Inspection Procedure G-5: The intermittent wiper interval can not be adjusted by operating the
windshield intermittent wiper volume control.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
input and output signal circuits are normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The column switch or the front-ECU may be
defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the front-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step 1. Pulse check
Check the input signals below which are related to
the windshield intermittent wiper function.

OK: The MUT-III sounds or the voltmeter
needle fluctuates.

Q: Are the check result normal?

All the signals are received normally. :

Go to Step

The ignition switch (IG1) signal is not received. :

Refer to inspection procedure Q-1 "The
ignition switch (ACC) signal is not received

P.54B-416

The windshield wiper volume signal is not
received. :

Refer to inspection procedure Q-8 "The

windshield wiper volume signal is not
received

P.54B-440

Step 2. Retest the system.
Check that the windshield intermittent wiper interval
can be adjusted by operating the windshield
intermittent wiper volume control.

OK: The intermittent wiper interval is
changed as the intermittent wiper volume is
rotated.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The trouble can be an intermittent

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

NO :

Replace the front-ECU

Inspection Procedure G-6: The intermittent wiper interval is not changed according to the vehicle
speed.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
input and output signal circuits are normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The ETACS-ECU calculates the intermittent wiper
interval according to the vehicle speed signal which
is sent by the engine-ECU.
If the intermittent wiper interval does not depend on
the vehicle speed, the input circuit of the vehicle
speed signal and the ETACS-ECU may be defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the vehicle speed signal

(engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> or engine-ECU <M/T>)

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step 1. Check the operation by operating the
intermittent wiper volume.
Check that the windshield intermittent wiper interval
can be adjusted by operating the windshield
intermittent wiper volume control.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Refer to Inspection Procedure G-5 "The
intermittent wiper interval can not be
adjusted by operating the windshield
intermittent wiper volume control

P.54B-223

Step 2. Pulse check
Check the input signals below which are related to
the vehicle speed-dependent intermittent wiper.

OK: The MUT-III sounds or the voltmeter
needle fluctuates.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Refer to inspection procedure Q-25 "The
vehicle speed signal is not received
