TROUBLESHOOTING

M1511014600835

Refer to GROUP 00 - Contents of Troubleshooting .

Inspection Procedure: The headlamp washer does not work.

CAUTION

Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the input and output signal circuits are normal.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The headlamp washer motor, the headlamp washer 
relay, the column switch or the ETACS-ECU may be 
defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the headlamp washer motor

• Malfunction of the headlamp washer relay

• Malfunction of the column switch

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-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 GROUP 54A, Diagnosis Code 

Chart .

NO : 

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III data list
Check the input signals below which are related to 
the headlamp washer.

• Ignition switch: ON

Q: Is the check result normal?

All the signals are received normally. : 

Go to Step 

3.

The headlamp washer switch signal is not 
received. : 

Refer to GROUP 54A, Input signal 

procedure 11 "The column switch signal is 
not received ."

The ignition switch (IG1) signal is not received. : 

Refer to GROUP 54A, Input signal 
procedure 2 "The ignition switch (IG1) signal 
is not received ."

STEP 3. Check the headlamp washer motor 
assembly.
Refer to 

P.51-63

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Replace the headlamp washer motor.

STEP 4. Resistance measurement at headlamp 
washer motor connector (earth terminal).
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the 

wiring harness side.

(2) Continuity between headlamp washer motor 

connector (earth terminal) and body earth.

OK: Continuity exists (2 

Ω or less)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 6.

NO : 

Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check of open circuit in earth line 
between headlamp washer motor connector and 
body earth.

Q: Is the check result normal?

STEP 8. Check of the open circuit in power 
supply line between headlamp washer relay 
connector and the fusible link (4).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

The trouble can be an intermittent 

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00, How to 
use Troubleshooting/inspection Service 
Points - How to Cope with Intermittent 
Malfunction ).

NO :

STEP 9. Check of the open circuit in HWA line 
between ETACS-ECU connector and headlamp 
washer relay connector.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 10.

NO : 

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 10. Check of the open circuit in power 
supply line between headlamp washer motor 
connector and headlamp washer relay 
connector.
