Wipers/Washers (MICU) (2013 2014 2015)
NOTE:
- Refer to the Electrical Wiring Diagrams for the location of the under-dash fuse/relay box connectors.
- Before testing, make sure the No. A1-5 (30 A) and A26 (15 A) fuses in the under-hood fuse/relay box are OK.
- Before testing, make sure the No. B6 (7.5 A) and B28 (15 A) fuses in the under-dash fuse/relay box are OK.
1. Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
2. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connectors B, C, D, T, and W
.NOTE: All connector views are shown from the wire side of the female terminals.
Inspect the connectors 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 4.
With the connectors still disconnected, do the following input tests:
- If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
- If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 5.
| Cavity | Wire | Test condition | Test: Desired result | Possible cause if desired resultis not obtained |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C22 | BLU | Under all conditions | Connect terminals D1 and C28, and terminal C22 to body ground with jumper wires:The windshield wiper motor should run at high speed. |
|
| T6.T15 | BLU.BLK | Windshield wiper/washer switch (Intermittent dwell time controller) turned ON. | Measure the resistance between terminals T6 and T15:The resistance should vary between 0 to 1 kΩ. |
|
| C32 | PUR | Run the windshield wiper motor by connecting terminals D1 and C28, and terminal C22 and body ground with jumper wires. | Connect terminal C32 to body ground with a jumper wire:The windshield wiper motor speed should change from high speed to low speed. |
|
| C15 | ORN | Under all conditions | Connect terminals D1 and C15 with jumper wires:The windshield washer motor should run. |
|
| C23 | WHT | Run the windshield wiper motor by connecting terminals D1 and C28, and terminal C22 and body ground with jumper wires. | Use a DVOM to check for continuity to ground. |
NOTE: There is no needle on a DVOM.
|
Reconnect the connectors to the under-dash fuse/relay box, and do the following input tests:
- If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
- If all the input tests prove OK, the MICU must be faulty; replace the under-dash fuse/relay box .
