|---|---|---|
| A38-4 (+B) - Body ground | Power switch on (IG) | 11 to 14 V |
| Less than approximately 60 seconds after power switch turned off | 11 to 14 V | |
| Approximately 60 seconds after power switch turned off | Below 1 V |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 5. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY - BODY GROUND) |
(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| A38-1 (GND) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| OK | | REPLACE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY |
