  3. Disconnect the 14P connector (A) from the wiper/washer switch (B).
  4. Remove the two screws, then pull out the wiper/washer switch.
  5. Inspect the connector terminals to be sure they are all making good contact. If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system. If the terminals look OK, check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the tables. If the continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.

Scheme 8: Control Unit Input Test
  1. Before testing, troubleshoot the multiplex control system (see «TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-290874-S31950025672008072200000) ).
  2. Remove the dashboard lower cover (see «DRIVER'S DASHBOARD LOWER COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(ref-290806-S07762317602008072200000) ).
  3. Disconnect the under-dash fuse/relay box connectors B, F, G, J, X and Y. NOTE: All connectors are shown from wire side of female terminals.
  4. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact. If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system. If the terminals are OK, go to step 5 .
