Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The control circuit is a pass through in the BCM and the fuse block. The BCM does not control the washer pump.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the windshield washer fluid pump.
- Test for less than 20 Ω between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal A and the ground circuit terminal B.
- Turn the windshield washer switch ON and OFF. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the selected states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the windshield wiper/washer switch.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the windshield wiper/washer switch.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the windshield washer fluid pump.
