SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-233
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-29 for loose, cor-
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.
NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the
connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that
the windshield wiper works normally.

SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
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.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
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
The column switch may be defective
The front-ECU may be defective
