8906 or equivalent to wipe the door molding/garnish surface.

CAUTION

Do not remove all of the residual adhesive.

3. Remove only a small portion of the residual adhesive.

CAUTION

•

Always apply it evenly on the entire surface, because a
lot or little will reduce its strength.

•

Do not touch the painted surface.

4. Affix the specified double-sided tape to the door molding/

garnish. (Refer to

P.51-8

.)

DOOR MOULDING/GARNISH INSTALLATION
1. Tear off the double-sided tape backing paper.

NOTE: If you attach the adhesive tape to the edge of the
backing paper, if will be easy to tear off.

2. Install the door molding/garnish.

NOTE: If the double-sided tape is difficult to affix in cold
temperature, etc., warm the bonding surfaces of the body
and the door molding/garnish to about 40 - 60

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

OPERATION
WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
Low-speed (and high-speed) Wiper Operation

•

If the wiper switch is turned to the "LO" position
with the ignition switch at the "ACC" or "ON"
position, the column switch sends a low-speed
wiper ON and high-speed wiper OFF signals to
the front-ECU. This turns the wiper signal on and
the wiper speed switching relay off (low-speed),
causing the wipers to operate at low-speed.

•

If the wiper switch is turned to the "HI" position,
the column switch sends a low-speed wiper OFF
and high-speed wiper ON signals to the front-
ECU. This turns both the wiper signal and the
wiper speed switching relay on (high-speed),
causing the wipers to operate at high-speed.

Intermittent wiper operation

•

The ETACS-ECU calculates the wiper operation
interval according to the voltage signal sent from
the column switch. Then the ETACS-ECU sends
a signal to the front-ECU. The front-ECU
determines the wiper operation interval and turns
on the wiper relay signal. This causes the wiper
auto stop relay to turn on. Then the wiper auto
stop relay will turn off after the wipers reach the
park position. This causes the wiper signal relay
and then the wipers to turn off. If the wiper signal
relay remains off for the wiper operation interval,
the relay turns on again, causing the wipers to
operate in intermittent mode.

Mist wiper operation

•

If the wiper switch is turned to the "MIST" position
with the ignition switch at "ACC" or "ON" position,
the mist wiper high-speed operation signal is sent
to the front-ECU. This signal turns on the wiper
speed switching relay, causing the wipers to work
at high-speed while the mist switch is on.

WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER

•

While the mist wiper switch remains turned on
when the intermittent mode is still working, the
wipers work as the mist wiper. However, the
wipers return to the intermittent mode again when
the wiper auto stop signal turns on after the mist
wiper switch is turned off.

Washer-wiper operation

•

If the wiper switch is turned to the "WASHER"
position with the ignition switch at "ACC" or "ON"
position, the washer ON signal is sent to the
front-ECU, causing the wiper signal to turn on
after 0.6 seconds. After the washer switch signal
turns off, the wiper signal turns off in 3 seconds. If
the wiper switch is turned the "WASHER" position
while the wiper is at intermittent mode, the
washer works for that period when the washer
switch remains on. Then the wipers return to the
intermittent mode.

WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER DIAGNOSIS
