CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
-
When using the Techstream with the power switch off to troubleshoot:
Connect the Techstream to the vehicle, and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at 1.5 second intervals until communication between the Techstream and vehicle begins.
- Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
PROCEDURE
| 1. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RAIN SENSOR - WINDSHIELD WIPER RELAY ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Disconnect the I56 windshield wiper relay assembly connector.
(b) Disconnect the T8 rain sensor connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| I56-14 (MPX1) - T8-1 (MPX) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| I56-14 (MPX1) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |

| 2. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WINDSHIELD WIPER RELAY ASSEMBLY - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND) |
| *a | Front view wire harness connector (to Windshield Wiper Relay Assembly) |
(a) Disconnect the windshield wiper relay assembly connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| I56-12 (E) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Switch Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| I56-2 (IG) - Body ground | Power switch on (IG) | 11 to 14 V |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 3. | CHECK WINDSHIELD WIPER RELAY ASSEMBLY |
(a) Temporarily replace the windshield wiper relay assembly with a new or normally functioning one.
