Pinpoint Test O: The Defrost System Is Inoperative - Heated Wiper Park
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- O1 CHECK THE POWER 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 O2.
- No : GO to O6.
- O2 CHECK THE SWITCHED GROUND FROM THE DATC MODULE
- Key in ON position.
- Turn on the climate control.
-
NOTE: Heated wiper park will remain on for 90 seconds.
- 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?
- Yes : GO to O3.
- No : GO to O7.
- O3 CHECK THE HEATED WIPER PARK RELAY OUTPUT
- Key in OFF position.
- Connect: Heated Wiper Park Relay C1014.
- Disconnect: Heated Wiper Park C247.
- Key in ON position.
- Turn on the climate control.
-
NOTE: Heated wiper park will remain on for 90 seconds.
- Press the auto and defrost buttons simultaneously to turn on the heated wiper park.
- Measure the voltage between the heated wiper park C247-1, circuit 30S-HB42 (RD/YE), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : GO to O5.
- No : GO to O4.
- O4 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 C247-1, 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.
- O5 CHECK THE HEATED WIPER PARK GROUND
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Heated Wiper Park C246.
- Key in ON position.
- Turn on the climate control.
-
NOTE: Heated wiper park will remain on for 90 seconds.
- Press the auto and defrost buttons simultaneously to turn on the heated wiper park.
- Measure the voltage between the heated wiper park C247-1, circuit 30S-HB42 (RD/YE), harness side the heated wiper park C246-1, circuit 31-HB42 (BK/YE), harness side.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : INSTALL a new windshield. REFER to WINDSHIELD GLASS . TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR circuit 31-HB42 (BK/YE). TEST the system for normal operation.
- O6 CHECK THE UNDERHOOD AJB FOR POWER
- 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.
- O7 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 MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - LS for the removal and installation procedure. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
