Test 118A - Washer Pump Problem
CAUTION:
Always turn ignition off prior to disconnecting or connecting any module connector.
NOTE:
For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS - 3.0L
article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. Perform TEST VER-1 after each repair.
- Disconnect washer pump motor connector, located at center of cowl on washer reservoir. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage on washer pump connector terminal No. 1 (Brown wire). With probe connected, engage washers. If voltage is more than 10 volts while engaging washers, go to TEST 118B. If voltage is less than 10 volts while engaging washers, go to next step.
- Disconnect washer relay, located in power distribution center in front of left strut tower. See Figure. Check voltage on washer relay connector terminals "A" and "B" (Dark Blue wires). If voltage is less than 10 volts at each circuit, repair open Dark Blue wires. If voltage is more than 10 volts at each circuit, go to next step.
- Reconnect front windshield washer relay. Disconnect right side pod switch connector. See Figure. Check connector and clean or repair connector as necessary. Check voltage on right side pod switch connector terminal No. 4 (Light Blue/Red wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Light Blue/Red wire. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of right side pod switch connector terminal No. 6 (Black/Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Black/Orange wire. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
- Reconnect washer pump motor connector. Connect jumper wire between right side pod switch connector terminals No. 4 (Light Blue/Red wire) and No. 6 (Black/Orange wire). If washer pump operates with jumper wire connected, replace right pod switch. If washer pump does not operate with jumper wire connected, replace windshield washer relay.
