Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Intermittent Wiper Circuit
Turn ignition off. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminals No. 14 and 15 while turning intermittent wiper switch. Reading should be zero ohms with switch in the "S" position and approximately one ohm in the "L" position. If reading is correct, replace time control unit. If reading is not correct, check wiring harness continuity between TCU and intermittent wiper switch.
