WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
EXTERIOR51-22
SERVICE SPECIFICATIONM1511000300325
TROUBLESHOOTINGM1511000700323
The windshield wiper and washer are controlled by
the Smart Wiring System (SWS). For
troubleshooting, refer to GROUP 54B,
Troubleshooting P.54B-17 or GROUP 54C,
Troubleshooting P.54C-4.
NOTE: Even when the ETACS-ECU has failed, the
windshield wiper can work at low speed as fail-safe
mode. (Normally, the windshield wiper operates
when the ignition switch is at the "ACC" position. But,
if it enters the fail-safe mode, the wiper can operate
only when the ignition switch is at the "ON" position.)

WINDSHIELD INTERMITTENT WIPER
INSPECTION
1. If the windshield intermittent wiper interval
adjusting knob is operated, the wiper interval
should change.
2. Holding the windshield intermittent wiper interval
adjusting knob, input the simulated vehicle speed
with MUT-II MB991502 and check that the wiper
interval changes as the vehicle speed changes.
3. If not, carry out the troubleshooting (Refer to
GROUP 54B, Troubleshooting P.54B-17 or
GROUP 54C, Troubleshooting P.54C-4). ItemStandard value

REAR WIPER AND WASHER
GENERAL INFORMATIONM1511000100525
REAR WIPER AND WASHER OPERATION
Rear Wiper Operation
•If the rear wiper and washer switch is turned to
"INT" position with the ignition switch at "ACC" or
"ON" position, the ETACS-ECU turns ON the rear
wiper drive signal for three seconds
(approximately two cycles), then 7.4 seconds
later the intermittent motion operates every eight
seconds. If the selector lever is moved to the "R"
position when the rear wiper and washer switch is
turned to the "INT" position and the ignition
switch is at the "ACC" or "ON" position, the inhibitor switch "R" turns ON. One second later,
the ETACS-ECU turns ON the rear wiper drive
signal for three seconds (approximately two
cycles). Then, 7.4 seconds later, the intermittent
motion of eight seconds' cycle is restored.
Rear Washer Operation
•If the rear wiper and washer switch is turned to
the ON (washer) position with the ignition switch
at the "ACC" or "ON" position, the rear washer
ON signal is sent to the ETACS-ECU, causing the
rear wiper signal to turn on after 0.3 second. After
the rear washer switch signal turns off, the rear
wiper signal turns off in three seconds. If the rear
washer switch is turned to the ON position while
the rear wiper is in intermittent mode, the rear
washer works for that period when the washer
switch remains on. Then the rear wipers return to
the intermittent mode.
SERVICE SPECIFICATIONM1511000300336

CHECK OF REAR WIPER OPERATION
WHEN SELECTOR LEVER IS AT THE "R"
POSITION
1. When the selector lever is moved to the "R"
position with the rear wiper switch at the "INT"
position, the wiper should operate twice or three
times at low speed after approximately one
second.
2. If not, carry out the troubleshooting (Refer to
GROUP 54B, Troubleshooting P.54B-17 or
