1. The windshield washer tank assembly should be installed

and the windshield washer tank should be filled with water
when checking the washer motor.

2. Check that water is sprayed out strongly when battery

positive voltage is applied to terminal (1) and terminal (2) is
grounded.

Measure the resistance value between terminal numbers 3
and 6. The resistance value should rise smoothly from
approximately 0

REAR WIPER AND WASHER

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

M1511000100677

REAR WIPER AND WASHER OPERATION

.

REAR WIPER OPERATION

• If the rear wiper switch of the column switch

assembly is turned ON with the ignition switch in
the ACC or ON position, the ETACS-ECU turns
ON the rear wiper drive signal for three seconds
(approx. two operations). 7.4 seconds later, the
wiper begins the intermittent operation with eight
seconds' cycle. If the selector lever is moved to
the R position when the rear wiper switch of the
column switch assembly is turned ON and the
ignition switch is in any position other than OFF,
transmission range switch (reverse) turns ON.
One second later, the ETACS-ECU turns ON the
rear wiper drive signal for three seconds (approx.
two operations) to clear the rear field of view. 7.4
seconds later, the wiper returns to the intermittent
operation of eight seconds' cycle.

.

REAR WASHER OPERATION

• If the washer switch at the steering column is

placed in the ON position when the ignition switch
is in the ACC or ON position, the rear washer
switch signal to the ETACS-ECU is set to high.
Then the wiper drive signal turns ON 0.3 second
and turns OFF three seconds after the rear
washer switch signal has become low. If the rear
wiper is in intermittent operation when the rear
washer switch is turned ON, the rear wiper again
continues the intermittent operation with eight
seconds' cycle from 7.4 seconds after the rear
wiper drive signal is turned OFF.

REAR WIPER AND WASHER DIAGNOSIS

M1511000700420

The rear wiper and washer are controlled by the Sim-
plified Wiring System (SWS). For troubleshooting,
refer to GROUP 54B, SWS Diagnosis
