2. FRONT WIPER
1) Check with Subaru Select Monitor
2) Check the intermittent operation (inspection of
the wiper switch alone)
(1) Set the voltage meter between connector
terminal No. 7 (+) and No. 2 (–).
(2) Connect the battery between connector ter-
minal No. 7 (+) and No. 2 (–).
(3) Turn the wiper switch to INT.
(4) Connect the battery ground terminal to the
connector terminal No. 16 for five seconds.
(5) After connecting the battery ground terminal
for five seconds in step (4), connect the battery
positive terminal to the connector terminal No.
16 for five seconds.
(6) After connecting the battery ground terminal
and the battery positive terminal to the connec-
tor terminal No. 16 for five seconds each in step
(4) and (5), connect the ground terminal to the
connector terminal No. 16 again.
(7) Perform the step (1) to (6) above at MIN and
MAX position of the intermittent control switch.
If operation is not as specification, replace the
wiper switch assembly.
3) Inspect the vehicle speed response (With the
wiper switch installed on the vehicle)
(1) Operational check
Position the front wiper switch to INT, then mea-
sure the intermittent stationary time at each ve-
hicle speed.
If operation is not as specified, replace the
switch.
(2) CHECK VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL.
Raise the vehicle speed to more than 10 km/h
(6 mph), then measure the voltage between the
wiper switch connector and the chassis ground.

1CHECK INPUT SIGNAL TO THE BODY INTE-
GRATED UNIT.
When the front wiper switch is operated, check
the input signal using the Subaru Select Moni-
tor.
1) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data
link connector.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3) Select {Integ. unit} from main menu.
4) Select the {Current Data Display & Save}.
5) Check the input signal when the front wiper
switch is set to LO or HI.
Is the input signal normal? Finish the diagno-
sis.
Replace the body
integrated unit.

2CHECK OUTPUT OF BODY INTEGRATED
UNIT.
When the rear wiper switch is operated, check
the output using the Subaru Select Monitor.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Operate the rear wiper switch and set to
each position of ON and INT.
3) At this time, check the body integrated unit
output.
When set to ON, is ON output
continuous? When set to INT,
is ON/OFF output repeated?

A: REMOVAL
CAUTION:
When replacing the wiper blade, if standing up
the wiper arm, be sure to stand up the driver’s
side wiper arm first, and then passenger’s side
wiper arm next. Also, when putting the wiper
arms back, be sure to start with passenger’s
side first, then driver’s side next. Doing this in
the reverse order may result in the driver’s side
wiper blade hitting the passenger’s side wiper
arm and causing damage.
