I-1: The headlamp washer does not work.
|
|  CAUTION
Whenever the ECU is replaced,
ensure that the input and output signal circuits are normal.
|
| |
| COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
The headlamp washer motor, the column switch or the front-ECU may be defective.
|
| POSSIBLE CAUSES
- Malfunction of the headlamp washer motor
- Malfunction of the column switch
- Malfunction of the front-ECU
- Damaged harness wires and connectors
|

| |
| Step 1. MUT-II/III diagnosis code.
When the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK (OFF) position, check that the ETACS-ECU
does not set the diagnosis code.
Q: Is the diagnosis code set?
YES:
Refer to diagnosis code chart  .
NO:
Go to Step 2  .
|
|
Check the input signals below which are related to the windshield wiper.
System switch
|
Check condition
|
Ignition switch (ACC)
|
When turned from the LOCK (OFF) position to the ACC position.
|
Headlamp washer switch
|
When the switch is turned from off to on.
|
OK: The MUT-II/III sounds or the voltmeter needle fluctuates.
Q: Is the check result normal?
All the signals are received normally:
Go to Step 3  .
The ignition switch (ACC) signal is not received.:
Refer to Inspection Procedure P-1 "The ignition switch (ACC) signal is not received  ."
Headlamp washer switch signal is not received.:
Refer to Inspection Procedure P-5 "The column switch (windshield wiper/washer
and rear wiper/washer switch) signal is not received  ."
|
| Step 3. Connector check: A-25 headlamp washer motor connector
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:
Go to Step 4  .
NO:
Repair the connector.
|
| Step 4. Check the headlamp washer motor assembly.
Refer to GROUP 51 -
Headlamp washer  .
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:
Go to Step 5
NO:
Replace the headlamp washer motor.
|
| Step 5. Measure the resistance at the A-25 headlamp washer motor connector.
- Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
- Continuity between A-25 headlamp washer motor connector terminal No.2 and body
earth
OK: 2Ω
or less
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:
Go to Step 7  .
NO:
Go to Step 6  .
|
| Step 6. Check the wiring harness between A-25 headlamp washer motor
connector terminal No.2 and body earth.
- Check the earth wires for open circuit.
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:
Repair the wiring harness.
|
| Step 7. Connector check: A-11X front-ECU connector
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:
Go to Step 8  .
NO:
Repair the connector.
|
| Step 8. Measure the voltage at the A-11X front-ECU connector.
- Remove the front-ECU, and measure at the junction block side.
- Ignition switch: ACC
- Check the voltage between the A-11X front-ECU connector terminal No.3 and body
earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:
Go to Step 10  .
NO:
Go to Step 9  .
|
| Step 9. Check the wiring harness between A-11X front-ECU connector
terminal No.3 and the fusible link (5).
- Check the power supply line from the fusible link (5) for open circuit.
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:
Repair the wiring harness.
|
| Step 10. Check the wiring harness between A-25 headlamp washer motor
connector terminal No.1 and A-11X front-ECU connector terminal No.1.
- Check the output line to headlamp washer motor for open circuit.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:
Go to Step 11  .
NO:
Repair the wiring harness.
|
| Step 11. Retest the system.
The headlamp washer 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.
