Wiper System / Washer System (MICU) Input Test ('14-'15)

NOTE: 

1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode

2. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connectors 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
C22 BLU Under all conditions Connect terminals D1 and C28, and terminal C22 to body ground with jumper wires: The windshield wiper motor should run at high speed.
  • Blown No. A1-5 (30 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
  • Faulty windshield wiper main relay
  • Faulty relay circuit board
  • Faulty windshield wiper motor
  • Poor ground (G401) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire

Windshield 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
  • A short to ground in the wire
C32 PUR Run the windshield wiper motor by connecting terminals D1 and C28, 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 high/low relay
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
C15 ORN Under all conditions Connect terminals D1 and C15 with jumper wires: 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 Run the windshield wiper motor by connecting terminals D1 and C28, 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
