CIRCUIT OPERATION
The windshield washer switch sends a signal through
the column-ECU (incorporated in the column switch)
to the ETACS-ECU. If the column-ECU sends a
windshield washer switch "ON" signal to the ETACS-
ECU, the ETACS-ECU turns on the relay
(incorporated in the ETACS-ECU), thus causing the
washer motor to be turned on.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the windshield washer does not work normally, the
washer motor, the column switch (windshield wiper

and washer switch) or the ETACS-ECU may be
defective.
