Component Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Relay Test

  1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
  2. Remove the appropriate component:KR12B Windshield Wiper RelayorKR12C Windshield Wiper Speed Control Relay
  3. Test for 70 to 110 ohms between the test points:Component terminal 85 & 86
    • If not between 70 and 110 ohms 

      Replace the component that has failed in the test.

    • Go to next step: If between 70 and 110 ohms 
  4. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:
    • Component terminal 30 & 85
    • Component terminal 30 & 86
    • Component terminal 30 & 87
    • Component terminal 85 & 87
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the component that has failed in the test.

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  5. Test for less than 5 ohms between the test points:Terminal 30 & Terminal 87A
    • If 5 ohms or greater 

      Replace the component that has failed in the test.

    • Go to next step: If less than 5 ohms 
  6. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points:Component terminal 86 & 12 V

    Connect a jumper wire between the test points:Component terminal 85 & Ground

  7. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:Component terminal 30 & 87
    • If 2 ohms or greater 

      Replace the component that has failed in the test.

    • Go to next step: If less than 2 ohms 
  8. All OK.

S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch-Static Test

  1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector:S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch
  3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 2 & Low Reference circuit terminal 1
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the component:S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  4. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 3 & Low Reference circuit terminal 1
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the component:S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  5. Test for the resistance listed below between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 3 & Low Reference circuit terminal 1
    • Delay 1 = 3.8 kohms
    • Delay 2 = 2.8 kohms
    • Delay 3 = 1.9 kohms
    • Delay 4 = 2.8 kohms
    • Delay 5 = 770 ohms
    • If the resistance is not within range 

      Replace the component:S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch

    • Go to next step: If the resistance is within range 
  6. All OK.
