Wiper and Washer Systems: Testing and Inspection
Control Unit Input Test1. Before testing the wiper/washer control functions, troubleshoot the multiplex control system.
Multiplex Control Unit, Driver's:
2. Remove the driver's multiplex control unit from the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box, and disconnect its connector.
3. Inspect all connector and socket terminals to be sure they are making good contact.
- If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary', and recheck the system.
- If the terminals look OK, go to step 4.
4. With the driver's multiplex control unit still disconnected, make these input tests at the connector and driver's under-dash fuse/relay box sockets.
- If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
- If all the input tests prove OK, driver's multiplex control unit must be faulty; replace it.
