2. Check continuity between rain sensor harness connector and ground.





Does continuity exist?
YES - GO TO 4.
NO - Repair or replace harness.
4.CHECK RAIN SENSOR SIGNAL
1. Connect rain sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check signal between BCM harness connector and ground with oscilloscope.





Is the measurement value normal?
YES - Replace rain sensor. Refer to Exploded View.
NO - GO TO 5.
5.CHECK RAIN SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN
1. Disconnect BCM connector.
2. Check continuity between BCM harness connector and rain sensor harness connector.





Does continuity exist?
YES - GO TO 6.
NO - Repair or replace harness.
6.CHECK RAIN SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT
