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).

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.

FLASHER TIMER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE FLASHER TIMERM1549023600238
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80The following ECUs affect the functions and control
of the flasher timer.
FLASHER TIMER FUNCTION
.
TURN-SIGNAL LAMP
The turn-signal lamp output (flashing signal) is turned ON when
the ignition switch is ON and the turn-signal lamp switch is ON
(LH or RH). If the front turn-signal lamp or rear turn-signal lamp
bulb has burned out, the flashing speed increases to indicate
that the bulb has burned out.
NOTE: If LH or RH side turn signal lamp bulbs have burned
out, the flashing speed will remain the same.
.
TURN-SIGNAL INDICATORS
At the same time that the turn-signal lamps are illuminated, the
ETACS-ECU sends a signal to illuminate the turn-signal lamp
indicator via the CAN bus line. The combination meter receives
the transmitted signal and turns the turn-signal lamp indicator
on and off.
.
HAZARD WARNING LAMP
Detects the signal where the hazard warning lamp switch input
changes from OFF to ON, and reverse the flashing state
according to this signal. The hazard warning lamps toggle on
and off whenever the hazard warning lamp switch is operated.
NOTE: The hazard warning lamp switch is a push-return type
toggle switch. FUNCTION CONTROL ECU
