Mist wiper control
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON posi-
tion, and the windshield mist wiper switch is turned
ON, the front-ECU turns ON the windshield wiper
drive signal. At the same time, the wiper speed
switching relay is turned ON (HIGH-SPEED). While
the windshield mist wiper switch is ON, the wind-
shield wiper will operate at high speed. Then, if the
windshield mist wiper switch is turned off, the wiper
operates at low speed until it stops at the predeter-
mined park position.When the windshield mist switch is turned on briefly,
the wiper operates once at low speed.
At the point the windshield mist switch is turned ON,
if the windshield wiper has been operating intermit-
tently, the same operations as the above will be per-
formed while the windshield mist wiper switch is ON.
After the windshield mist wiper switch goes OFF, the
intermittent operations will be set again T1 seconds
after the last windshield wiper auto-stop signal turn-
ing ON.
.
Low speed wiper and high speed wiper control
When the ignition switch is at the ACC or ON posi-
tion, and the windshield low speed wiper switch of
the column switch is turned ON, the front-ECU turns
ON the windshield wiper drive signal, turns OFF (LO)
the windshield wiper speed relay, and operates the windshield wiper at low speed. Next, when the wind-
shield high speed wiper switch is turned ON, the
windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON, the wind-
shield wiper speed switching relay is turned ON (HI),
and the windshield wiper is operated at high speed.

Washer control
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON posi-
tion, and the windshield washer switch is turned ON,
the front-ECU turns ON the windshield washer relay.
The windshield wiper drive signal is turned ON after
0.15 seconds until 2 seconds after the windshield washer switch goes OFF to operate the windshield
wiper continuously. When the windshield washer
switch is turned ON, if the windshield wiper is operat-
ing intermittently, intermittent operations will be con-
tinued after continuous operations.
NOTE: The wiper drive signal output time varies
according to the conditions. Refer to the following
table for details.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-228
STEP 1. Use Diagnostic Tool MB991958 to select "ECU
COMM Check" on the SWS monitor display.
Check the following ECUs:
Column-ECU
Front-ECU
To prevent damage to Diagnostic Tool MB991958, always
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting Diagnostic Tool
MB991958. Connect special tool MB991910 before con-
necting special tool MB991812. Be sure to connect special
tool MB991806 after turning on special tool MB991824.
(1) Connect the special tool. Refer to "How to connect SWS
monitor P.54B-13."
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Operate Diagnostic Tool MB991958 according to the
procedure below to display "ECU COMM Check."
a. Select "Interactive Diagnosis."
b. Select "System select."
c. Select "SWS."
d. Select "SWS MONITOR."
e. Select "ECU COMM Check."
(4) Diagnostic Tool MB991958 should show "OK" on the "ECU
COMM Check" menus for both the "COLUMN ECU" and
the "FRONT ECU" menus.
Q: Is "OK" displayed for the "COLUMN ECU" and "FRONT
ECU" menu?
"OK" is displayed for all the items : Go to Step 2.
"NG" is displayed for the "COLUMN ECU" menu : Refer
to Inspection Procedure A-2 "Communication with the
column switch (column-ECU) is not possible
P.54B-68."
"NG" is displayed for the "FRONT ECU" menu : Refer to
Inspection procedure A-4 "Communication with the
front-ECU is not possible P.54B-80."

STEP 8. Check the ignition switch (ACC) circuit to the
front-ECU. Measure the voltage at front-ECU connector
A-12X.
(1) Disconnect front-ECU connector A-12X and measure the
resistance available at the relay box side of the connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 28 and ground.
The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts
(battery positive voltage).
Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery
positive voltage)?
YES : Replace the front-ECU. Verify that the windshield
wiper works normally.
NO : Go to Step 9.
STEP 9. Check the wiring harness between front-ECU
connector A-12X (terminal 28) and the ignition switch
(ACC).

roded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the
connector. If intermediate connector C-29 is damaged, repair or
replace the damaged component(s) as described in GROUP
00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2.
Q: Is the wiring harness between front-ECU connector
A-12X (terminal 28) and the ignition switch (ACC) in
good condition?
YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.

SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-234
INSPECTION PROCEDURE G-2: Windshield Wiper and Washer: The windshield wipers do not work
when the windshield wiper switch is at "INT" or "MIST" position or the windshield washer switch is at
"ON" position. However, the wipers work at low speed when the windshield wiper switch is at "LO" or
"HI."
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires use
of Diagnostic Tool MB991958 and SWS monitor kit
MB991813. For details on how to use the SWS mon-
itor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
This system may be at fail-safe mode as the SWS
communication line is defective.
If the system cannot receive any signal from the col-
umn switch (windshield wiper and washer switch)
due to a open circuit in the SWS communication line
or other reasons, the system will enter the fail-safe
mode when the ignition switch is at the "ACC" posi-
tion.
.

Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector
