Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B118B Windshield Washer Fluid Level Switch. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10Ω between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If 10Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 10Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Verify the scan tool Washer Fluid Level Switch parameter is On
    • If not On 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    • If On 
  5. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A and the ground circuit terminal B.
  6. Verify the scan tool Washer Fluid Level Switch parameter is Off.
    • If not Off 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the jumper wire, disconnect the harness connector at the P16 Instrument Cluster, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1V
    3. Test for less than 2Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2Ω, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    • If Off 
  7. Test or replace the B118B Windshield Washer Fluid Level Switch.
