Wiper and Washer Systems: Service Precautions

CAUTION

- Connect the connectors and hoses securely during reassembly.
- After reassembly, make sure functional parts operates smoothly.
- Be careful with the airbag system wiring harness which passes near electrical parts and switches.
- Airbag system wiring harnesses connectors are yellow. Do not use a tester equipment on these circuits.
- Care must be taken when connecting the hose to the pipe so that no bending, jamming, etc. are caused.
- If even a small amount of silicon oil or grease enters tank and washer fluid passages, an oil film will be formed on the glass and will cause the wiper to chatter and judder. Make sure that no oil comes into contact with the system.
