COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
The windshield wiper motor, the column switch or the 
front-ECU may be defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

•

Malfunction of the windshield wiper motor

•

Malfunction of the column switch

•

Malfunction of the front-ECU

•

Damaged harness wires and connectors

Step 1. Pulse check

Check the input signals below which are related to 
the windshield wiper.

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

Q: Is the check result normal?

All the signals are received normally : 

Go to Step 

2.

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

Refer to inspection procedure N-1 "The

and rear wiper washer switch) signal is not 
received 

P.54B-320

."

Windshield intermittent wiper switch signal is not 
received. : 

Refer to inspection procedure N-6 "The 

column switch (windshield wiper washer 
and rear wiper washer switch) signal is not 
received 

P.54B-320

."

Windshield low-speed wiper switch signal is not 
received. : 

Refer to inspection procedure N-6 "The 

column switch (windshield wiper washer 
and rear wiper washer switch) signal is not 
received 

P.54B-320

."
