SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
SMART WIRING SYSTEM (SWS) NOT USING SWS MONITOR
54B-213
Inspection Procedure G-2: The windshield wipers does not work when the wiper switch is at "INT",
"WASHER" or "MIST" position. However, the wipers work at low speed when the switch is at "LO" and
"HI" position.
CAUTION
Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the
input and output signal circuits are normal.
COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
The system may be at fail-safe mode as the SWS
communication line is defective. If the front-ECU
does not receive the ignition switch (ACC) signal due
to an open circuit in the SWS communication lines or
other reasons when the ignition switch is at the ACC
position, the system will enter the fail-safe mode.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
• Malfunction of the column switch
• Malfunction of the front-ECU
• Damaged harness wires and connectors
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
Step 1. MUT-III diagnosis code
When the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK
(OFF) position, check that the ETACS-ECU does not
set the diagnosis code.
Q: Is the diagnosis code set?
YES :
Refer to diagnosis code chart
P.54B-29
.
NO :
Go to Step 2.
Step 2. Pulse check.
Check the input signals below which are related to
