INSPECTION PROCEDURE G-5: Windshield Wiper and Washer: Windshield washer does not work.: Diagnosis

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Required Special Tools: 

  1. STEP 1. Verify the windshield wiper. 

    Q: Does the windshield wiper operate normally? 

    YES  : Go to Step 2 < when using scan tool MB991502 > or Step 3 < when using a voltmeter >.

    NO:  Refer to INSPECTION PROCEDURE G-1 "WINDSHIELD WIPER DOES NOT WORK AT ALL  ."

  2. STEP 2. Check the input signal (by using scan tool MB991502). 

    Check the input signal from the windshield washer switch.

    CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502.
    1. Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector.
    2. Check that the tone alarm of scan tool MB991502 sounds when the input signal enters.

    Q: Does the tone alarm of scan tool MB991502 sound when the input signal enters? 

    YES  : Go to  Step 4.

    NO:  Scan tool MB991502 does not sound when the windshield washer switch is turned from "OFF" to "ON": Refer to INSPECTION PROCEDURE O-15 "THE WINDSHIELD WASHER SIGNAL IS NOT SENT TO THE ETACS-ECU  ."

  3. STEP 3. Check the input signal (by using a voltmeter). 

    Check the input signal from the windshield washer switch.

    1. Use special tool MB991529 to connect a voltmeter between ground terminal 4 or 5 and ETACS-ECU terminal 9 of the data link connector.
    2. Check that the voltmeter indicator deflects once when the input signal enters.

    Q: Does the voltmeter indicator deflect? 

    YES  : Go to Step 4.

    NO:  The voltmeter needle does not fluctuate when the windshield washer switch is turned from "OFF" to "ON": Refer to INSPECTION PROCEDURE O-15 "THE WINDSHIELD WASHER SIGNAL IS NOT SENT TO THE ETACS-ECU  ."

  4. STEP 4. Check the windshield washer motor. 
    1. Disconnect windshield washer motor connector A-33, and check at windshield washer motor connector side.
    2. Fill the windshield washer tank with washer fluid.
    3. When battery voltage is applied between terminals 1 and 2, washer fluid should gush out.

    Q: Does the windshield washer motor operate normally? 

    YES  : Go to Step 5.

    NO:  Replace the windshield washer motor. Verify that the windshield washer works normally.

    2. Measure the resistance value between terminal 2 and ground.
      • The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

    Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less? 

    YES  : Go to  Step 8.

    NO:  Go to Step 6.
