Pinpoint Test I: The Defrost System Is Inoperative - Heated Wiper Park: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- I1 CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE HEATED WIPER PARK RELAY
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Heated Wiper Park Relay C1014.
- Measure the voltage between the heated wiper park relay c1014-86, circuit 30-HB8A (RD/OG), harness side and ground; and between the heated wiper park relay C1014-30, circuit 30-HB8 (RD/OG), harness side and ground.
- Are both voltages greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : GO to I2.
- No : GO to I6.
- I2 CHECK THE SWITCHED GROUND FROM THE DATC MODULE
- Key in ON position.
- Turn on the climate control.
- Press the auto and defrost buttons simultaneously to turn on the heated wiper park.
- Measure the voltage between the heated wiper park relay c1014-85, circuit 91S-HB7 (BK/BU), harness side and the heated wiper park relay C1014-86, circuit 30-HB8A (RD/OG), harness side.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
NOTE: The Heated wiper park remains on for 90 seconds.- Yes : GO to I3.
- No : GO to I7.
- I3 CHECK THE HEATED WIPER PARK RELAY OUTPUT
- Key in OFF position.
- Connect: Heated Wiper Park Relay C1014.
- Disconnect: Heated Wiper Park C2272a.
- Key in ON position.
- Turn on the climate control.
- Press the auto and defrost buttons simultaneously to turn on the heated wiper park.
- Measure the voltage between the heated wiper park C2272a-1, circuit 30S-HB42 (RD/YE), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
NOTE: The Heated wiper park remains on for 90 seconds.- Yes : GO to I5.
- No : GO to I4.
- I4 CHECK CIRCUIT 30S-HB42 (RD/YE) FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Heated Wiper Park Relay C1014.
- Measure the resistance between the heated wiper park relay c1014-87, circuit 30S-HB42 (RD/YE), harness side and the heated wiper park C2272a-1, circuit 30S-HB42 (RD/YE), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new heated wiper park relay. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- I5 CHECK THE HEATED WIPER PARK GROUND
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Heated Wiper Park C2272b.
- Key in ON position.
- Turn on the climate control.
- Press the auto and defrost buttons simultaneously to turn on the heated wiper park.
- Measure the voltage between the heated wiper park C2272a-1, circuit 30S-HB42 (RD/YE), harness side and the heated wiper park C2272b-1, circuit 31-HB42 (BK/YE), harness side.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
NOTE: The Heated wiper park remains on for 90 seconds.- Yes : INSTALL a new windshield. REFER to WINDSHIELD GLASS in this article. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR circuit 31-HB42 (BK/YE). TEST the system for normal operation.
- I6 CHECK THE UNDERHOOD AJB FOR VOLTAGE
- Disconnect: Underhood AJB Fuse 13 (30A).
- Measure the voltage between the underhood AJB fuse 13 (30A) input cavity, and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : REPAIR circuit 30-HB8 (RD/OG). TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR the underhood AJB input circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- I7 CHECK CIRCUIT 91S-HB7 (BN/RD) FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: DATC Module C228b.
- Measure the resistance between the heated wiper park relay c1014-85, circuit 91S-HB7 (BN/RD), harness side and the DATC module C228b-20, circuit 91S-HB7 (BN/RD), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new DATC module. REFER to CONTROL COMPONENTS . TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
