SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) USING SWS MONITOR

54C-210

Inspection Procedure G-2: The windshield wipers does not work when the wiper switch is at "INT",
"WASHER" or "MIST" position. However, the wipers work at low speed when the switch is at "LO" and
"HI" position.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
input and output signal circuits are normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The system may be at fail-safe mode as the SWS
communication line is defective. If the ETACS-ECU
does not receive the ignition switch (ACC) signal due
to an open circuit in the SWS communication lines or
other reasons when the ignition switch is at the ACC
position, the system will enter the fail-safe mode.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the front-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step 1. ECU check by using the SWS monitor.

Check that the power supply and earth lines to the
column switch (column-ECU) and the front-ECU and
the SWS communication lines are normal.

• Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position.

ECUS TO BE CHECKED

• COLUMN ECU

• FRONT ECU

OK: "OK" are displayed for all the items

Q: Are the check result normal?

"OK" are displayed for all the items :

Go to Step 2.

"NG" is displayed on the "COLUMN ECU" menu. :

Refer to Inspection Procedure A-2
"Communication with the column switch
(column-ECU) is not possible

P.54C-56

."

"NG" is displayed on the "FRONT ECU" menu. :

Refer to Inspection Procedure A-4
"Communication with the front-ECU is not
possible

Step 2. Retest the system.

The windshield wiper should now work normally.

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 :

Replace the front-ECU.

Inspection Procedure G-3: The windshield wipers do not stop at the specified park position

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
input and output signal circuits are normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

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

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the windshield wiper motor

• Malfunction of the front-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step 1. Connector check: A-01 windshield wiper
motor connector.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Repair the connector.

Step 2. Check the windshield wiper motor
assembly.

Refer to GROUP 51

− Windshield wiper

P.51-25

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3

NO :

Replace the windshield wiper motor
assembly.

Step 3. Voltage measurement at the A-01
windshield wiper motor connector.

(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

wiring harness side.

(2) Ignition switch: ACC

(3) Check the voltage between the A-01 windshield

wiper motor connector terminal No.3 and body
earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Go to Step 4.
