SERVICE SPECIFICATIONM1511000300325
TROUBLESHOOTINGM1511000700323
The windshield wiper and washer are controlled by
the Smart Wiring System (SWS). For
troubleshooting, refer to GROUP 54B,
Troubleshooting P.54B-17 or GROUP 54C,
Troubleshooting P.54C-4.
NOTE: Even when the ETACS-ECU has failed, the
windshield wiper can work at low speed as fail-safe
mode. (Normally, the windshield wiper operates
when the ignition switch is at the "ACC" position. But,
if it enters the fail-safe mode, the wiper can operate
only when the ignition switch is at the "ON" position.)

WINDSHIELD INTERMITTENT WIPER
INSPECTION
1. If the windshield intermittent wiper interval
adjusting knob is operated, the wiper interval
should change.
2. Holding the windshield intermittent wiper interval
adjusting knob, input the simulated vehicle speed
with MUT-II MB991502 and check that the wiper
interval changes as the vehicle speed changes.
3. If not, carry out the troubleshooting (Refer to
GROUP 54B, Troubleshooting P.54B-17 or
GROUP 54C, Troubleshooting P.54C-4). ItemStandard value

REAR WIPER AND WASHER
GENERAL INFORMATIONM1511000100525
REAR WIPER AND WASHER OPERATION
Rear Wiper Operation
•If the rear wiper and washer switch is turned to
"INT" position with the ignition switch at "ACC" or
"ON" position, the ETACS-ECU turns ON the rear
wiper drive signal for three seconds
(approximately two cycles), then 7.4 seconds
later the intermittent motion operates every eight
seconds. If the selector lever is moved to the "R"
position when the rear wiper and washer switch is
turned to the "INT" position and the ignition
switch is at the "ACC" or "ON" position, the inhibitor switch "R" turns ON. One second later,
the ETACS-ECU turns ON the rear wiper drive
signal for three seconds (approximately two
cycles). Then, 7.4 seconds later, the intermittent
motion of eight seconds' cycle is restored.
Rear Washer Operation
•If the rear wiper and washer switch is turned to
the ON (washer) position with the ignition switch
at the "ACC" or "ON" position, the rear washer
ON signal is sent to the ETACS-ECU, causing the
rear wiper signal to turn on after 0.3 second. After
the rear washer switch signal turns off, the rear
wiper signal turns off in three seconds. If the rear
washer switch is turned to the ON position while
the rear wiper is in intermittent mode, the rear
washer works for that period when the washer
switch remains on. Then the rear wipers return to
the intermittent mode.

CHECK OF REAR WIPER OPERATION
WHEN SELECTOR LEVER IS AT THE "R"
POSITION
1. When the selector lever is moved to the "R"
position with the rear wiper switch at the "INT"
position, the wiper should operate twice or three
times at low speed after approximately one
second.
2. If not, carry out the troubleshooting (Refer to
GROUP 54B, Troubleshooting P.54B-17 or
GROUP 54C, Troubleshooting P.54C-4). ItemStandard value

GENERAL INFORMATIONM1511000100536
DOOR MIRROR OPERATION
Remote Controlled Mirror Operation
•The mirror on the door mirror moves up/down
and left/right by operating the remote controlled
door mirror switch when the ignition switch is in
the "ON" or "ACC" position.Heated Door Mirror operation
•The defogger relay switch is activated (ON) by
turning on the A/C-ECU built-in defogger switch
when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position.
When the defogger relay is turned ON, power is
supplied to the defogger and door mirror, and the
heater of the door mirror (heated door mirror)
starts operations. The defogger comes with a
timer function and will automatically turn OFF the
switch approximately 11 minutes after the
defogger switch is turned ON. The heated door
mirror operations are also terminated along with
the defogger, at this time.

FLUID LEVEL AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY
CHECK
M1541001000438
CAUTION
•If the battery fluid is below the LOWER
LEVEL, the battery could explode in using.
•If the battery fluid is over the UPPER LEVEL,
leakage could result.
1. Inspect whether or not the battery fluid is between
the UPPER LEVEL and LOWER LEVEL marks.
2. Use a hydrometer and thermometer to check the
specific gravity of the battery fluid.
Standard value: 1.220 − 1.290 (20°C)
3. The specific gravity of the battery fluid varies with
the temperature, so use the following formula to
calculate the specific gravity for 20°C. Use the
calculated value to determine whether or not the
specific gravity is satisfactory.
D20 = (t − 20) X 0.0007 + Dt

CAUTION
•The battery plus should be removed during
charging.
•The battery electrolyte level may rise and
overflow from the battery during charging.
•Explosions may occur if the battery is
brought close to naked flames during
charging.
•Be careful to avoid tasks that might produce
sparks or other danger while the battery is
charging.
•After charging is complete, replace the
battery plus, pour water over the battery to
rinse away any sulphuric acid, and let the
battery stand to dry.
•Charge the battery in a well-ventilated
location.
•Do not let the battery electrolyte temperature
rise above approximately 45°C (approximately
55°C during rapid charging).
1. Remove the battery from the vehicle.
2. The normal charging current is a value in
amperes which is 1/10th of the battery capacity. If
the battery needs to be charged rapidly because
of reasons such as time limitations, the maximum
charging current for rapid charging is the battery
capacity expressed as an ampere value.
3. Determine when charging is finished.
•When the specific gravity of the battery
electrolyte is constantly within 1.250 − 1.290 for a
continuous period of one hour or more.•When the voltage per cell during charging is 2.5 −
2.8 V constantly for a continuous period of one
hour or more. Items Specification

•Extinguishes automatically in three minutes if the
ignition switch is turned off with the lighting switch
on.
•Extinguishes in one second if the driver's door is
opened within that 3-minute period.
•If the headlamps are turned on with the ignition
switch off, the headlamps and tail lamps will

PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Inspect for badly rusted or faulty headlamp
assemblies.
2. These conditions must be corrected before a
satisfactory adjustment can be made.
3. Inspect tyre inflation, and adjust if it is necessary.
4. If the fuel tank is not full, place a weight in luggage
room of the vehicle to simulate weight of a full
tank (0.8 kg per litre).
5. There should be no other load in the vehicle other
than driver or substituted weight of approximately
75 kg placed in driver's position.
6. Thoroughly clean the headlamp lenses.7. Place the vehicle on a level floor, perpendicular to
a flat screen 10 m away from the bulb
centre-marks on the headlamp lens.
8. Rock vehicle sideways to allow vehicle to assume
its normal position.
9. Bounce the front suspension through three (3)
oscillations by applying the body weight to hood
or bumper.
10.Four lines of adhesive tape (or equivalent
markings) are required on screen or wall:
(1) Position a vertical tape or mark so that it is
aligned with the vehicle centre line.
(2) Measure the distance from the centre-marks
on the headlamp lens to the floor. Transfer the
measurement to the screen. Horizontal tape or
mark on the screen is for reference of vertical
adjustment. Item Standard value Limit
