Scheme 42

1. Check with Subaru Select Monitor Check the input signal when the switch assembly - combination wiper select is turned to LO or HI, using the current data display. Does the input signal change corresponding to the switch operation? Yes --> Finish the diagnosis. No --> Check the harness.
2. CHECK THE INTERMITTENT OPERATION (INSPECTION OF THE WIPER SWITCH ALONE). Set the voltmeter between terminals No. A2 (+) and No. B2 (-). Connect the battery to connector. (Terminal No. A2 (+), terminal No. B2 & A3 (-)) Turn the switch assembly - combination wiper select to INT. Connect the battery (+) to the terminal No. A2 for 5 seconds. Connect the battery (-) to the terminal No. B2, and check the voltage between terminals No. A2 and No. A3 during intermittent operation. Perform step ( 1 ) to ( 5 ) above when intermittent control switch is in MIN or MAX, and replace the switch if the operation is not as specified. Intermittent stationary time MIN: Approx. 2 seconds MAX: Approx. 16 seconds

Scheme 43

1. Check input of body integrated unit Check the input signal when the rear wiper switch is operated using Subaru Select Monitor. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(INT OFF time (when vehicle parked): 12 seconds) Yes --> Go to step 8 . No --> Go to step 6 .
6. Check harness between body integrated unit and rear wiper motor Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the ground cable from battery. Disconnect the connector of body integrated unit and wiper switch. Measure the resistance between the harness connector terminals of the body integrated unit and rear wiper motor. Connector & terminal (B280) No. 6 - (B97) No. 11: Is the resistance less than 10 ohms? Yes --> Go to step 7 . No --> Repair the open circuit of the harness between body integrated unit and rear wiper motor.
7. Check stop position circuit of the rear wiper motor Disconnect the harness connector of the motor assembly - rear wiper. Check the continuity of the circuit of rear wiper motor stop position. Connector & terminal (D43) No. 1 (+) - (D43) No. 4 (-): Is there continuity between terminals? Yes --> Go to step 8 . No --> Replace the motor assembly - rear wiper.
8. Check power supply circuit of the rear wiper motor Disconnect the harness connector of the motor assembly - rear wiper. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Measure the voltage between the rear wiper motor harness connector terminal and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (D43) No. 3 (+) - Chassis ground (-): Is the voltage 10 V or more? Yes --> Go to step 9 . No --> Check the fuse (No. 27 in main fuse box).
9. Check ground circuit of rear wiper motor Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Measure the resistance between the rear wiper motor harness connector terminal and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (D43) No. 4 - Chassis ground: Is the resistance less than 10 ohms? Yes --> Go to step 10 . No --> Repair the open circuit of the rear wiper motor ground circuit.
10. Check harness between body integrated unit and rear wiper motor Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the harness connector of body integrated unit.
