SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) NOT USING SWS MONITOR

54B-131

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The windshield wiper motor, the column switch or the
front-ECU may be defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the windshield wiper motor

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the front-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step 1. M.U.T.-II/III diagnosis code.
When the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK
(OFF) position, check that the ETACS-ECU does not
set the diagnosis code.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES :

Refer to diagnosis code chart

P.54B-14

.

NO :

Go to Step 2.

Step 2. Pulse check
Check the input signals below which are related to
the windshield wiper.

OK: The M.U.T.-II/III sounds or the voltmeter
needle fluctuates.

Q: Is the check result normal?

All the signals are received normally :

Go to Step

3.

The ignition switch (ACC) signal is not received. :

Refer to inspection procedure L-1 "The
ignition switch (ACC) signal is not received

P.54B-239

."

Windshield mist wiper switch signal is not
received. :

Refer to inspection procedure L-5 "The

column switch (windshield wiper washer
and rear wiper washer switch) signal is not
received

P.54B-249

."

Step 3. Connector check: B-01 windshield wiper
motor connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Repair the connector.

Step 4. Check the windshield wiper motor
assembly.
Refer to GROUP 51

− Windshield wiper

P.51-21

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5

NO :

Replace the windshield wiper motor
assembly.

Step 5. Resistance measurement at the B-01
windshield wiper motor connector

(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

wiring harness side.

(2) Continuity between B-01 windshield wiper motor

connector terminal No.5 and body earth

OK: 2

Ω or less

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 7.

NO :

Go to Step 6.

Step 6. Check the wiring harness between B-01
windshield wiper motor connector terminal No.5
and body earth.

• Check the earth wires for open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The trouble can be an intermittent

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

P.00-5

).

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

Step 7. Connector check: A-11X front-ECU
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 8.

NO :

Repair the connector.

Step 8. Voltage measurement at the A-11X
front-ECU connector

(1) Remove the front-ECU, and measure at the relay

box side.

(2) Ignition switch: ACC

(3) Check the voltage between the A-11X front-ECU

connector terminal No.24 and body earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 10.

NO :

Go to Step 9.

Step 9. Check the wiring harness between A-11X
front-ECU connector terminal No.24 and the
ignition switch (ACC).
