GENERAL DESCRIPTION

M1511000100257

OPERATION
Low-speed (and high-speed) wiper operation

• When the wiper switch is placed in the "LOW" 

position with the ignition switch in the "ACC" or 
"ON" position, wipers operate continuously at low 
speed.

• Placing the wiper switch in the "HIGH" position 

causes the wipers to operate at high speed.

Auto wiper stop operation

• When the wiper switch is placed in the "OFF" 

position, the cam contacts of wiper motor causes 
current to flow through the auto wiper stop circuit, 
allowing the wiper blades to cycle before they 
reach to the stop positions.

Intermittent wiper operation

• When the wiper switch is placed in the "INTER-

MITTENT" position with the ignition switch in the 
"ACC" or "ON" position, the intermittent wiper 
relay is energized causing the intermittent wiper 
relay contacts to close and open repeatedly. 

• When the contacts are closed, the wiper motor is 

energized.

• When the wiper motor is energized, the relay 

contacts open; however, the cam contacts keep 
the wiper motor energized until the wiper blades 
return to their stop position.

Washer-wiper operation

• When the washer switch is turned "ON," the  

intermittent wiper relay contacts close causing 
wipers to cycle one to two times.

INTERMITTENT WIPER RELAY (INTERMITTENT 
OPERATION INSPECTION)

1. Connect the column switch connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to "ACC." 
3. Inspect the intermittent operation time when the wiper switch 

is turned to "INTERMITTENT."

Vehicle with variable intermittent control
FAST: Approximately 2 seconds
SLOW: Approximately 15 seconds

FRONT WIPER MOTOR CHECK

Check the wiper motor after disconnecting the wiring harness 
connector, and with the wiper motor remaining installed to the 
body.

.

WIPER MOTOR AT LOW-SPEED AND HIGH-SPEED 
OPERATION
Connect a battery to the wiper motor as shown in the illustra-
tion and inspect motor operation at low-speed and high-speed.

.

WIPER MOTOR AT STOP POSITION OPERATION
1. Run the wiper motor at low-speed, disconnect the battery, 

and stop the motor.

2. Reconnect the battery as shown in the illustration, and 

confirm that after the motor starts turning at low-speed, and 
stops at the automatic stop position.

FRONT WASHER MOTOR CHECK

1. The windshield washer tank assembly should be installed 

and the windshield washer tank should be filled with water 
when checking the washer motor.

2. Check that water is sprayed out strongly when battery 

voltage is applied to terminal (1) and terminal (2) is 
grounded.
