Rain Sensor Circuit: Procedure
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WINDSHIELD WIPER RELAY ASSEMBLY - RAIN SENSOR)
- Disconnect the H51 windshield wiper relay assembly connector.
- Disconnect the T1 rain sensor connector.
- 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
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ROOF CONSOLE BOX ASSEMBLY - IG CIRCUIT AND BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the T10 roof console box assembly.
- 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
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RAIN SENSOR - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)
- 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
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- INSPECT ROOF CONSOLE BOX ASSEMBLY
- Reconnect the T10 roof console box assembly.
- 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
- INSPECT RAIN SENSOR
- Reconnect the T1 rain sensor connector.
- Connect an oscilloscope to the rain sensor connector.
- Check for pulses.
OK
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition T1-1 (MPX) - T1-2 (ES) Engine switch on (IG) Pulse generation TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component with harness connected
(Rain Sensor)
NG → See step 7
OK → See step 6
