| 2. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) - WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Disconnect the G36 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.
(b) Disconnect the A38 windshield wiper motor assembly connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| G36-3 (LIN3) - A38-2 (LIN) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 3. | CHECK MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) |
| *a | Component without harness connected (Main Body ECU (Multiplex Network Body ECU) |
(a) Check for voltage and pulses according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| G36-3 (LIN3) - Body ground | Engine switch off | Below 1 V |
| Engine switch on (IG) | Pulse generation |
| NG | | REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) |
|
| 4. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE - WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| A38-4 (+B) - Body ground | Engine switch on (IG) | 11 to 14 V |
| Less than approximately 60 seconds after engine switch turned off | 11 to 14 V | |
| Approximately 60 seconds after engine 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 |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
