9. INSPECT REAR WIPER MOTOR OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
4 and the negative (−) lead to the motor body, check that
the motor operates.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
(b) Operate the motor and stop the motor operation any-
where except at the stop position by disconnecting the
positive (+) lead from terminal 4.
(c) Connect terminals 2 and 4.
(d) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative (−) lead to the motor body, check that
the motor stops running at the stop position after the mo-
tor operates again.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
10. INSPECT WASHER MOTOR OPERATION
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 and
the negative (−) lead to terminal 1, check that the motor oper-
ates.
NOTICE:
These tests must be performed quickly (within 20 seconds)
to prevent the coil from burning out.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.

5. 3 Door models:
INSPECT ONE TOUCH POWER WINDOW SYSTEM
(a) Using an ammeter, inspect the system.
(1) Disconnect the connector from the master switch.
(2) Connect the positive (+) lead from the ammeter to
terminal 3 on the wire harness side connector and
the negative (−) lead to the negative (−) terminal of
the battery.
(3) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to ter-
minal 4 on the wire harness side connector.
(4) As the window goes down, check that the current
flow is approximately 7 amperes.
(5) Check that the current increases up to approxi-
mately 14.5 amperes or more when the window
stops going down.
HINT:
The circuit breaker opens some 4 − 40 seconds after the win-
dow stops going down, so that check must be made before the
circuit breaker operates.
If the operation is not as specified, replace the master switch.
(b) Using an ammeter with a current measurement probe, in-
spect the system.
(1) Remove the master switch with connector con-
nected.
(2) Attach a current−measuring probe to terminal 3 of
the wire harness.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and set the power win-
dow switch in the down position.

the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 10.9 − 13.9 A
(d) Reconnect the cooling fan connector.
4. INSPECT NO.2 COOLING FAN
(a) Disconnect the cooling fan connector.
(b) Connect battery and ammeter to the cooling fan connec-
tor.
