3. INSPECT INTERMITTENT WIPER OPERATION
(a) Turn the wiper switch to the INT position.
(b) Turn the intermittent time control switch to the FAST posi-
tion.
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
17 and the negative (−) lead to terminal 16.
(d) Connect the positive (+) lead from the voltmeter to termi-
nal 7 and the negative (−) lead to terminal 16, check that
the meter needle indicates battery positive voltage.
(e) After connecting terminal 2 to terminal 17, connect to ter-
minal 16.
(f) Then, check that the voltage rises from 0 V to battery posi-
tive voltage within the times, as shown in the table.
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.

5. INSPECT REAR WIPER RELAY CONTINUITY
(a) Check that no continuity exists between terminals 3 and
4.
(b) Check that continuity exists between terminals 4 and 5.
If continuity is not as specified, replace the relay.
6. INSPECT REAR WIPER RELAY OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
3 and the negative (−) lead to terminal 6.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the voltmeter to termi-
nal 5 and the negative (−) lead to terminal 6, check that
the meter needle indicates 0 volts.
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead from the voltmeter to termi-
nal 4 and the negative (−) lead to terminal 6, check that
the meter needle indicates battery positive voltage.
If operation is not as specified, replace the relay.
7. INSPECT REAR WIPER RELAY INTERMITTENT OP-
ERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
5 and the negative (−) lead to terminal 2 more than 2 se-
conds.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the voltmeter to termi-
nal 4 and the negative (−) lead to terminal 2.

(c) After disconnecting the positive (+) lead from terminal 5
connect it to terminal 3, and than, check that the meter
needle rises from 0 volts to battery positive voltage within
9 to 15 seconds.
If operation is not as specified, replace the relay.
8. INSPECT FRONT WIPER MOTOR OPERATION
(a) Inspect the motor operation at low speed.
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
3 and the negative (−) lead from the battery to terminal 1,
check that the motor operates at low speed.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
(b) Inspect the motor operation at high speed.
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 and the negative (−) lead from the battery to terminal 1,
check that the motor operates at high speed.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
(c) Inspect the motor operation when stopping it.
(1) Operate the motor at low speed and stop the motor
operation anywhere except at the stop position by
disconnecting the positive (+) lead from terminal 3.
(2) Connect terminals 3 and 5.
(3) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to ter-
minal 6 and negative (−) lead from the battery termi-
nal 1, check that the motor stops running at the stop
position after the motor operates again.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.

9. INSPECT REAR WIPER MOTOR OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
4 and the negative (−) lead to the motor body, check that
the motor operates.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
(b) Operate the motor and stop the motor operation any-
where except at the stop position by disconnecting the
positive (+) lead from terminal 4.
(c) Connect terminals 2 and 4.
(d) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative (−) lead to the motor body, check that
the motor stops running at the stop position after the mo-
tor operates again.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
10. INSPECT WASHER MOTOR OPERATION
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 and
the negative (−) lead to terminal 1, check that the motor oper-
ates.
NOTICE:
These tests must be performed quickly (within 20 seconds)
to prevent the coil from burning out.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
