Wipers Not Operating
NOTE:
Perform WINDSHIELD WIPER TEST 5A before proceeding with this test. For connector terminal identification and wiring diagrams, see
BODY CONTROL COMPUTER - INTRODUCTION article. Perform VERIFICATION TEST: VER-2A after each repair.
CAUTION:
Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to disconnecting or connecting any module connector.
- Stop wiper motor actuation. Ensure ignition is on. Place wiper switch in LOW position. Using scan tool, read intermittent wiper switch voltage. If scan tool displays INTRMT WIPE: 2.5V or greater, replace Body Control Module (BCM). BCM is mounted to junction block located behind left end cap of instrument panel. See Figure. If scan tool displays INTRMT WIPE: 2.4V or less, go to next step.
- Remove and inspect fuse No. 5 in junction block. See Figure. If fuse is open, go to step 5. If fuse is okay, go to next step.
- Install fuse. Disconnect multifunction switch connector. See Figure. Using external voltmeter, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 1 (Dark Blue wire) on switch harness connector. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open Dark Blue wire. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect BCM Black 24-pin connector C2. Using external ohmmeter, measure resistance of Dark Green/Red wire between terminal No. 3 on multifunction switch harness connector and terminal No. 8 on BCM Black harness connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace multifunction switch. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, repair open Dark Green/Red wire.
- Turn ignition on. Disconnect multifunction switch connector. See 5. Using external ohmmeter, measure resistance between ground and terminal No. 1 (Dark Blue wire) on switch harness connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair Dark Blue wire for short to ground. Replace fuse No. 5. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, go to next step.
- Using external ohmmeter, measure resistance between ground and terminal No. 3 (Dark Green/Red wire) on multifunction switch harness connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair Dark Green/Red wire for short to ground. Replace fuse No. 5. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, replace multifunction switch. Replace fuse No. 5.
