    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Body No. 5 / Active Test.
    5. Check the wiper motor operation by performing the Active Test.
      BODY NO. 5 (FRONT CONTROLLER):

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Wiper Motor HI Wiper motor HI operation Wiper motor HI operation ON / OFF -
      Wiper Motor LO Wiper motor LO operation Wiper motor LO operation ON / OFF -

      OK

      Wiper motor operates in HI or LO mode depending on command.

    NG → See step   2 

    OK → PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  

  2. INSPECT WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the windshield wiper motor assembly. Refer to REMOVAL .

    2. LO operation check.
      1. Connect the positive battery (+) lead to terminal 1 (+1) of the connector, and the negative battery (-) lead to terminal 5 (E).

        OK

        Motor is operated at low speed.

    3. HI operation check.
      1. Connect the positive battery (+) lead to terminal 4 (+2) of the connector, and the negative battery (-) lead to terminal 5 (E).

        OK

        Motor is operated at high speed.

    4. Automatic stop operation check.
      1. Connect the positive battery (+) lead to terminal 1 (+1) of the connector, and the negative battery (-) lead to terminal 5 (E). With the motor operating at low speed, disconnect terminal 1 (+1) to stop wiper motor operation where in any position other than the automatic stop position.
      2. Using SST, connect terminals 3 (+S) and 1 (+1), and the positive battery (+) lead to terminal 2 (B) to restart motor operation at low speed.
      3. Check that the motor stops at the automatic stop position.

        OK

        Motor stops as shown in the illustration.

    NG → REPLACE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY - FRONT CONTROLLER) 
    1. Disconnect the A16 wiper motor connector.
