LIN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - Rain Sensor LIN Communication Malfunction
DESCRIPTION
The LIN communication of the components related to the rain sensor occurs between the rain sensor and windshield wiper ECU.
WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- When using the intelligent tester with the ignition switch off to troubleshoot:
- Connect the intelligent tester to the vehicle, and turn a courtesy switch on and off at 1.5 second intervals until communication between the intelligent tester and vehicle begins.
1.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RAIN SENSOR - WIND SHIELD WIPER ECU AND OVERHEAD JUNCTION BLOCK) |

Disconnect the E85 ECU connector.
Disconnect the R11 sensor connector.
Disconnect the R7 junction block.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
R11-3 (MPX) - E85-7 (MPX1) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
R11-4 (SIG) - R7-29 (IG2) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
R11-1 (ES) - R7-4 (GND2) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
R11-3 (MPX) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
R11-4 (SIG) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
R11-1 (ES) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
Reconnect the R7 junction block connector.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection | Switch Condition | Specified Condition |
R11-4 (SIG) - Body ground | Ignition switch ON | 11 to 14 V |
| REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
|
Temporarily replace the rain sensor with a new one ().
Check the rain sensor function is normal.
- OK:
- Rain sensor function is normal
| REPLACE WINDSHIELD WIPER ECU ()
|
|
|
OK | |
| |
END (RAIN SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE) |
