INSPECTION PROCEDURE G-2: The windshield wipers does not work when the wiper switch is at "INT", "WASHER" or "MIST" position. However, the wipers work at low speed when the switch is at "LO" and "HI" position.
| CAUTION Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the input and output signal circuits are normal.
| COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM The system may be at fail-safe mode as the SWS communication line is defective. If the ETACS-ECU does not receive the ignition switch (ACC) signal due to an open circuit in the SWS communication lines or other reasons when the ignition switch is at the ACC position, the system will enter the fail-safe mode.
| POSSIBLE CAUSES Malfunction of the column switch Malfunction of the front-ECU Damaged harness wires and connectors
| DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
| Step 1. ECU check by using the SWS monitor Check that the power supply and earth lines to the column switch (column-ECU) and the front-ECU and the SWS communication lines are normal. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position. ECUS TO BE CHECKED COLUMN ECU FRONT ECU OK: "OK" are displayed for all the items Q: Is the check result normal? "OK" are displayed for all the items: Go to Step 2. "NG" is displayed on the "COLUMN ECU" menu.: Refer to Inspection Procedure A-2 "Communication with column switch (column-ECU) is not possible ." "NG" is displayed on the "FRONT ECU" menu.: Refer to Inspection Procedure A-4 "Communication with front-ECU is not possible ."
| Step 2. Retest the system. The windshield wiper should now work normally. Q: Is the check result normal? YES: The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ). NO: Replace the front-ECU.
