Toyota Camry (XV70): Wiper Switch Signal Mismatch between LIN and Line (B1372)

DESCRIPTION

Under normal operation, the windshield wiper motor assembly receives operation signals from the windshield wiper switch assembly via LIN communication.

The windshield wiper motor assembly and windshield wiper switch assembly are also connected via direct line in order to operate the front wipers in HI in an emergency. If the operation signals sent via LIN communication and direct line do not match, this DTC is stored.

5.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) - WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY)

(a) Disconnect the K51 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.

(b) Disconnect the A31 windshield wiper motor assembly connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
K51-3 (LIN3) - A31-2 (LIN)	Always	Below 1 Ω
K51-3 (LIN3) or A31-2 (LIN) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ Higher

NG

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK

6.	CHECK MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)

*a	Component without harness connected (Main Body ECU (Multiplex Network Body ECU)

(a) Check for pulses according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
K51-3 (LIN3) - Body ground	Ignition switch off	Below 1 V
	Ignition switch ON	Pulse generation

OK

REPLACE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY

NG

REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)

7.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEERING SENSOR - WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY)

(a) Disconnect the K71 steering sensor connector.

(b) Disconnect the A31 windshield wiper motor assembly connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
K71-2 (2S) - A31-3 (2S)	Always	Below 1 Ω
K71-2 (2S) or A31-3 (2S) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ Higher

NG

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK
