INSPECTION PROCEDURE G-7: Windshield Wiper and Washer: The windshield washer does not
work.
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires use
of Diagnostic Tool MB991958 and SWS monitor kit
MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS mon-
itor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The windshield washer switch sends a signal
through the column-ECU (incorporated in the column
switch) to the front-ECU. If the column-ECU sends a
windshield washer switch "ON" signal to the
front-ECU, the front-ECU turns on the relay (incorpo-
rated in the front-ECU), thus causing the windshield
washer motor to be turned on.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the windshield washer does not work normally, the
windshield washer motor, the column switch (wind-
shield wiper and washer switch) or the front-ECU
may be defective.

WASH.SW" and "FRONT ECU ACK"?
Normal conditions displayed for all the items : Go to
St e p 4 .
Normal condition is not displayed for the "FRONT
WASH.SW" : Replace the column switch. Verify that the
windshield washer works normally.
Normal condition is not displayed for the "FRONT ECU
ACK" : Replace the front-ECU. Verify that the windshield
washer works normally.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE H-1: Headlamp and Taillamp: The taillamps do not illuminate normally.
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires the
use of Diagnostic Tool MB991958 and SWS monitor
kit MB991813. For details on how to connect the
SWS monitor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
When the lighting switch is set to "TAIL" position, the
"TAIL" signal is sent through the column-ECU (incor-
porated in the column switch) to the front-ECU. If the
front-ECU receives the "TAIL" signal through the col-
umn-ECU, the front-ECU turns on the taillamp relay
(incorporated in the front-ECU), thus causing the
taillamps to illuminate.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the taillamps do not illuminate normally, the column
switch or the front-ECU may be defective.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between front-ECU
connector A-11X (terminal 7) and the battery.
Q: Is the wiring harness between front-ECU connector
A-11X (terminal 7) and the battery in good condition?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the
connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that
the taillamps illuminate normally.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE H-2: Headlamp and Taillamp: The headlamps (low-beam) do not illuminate
normally.
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires the
use of Diagnostic Tool MB991958 and SWS monitor
kit MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS
monitor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
When the lighting switch is set to "HEAD" posi-
tion, the "HEAD" signal is sent through the col-
umn-ECU (incorporated in the column switch) to
the front-ECU. If the front-ECU receives the
"HEAD" signal through the column-ECU, the
front-ECU turns on the headlamp relay (incorpo-
rated in the front-ECU), thus causing the
headlamps to illuminate. The headlamps always
illuminate at low-beam by the headlamp dimmer
switch automatic resetting function.
If the SWS communication line is defective, the
front-ECU operates the headlamps by using the
other communication lines (headlamp backup cir-
cuit) instead of that line.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the headlamps (low-beam) do not illuminate nor-
mally, the column switch or the front-ECU may be
defective.

use of Diagnostic Tool MB991958 and SWS monitor
kit MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS
monitor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
When the dimmer switch is turned on, the column
switch sends a signal to the front-ECU. Then the
front-ECU switches the headlamps from low-beam to
high beam or vice versa.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the headlamps (high beam) do not illuminate nor-
mally, the column switch or the front-ECU may be
defective.
