Trouble Diagnoses
Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery is fully charged. A 30-volt voltmeter and
suitable test probes are necessary for the test. The alternator can be checked easily by referring to the
Inspection Table.
lBefore starting, inspect the fusible link.
lUse fully charged battery.

System Description
WIPER OPERATION
The wiper switch is controlled by a lever built into the combination switch.
There are two or three wiper switch positions:
lLO speed
lHI speed
lINT (Intermittent wiper models only)
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
lthrough 20A fuse (No.16, located in the fuse block)
lto wiper motor terminalV4.
Low and high speed wiper operation
Ground is supplied to wiper switch terminal
V17through body groundsM1andM54.
When the wiper switch is placed in the LO position, ground is supplied
lthrough terminalV14of the wiper switch
lto wiper motor terminalV2.
With power and ground supplied, the wiper motor operates at low speed.
When the wiper switch is placed in the HI position, ground is supplied
lthrough terminalV16of the wiper switch
lto wiper motor terminalV3.
With power and ground supplied, the wiper motor operates at high speed.
Auto stop operation
With wiper switch turned OFF, wiper motor will continue to operate until wiper arms reach windshield base.
When wiper arms are not located at base of windshield with wiper switch OFF, ground is provided
lfrom terminalV14of the wiper switch
lto wiper motor terminalV2, in order to continue wiper motor operation at low speed.
Ground is also supplied
lthrough terminalV13of the wiper switch
lto wiper amplifier terminalV2(Intermittent wiper models only)
lthrough terminalV7of the wiper amplifier (Intermittent wiper models only)
lto wiper motor terminalV5
lthrough terminalV6of the wiper motor, and
lthrough body groundsM1andM54.
When wiper arms reach base of windshield, wiper motor terminals
V4andV5are connected instead of ter-
minals
V5andV6. Wiper motor will then stop wiper arms at the PARK position.
Intermittent operation
The wiper motor operates the wiper arms one time at low speed at an interval of approximately 7 seconds.
This feature is controlled by the wiper amplifier.
When the wiper switch is placed in the INT position, ground is supplied
lto wiper amplifier terminalV1
lfrom wiper switch terminalV15
lthrough body groundsM1andM54.
lto wiper motor terminalV2
lthrough the wiper switch terminalV14
lto wiper switch terminalV13
lthrough wiper amplifier terminalV2
lto wiper amplifier terminalV3
lthrough body groundsM1andM54.
With power and ground supplied, the wiper motor operates at low speed intermittently.
FRONT WIPER AND WASHER
EL-120

WASHER OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
lthrough 20A fuse (No.16, located in the fuse block)
lto washer motor terminalV1.
With intermittent wiper
When the lever is pulled to the WASH position, ground is supplied
lto washer motor terminalV2, and
lto wiper amplifier terminalV6
lfrom terminalV18of the wiper switch
lthrough terminalV17of the wiper switch, and
lthrough body groundsM1andM54.
With power and ground supplied, the washer motor operates.
When the lever is pulled to the WASH position for one second or more, the wiper motor operates at low
speed for approximately 3 times after the lever is released. This feature is controlled by the wiper amplifier
in the same manner as the intermittent operation.
Without intermittent wiper
When the lever is pulled to the WASH position, ground is supplied
lto washer motor terminalV2
lfrom terminalV18of the wiper switch
lthrough terminalV17of the wiper switch, and
lthrough body groundsM1andM54.
With power and ground supplied, the washer motor operates.
