Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the connector at the B117A Windshield Outside Moisture/Ambient Light and Humidity Sensor. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in circuit 2351 or ground connection.

    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Test circuit 4540 for an open/high resistance.
      • If an open/high resistance is found, repair the fault on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If an open/high resistance is not found.
    2. Refer to Retained Accessory Power Malfunction
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Test circuit 4540 for a short to ground.
      • If a short to ground is found, repair the fault on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If a short to ground is not found.
    2. Replace the B117A Windshield Outside Moisture/Ambient Light and Humidity Sensor.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  4. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, ignition ON.
  5. Test for 5 - 10 V between the serial data circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • Go to next step: If between 5.0 - 10.0 V 
  6. Replace the B117A Windshield Outside Moisture/Ambient Light and Humidity Sensor.
