TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS1. Wipers do not operate. Washer does not operate either
- Check multi-purpose fuse No. 9.
- Check the ground.
2. Low-speed (or high-speed) wiper only does not operate.
- Check the wiper switch.
3. Wipers do not stop.
- Check the wiper motor.
- Check the intermittent wiper relay.
- Check the wiper switch.
4. Intermittent wiper does not operate.
- Check the terminal voltage of the steering-column switch (with built-in intermittent wiper relay) while the intermittent wiper relay is energized.
Terminal to be checked: 8
- When the voltage is 0 V, check intermittent wiper relay or wiper switch.
- When the voltage is battery voltage, check intermittent wiper relay.
- When 0 V and battery voltage alternate, intermittent wiper relay and wiper switch are normal.
5. The length of pause for intermittent operation cannot be varied.
- Check the variable intermittent wiper control switch.
- Check the intermittent wiper relay.
