2. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2 individually.

Is there battery voltage?

YES

The IG1 FR WIPER wires are OK. Go to step 9.

NO

Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.

9. Open wire check (FR WIPER HI/LO RLY COM line):

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

Is there continuity?

YES

The FR WIPER HI/LO RLY COM wire is OK. Go to step 10.

NO

Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.

10.Open wire check (GND line):

Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

Is there continuity?

YES

GND wire is OK. Go to step 19.

NO

Repair an open or high resistance in the ground wire or poor ground (G301).

11.Fuse check:

Check the following fuses.

Is each fuse OK?

YES

Go to step 12.

NO

Replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again, repair the short to ground in the No. B5 (30 A) and/or No. C31 (10 A) fuse circuit(s).

12.Windshield wiper motor relay check:

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
2. Remove the windshield wiper motor relay from the auxiliary under-hood relay box A, and test it.

Is the relay OK?

YES

Go to step 13.

NO

Replace the windshield wiper motor relay, then recheck.

13.Open wire check (+B WIPER line):

Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

Is there battery voltage?

YES

The +B WIPER wire is OK. Go to step 14.

NO

Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.

14.Open wire check (IG1 RELAY COIL line):

1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
2. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

Is there battery voltage?

YES

The IG1 RELAY COIL wire is OK. Go to step 15.

NO

Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.

15.Windshield wiper intermittent relay check:

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
2. Remove the windshield wiper intermittent relay from the auxiliary under-hood relay box A, and test it.

Is the relay OK?

YES

Go to step 16.

NO

Replace the windshield wiper intermittent relay, then recheck.

16.Windshield wiper high/low relay check:

Remove the windshield wiper high/low relay from the auxiliary under-hood relay box A, and test it.

Is the relay OK?

YES

Go to step 17.

NO

Replace the windshield wiper high/low relay, then recheck.

17.Open wire check (FR WIPER MAIN RLY OUT lines):

Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2 individually.

Is there continuity?

YES

The FR WIPER MAIN RLY OUT wires are OK. Go to step 18.

NO

Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.

18.Open wire check (GND line):

Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
