Wiper System / Washer System (MICU) Input Test ('13: K24Z7)

NOTE: 

1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0)

2. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connectors A, B, C, D, P, R, T, and W.NOTE: All connector views are shown from wire side of female terminals.

3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.

4. With the connectors still disconnected, do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result isnot obtained

BLU

Connect under-dash fuse/relay box connector A (5P), ignition switch ON (II) Connect terminals C4 and A3, and terminal C22 to body ground with jumper wires: The windshield wiper motor should run at high speed.
  • Blown No. B46 (30 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • Faulty windshield wiper main relay
  • Faulty windshield wiper high/low relay
  • Faulty windshield wiper motor
  • Poor ground (G201) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
P20 BRN In all ignition switch positions Check for continuity to ground: There should be continuity.
  • Poor ground (G502)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
R7 BRN In all ignition switch positions Check for continuity to ground: There should be continuity.
  • Poor ground (G502)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire

Wiper/washer switch (Intermittent dwell time controller) turned ON. Measure the resistance between terminals T6 and T15: The resistance should vary between 0 to 1 kΩ.
  • Faulty windshield wiper/washer switch
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
C32 PUR Connect under-dash fuse/relay box connector A (5P), ignition switch ON (II), then run the windshield wiper motor by connecting terminals C4 and A3, and terminal C22 and body ground with jumper wires. Connect terminal C32 to body ground with a jumper wire: The windshield wiper motor speed should change from high speed to low speed.
  • Faulty windshield wiper motor
  • Faulty windshield wiper main relay
  • Faulty windshield wiper high/low relay
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
C15 ORN Connect under-dash fuse/relay box connector A (5P), ignition switch ON (II) Connect terminals C15 and A3 with a jumper wire: The windshield washer motor should run.
  • Faulty windshield washer motor
  • Poor ground (G201) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
C23 WHT Connect under-dash fuse/relay box connector A (5P), ignition switch ON (II), then run the windshield wiper motor by connecting terminals C4 and A3, and terminal C22 and body ground with jumper wires. Check for continuity to ground: The needle of the ohmmeter should pulse 1 time per wiper motor cycle.NOTE:  Use a DVOM.
  • Faulty windshield wiper motor
  • An open or high resistance in the wire

*: With intermittent dwell time controller

5. Reconnect the connectors to the under-dash fuse/relay box, and do the following input tests:
