at end of article.
- Using DRB-II, read wiper park switch status. If DRB-II displays WIPER PK SW: CLOSED, go to step 5). If DRB-II does not display WIPER PK SW: CLOSED, go to next step.
- Disconnect multifunction switch connector. Connector is located on upper part of steering column, behind trim cover. If motor is not operating, replace multifunction switch. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1.
- If motor is operating, remove wiper motor on/off relay from Power Distribution Center (PDC). PDC is located on left front fender apron. Reconnect multifunction switch connector and place wiper switch in low speed position. With DRB-II in voltmeter mode, check voltage on on/off relay connector control circuit (Dark Green/Yellow wire). If voltage is more than 0.2 volt, replace on/off wiper motor relay. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1.
- If voltage is less than 0.2 volt, disconnect Body Controller Module (BCM) Bone connector. Module is located behind right kick panel. With DRB-II in ohmmeter mode, check resistance on on/off relay connector control circuit (Dark Green/Yellow wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Dark Green/Yellow wire. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace BCM. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1.
- Disconnect windshield wiper motor connector. Connector is located on engine compartment firewall, just right of power brake booster. Using DRB-II, read wiper park switch status. If DRB-II does not display WIPER PK SW: CLOSED, replace windshield wiper motor. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1.
- If DRB-II displays WIPER PK SW: CLOSED, turn ignition off. Disconnect BCM Bone connector. With DRB-II in ohmmeter mode, check resistance on BCM Bone connector terminal No. 2, park switch sense circuit (Tan/Red wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Tan/Red wire. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace BCM. Perform VERIFICATION PROCEDURE VER-1.
