Wipers/Washers (Driver's and Passenger's MICU) Input Test

Driver's MICU
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  1. Disconnect driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connectors F, Q, and R.
    NOTE: All connector views are wire side of female terminals.
  1. Inspect the connector 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 look OK, go to Step 5 .
  1. With the connectors still disconnected, make these input tests at the connectors.
    • 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 6 .
