Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch Circuit Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S82 windshield wiper/washer switch.
  2. With RAP OFF, MDI disconnected, wait one minute, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for B+ between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
  4. Test for B+ between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
  5. Test for 10 V between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the S82 windshield wiper/washer switch.
