DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

• MB991862: SWS Monitor Kit

STEP 1. Check the input signal by using "FUNCTION
DIAG." menu of the SWS monitor.
Set each switch to the following condition to check input signals
from the windshield intermittent wiper interval adjusting knob:

• Ignition switch: ACC

• Windshield wiper switch: INT

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502. Connect
the DLC harness before connecting the column-ECU har-
ness. Be sure to connect SWS monitor kit MB991862 after
turning on scan tool MB991502.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector

(16-pin).

(2) Connect SWS monitor kit MB991862 to the data link

connector (13-pin).

(3) Operate scan tool MB991502 according to the procedure

below to display "F.WIPER INT."

1. Select "SYSTEM SELECT."
2. Select "SWS."
3. Select "SWS MONITOR."
4. Select "FUNCTION DIAG."
5. Select "WIPER."
6. Select "F.WIPER INT."

changes smoothly when the windshield intermittent wiper
interval adjusting knob is rotated from "SLOW" to "FAST"
positions.

Q: Does the value change within the normal range when

the windshield intermittent wiper interval adjusting
knob is rotated?
YES : Replace the front-ECU. Check that the windshield
