Component Inspection

Check BCM
1. Connect scantool to Data Link Connector (DLC).
2. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF" & wiper "AUTO"
3. Measure waveform between terminal "C3" of BCM and chassis ground.

Specification : Refer the specifications in fig.2)








Fig.2) The Signal waveform of BCM output signal (BCM to Rainsensor)
4. Is the measured waveform within specifications?





Check Rainsensor
1. Connect scantool to Data Link Connector (DLC).
2. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF" & wiper "AUTO".
3. Measure waveform between terminal "4" of rainsensor and chassis ground while sprinkling water on front window glass.

Specification : Duty cycle > 66.7% ± 3%

FIG.3) Duty cycle of rainsensor as a function of sensor mode.
4. Is the measured waveform within specifications?
** Duty cycle value will be fixed at 95.2% ± 3%, if fault 3 is detected.
