DTC B1279: Rain Sensor Communication Stop: Procedure
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (OVERHEAD JUNCTION BLOCK - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the R5 connector.
- Measure the voltage and resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition R5-19 (IG) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition R5-31 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω R5-32 (GND3) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Overhead Junction Block)
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- Disconnect the R5 connector.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RAIN SENSOR - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)
- Reconnect the R5 connector.
- Disconnect the R7 connector.
- Measure the voltage and resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition R7-1 (SIG) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition R7-3 (ES) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Rain Sensor)
NG → See step 4
OK: Go to next step
- Reconnect the R5 connector.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMMUNICATION LINE)
- Disconnect the 2F and J55 connectors.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition R7-2 (MPX) - J55-24 (MPX2) Always Below 1 Ω R7-2 (MPX) - 2F-5 (MPX1) Always Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Rain Sensor)*2 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Front Controller (Engine Room Relay Block No. 2))*3 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Power Source Control ECU)- -
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 5
- Disconnect the 2F and J55 connectors.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (OVERHEAD JUNCTION BLOCK - RAIN SENSOR)
- Disconnect the R5 connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition R7-3 (ES) - R5-16 (GND2) Always Below 1Ω R7-1 (SIG) - R5-17 (IG2) Always Below 1Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Rain Sensor)*2 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Overhead Junction Block)
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (OVERHEAD JUNCTION BLOCK - RAIN SENSOR)
OK → REPLACE OVERHEAD JUNCTION BLOCK
- Disconnect the R5 connector.
- REPLACE RAIN SENSOR. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2012 - ]
