Wiper Motor: Testing and Inspection

1. INSPECT FRONT WIPER MOTOR OPERATION





Low Speed:
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 3 and negative (-) lead to terminal 1, and check that the motor operates at low speed.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.





High Speed:
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1, and check that the motor operates at high speed.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.





Stopping at Stop Position:
a. Operate the motor at low speed and stop the motor operation anywhere except at the stop position by disconnecting positive (+) lead from terminal 3.





b. Connect terminal 3 and 5.
c. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 6 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1 and check that the motor stops running at the stop position after the motor operates again.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
