DTC B1279: Rain Sensor Communication Stop: Procedure

  1. INSPECT FUSE (ECU-IG LH) 
    1. Remove the ECU-IG LH fuse from the cowl side J/B LH.
    2. Measure the resistance of the fuse.

      Standard resistance

      Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (OVERHEAD J/B - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the R5 connector.

    2. Measure the voltage and resistance of the wire harness side connector.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      IG (R5-21) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 10 to 14 V

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      GND1 (R5-39) - Body ground Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (RAIN SENSOR - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the R7 connector.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      SIG (R7-1) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 10 to 14 V

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      ES (R7-3) - Body ground Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK RESISTANCE OF COMMUNICATION LINE 
    1. Disconnect the R7 and R5 ECU connectors.

    2. Measure the resistance between the specified terminals on the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      MPX (R7-2) - MPX1 (R5-37) Below 1 Ω

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Both are OK A
      One is OK B
      Both are NG C

    B → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR OR REPLACE RAIN SENSOR 

    C → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    A → REPLACE RAIN SENSOR
