Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 8 |
| 6 | Connect a test lamp from the accessory voltage supply circuit terminal to the ground circuit terminal in the moisture sensor harness connector. Does the test lamp illuminate? |
Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 9 |
| 7 | Test the moisture sensor signal 1 circuit for an open, short to ground, or short to voltage. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING
and WIRING REPAIRS
in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? |
Go to Step 12 | Go to Step 10 |
| 8 | Repair the accessory voltage supply circuit to the moisture sensor for an open or short to ground. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING
and WIRING REPAIRS
in Wiring Systems. Is the repair complete? |
Go to Step 12 | - |
| 9 | Repair the moisture sensor ground circuit for an open or high resistance. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING
and WIRING REPAIRS
in Wiring Systems. Is the repair complete? |
Go to Step 12 | - |
| 10 | Inspect for poor connections at the moisture sensor. Refer to TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS
and CONNECTOR REPAIRS
in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? |
Go to Step 12 | Go to Step 11 |
| 11 | Replace the moisture sensor. Refer to Windshield Outside Moisture Sensor Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? |
Go to Step 12 | - |
| 12 | Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? |
