SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SIMPLIFIED WIRING SYSTEM (SWS)54B-226
INSPECTION PROCEDURE G-1: Windshield Wiper and Washer: The windshield wiper do not work at
all.
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."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The windshield wiper and washer switch sends a
signal through the column-ECU (incorporated in
the column switch) to the front-ECU. If the col-
umn-ECU sends a windshield wiper and washer
switch "ON" signal to the front-ECU, the
front-ECU turns on the relay (incorporated in the
front-ECU), thus causing the windshield wiper
and washer motor to be turned on.
If the SWS communication line is defective, the
front-ECU operates windshield wiper motor by
using the other communication lines (wiper
backup circuit) instead of that line. In this case,
the windshield wiper works at low speed regard-
less of the windshield wiper and washer switch
positions ("LO" or "HIGH").
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the windshield wiper does not work at all, the wind-
shield wiper motor, column switch (windshield wiper
and washer switch) or the front-ECU may be defec-
tive.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80
Trouble in input signal system
The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector
The wiper motor may be defective
The column switch may be defective
The front-ECU may be defective

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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE H-1: Headlamp and Taillamp: The taillamps do not illuminate normally.
NOTE: This troubleshooting procedure requires the
use of Diagnostic Tool MB991958 and SWS monitor
kit MB991813. For details on how to connect the
SWS monitor, refer to "How to connect SWS monitor
P.54B-13."
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
When the lighting switch is set to "TAIL" position, the
"TAIL" signal is sent through the column-ECU (incor-
porated in the column switch) to the front-ECU. If the
front-ECU receives the "TAIL" signal through the col-
umn-ECU, the front-ECU turns on the taillamp relay
(incorporated in the front-ECU), thus causing the
taillamps to illuminate.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the taillamps do not illuminate normally, the column
switch or the front-ECU may be defective.
