WASHER: RAIN SENSOR: REMOVAL (2008 LX570) .

(b) Check the rain sensor function is normal.

OK:

Rain sensor function is normal

OK
