Rain Sensor Circuit: Procedure

  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WINDSHIELD WIPER RELAY ASSEMBLY - RAIN SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the H51 windshield wiper relay assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the T1 rain sensor connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      H51-14 (MPX1) - T1-1 (MPX) Always Below 1 Ω
      T1-1 (MPX) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ROOF CONSOLE BOX ASSEMBLY - IG CIRCUIT AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the T10 roof console box assembly.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      T10-1 (IG) - T10-21 (GND2) Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RAIN SENSOR - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      T1-2 (ES) - T10-21 (GND2) Always Below 1 Ω
      T1-4 (SIG) - T10-14 (IG2) Always Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT ROOF CONSOLE BOX ASSEMBLY 
    1. Reconnect the T10 roof console box assembly.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      T1-4 (SIG) - T1-2 (ES) Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V

    NG → See step   8 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. INSPECT RAIN SENSOR 
    1. Reconnect the T1 rain sensor connector.

    2. Connect an oscilloscope to the rain sensor connector.
    3. Check for pulses.

      OK

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      T1-1 (MPX) - T1-2 (ES) Engine switch on (IG) Pulse generation
