INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Start the inspection from step 1 when using the intelligent tester, and start from step 2 when not using the intelligent tester.


1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER
  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the intelligent tester's main switch ON.

  1. Select the item below in the ACTIVE TEST and then check that the relay operates.

    -
    WIPER MOT (LO)
    Front wiper motor LO operation ON / OFF
    -



NG
Go to step 2
OK

2. INSPECT FUSE
  1. Inspect the AM1, FR WIP and INP J/B fuses.

    1. Measure the resistance between each terminal.

      Standard resistance:
      Below 1 Ω



NG
CHECK FOR SHORT IN ALL HARNESS AND COMPONENTS CONNECTED FAILURE FUSE
OK


3. INSPECT WINDSHIELD WIPER RELAY ASSEMBLY

  1. I036782E01
    Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard voltage:
    Tester Connection
    Condition
    Specified Condition
    +1 - Body ground
    Ignition switch ON, Windshield wiper switch OFF → LO
    Below 1 V → 10 to 14 V
    +2 - Body ground
    Ignition switch ON, Windshield wiper switch OFF → HI
    Below 1 V → 10 to 14 V
    +SM - Body ground
    Ignition switch ON, Windshield wiper in automatic stop position → any position other than automatic stop position
    Below 1 V → 10 to 14 V



NG
Go to step 4
OK
