.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The rear wiper switch sends a signal through the

column-ECU (incorporated in the column switch)
to the ETACS-ECU. If the column-ECU sends a
rear wiper switch "ON" signal to the ETACS-ECU,
the ETACS-ECU turns on the relay (incorporated
in the ETACS-ECU), thus causing the rear wiper
motor to be turned on.

• The ETACS-ECU operates the rear wiper accord-

ing to the following switches:

• Ignition switch (ACC)

• Rear wiper switch

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the rear wiper does not work normally, the input cir-
cuit system from the switches, the rear wiper motor,
the column switch (windshield wiper and windshield
washer switch) or the ETACS-ECU may be defective
(refer to "CIRCUIT OPERATION").

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• The rear wiper motor may be defective

• The column switch may be defective (windshield

wiper and washer switch)

• The ETACS-ECU may be defective

• The wiring harness may be damaged or the con-

nectors may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, pushed back in the connector
