Rain Sensor Circuit: Procedure
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WINDSHIELD WIPER RELAY ASSEMBLY - RAIN SENSOR)
- Disconnect the F101 windshield wiper relay assembly connector.
- Disconnect the P7 rain sensor connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition F101-8 (SIG) - P7-4 (SIG) Always Below 1 Ω P7-4 (SIG) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher F101-14 (PA1) - P7-3 (AUTO) Always Below 1 Ω P7-3 (AUTO) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher F101-25 (E) - P7-1 (ES) Always Below 1 Ω P7-1 (ES) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT WINDSHIELD WIPER RELAY ASSEMBLY
- Reconnect the F101 windshield wiper relay assembly connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition F101-8 (SIG) - F101-25 (E) Power switch on (IG) 7.5 to 8.5 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Component with harness connected
(Windshield Wiper Relay Assembly)
