Measure the resistance of the switch.
- Standard resistance:
- Windshield wiper switch
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition B-3 (+1) - B-2 (+B) MIST Below 1 Ω B-3 (+1) - B-1 (+S) OFF Below 1 Ω B-3 (+1) - B-1 (+S) INT Below 1 Ω B-3 (+1) - B-2 (+B) LO Below 1 Ω B-4 (+2) - B-2 (+B) HI Below 1 Ω
- Windshield washer switch:
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition A-3 (WF) - A-2 (EW) OFF 10 kΩ or higher A-3 (WF) - A-2 (EW) ON Below 1 Ω
- Rear wiper and washer switch:
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition A-2 (EW) - B-5 (WR) WASH (Rear wiper switch ON position side) Below 1 Ω A-2 (EW) - B-5 (WR) OFF 10 kΩ or higher A-7 (+1R) - B-5 (WR) OFF 10 kΩ or higher A- 2 (EW) - A-7 (+1R) OFF 10 kΩ or higher A- 2 (EW) - A-7 (+1R) ON Below 1 Ω A-2 (EW) - B-5 (WR) WASH (Rear wiper switch ON position side) Below 1 Ω A-7 (+1R) - B-5 (WR) WASH (Rear wiper switch ON position side) Below 1 Ω A- 2 (EW) - A-7 (+1R) WASH (Rear wiper switch ON position side) Below 1 Ω
Check the intermittent operation.
Connect the voltmeter's positive (+) lead to terminal B-3 (+1) and the negative (-) lead to terminal A-2 (EW).
Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to terminal B-2 (+B) and the negative (-) lead to terminals A-2 (EW) and B-1 (+S).
Turn the wiper switch to the INT position.
Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to terminal B-1 (+S) for 5 seconds.
Connect the battery's negative (-) lead to terminal B-1 (+S). Operate the intermittent wiper relay and check the voltage between terminals B-3 (+1) and A-2 (EW).
- OK:
- Refer to illustration below.
If the result is not as specified, replace the switch assembly.
Check the washer operation.
Turn the wiper switch OFF.
Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to terminal B-2 (+B) and the negative (-) lead to terminals B-1 (+S) and A-2 (EW).
Connect the voltmeter's positive (+) lead to terminal B-3 (+1) and the negative (-) lead to terminal A-2 (EW).
Turn the washer switch ON and OFF, and check the voltage between terminals B-3 (+1) and A-2 (EW).
- OK:
- Refer to illustration below.
If the result is not as specified, replace the switch assembly.
