The Intermittent And/Or Low Speed Windshield Wipers Are Inoperative
- B1 CHECK THE HIGH SPEED WIPER OPERATION
- Ignition ON.
- Place the wiper/washer switch to the high speed setting and observe the windshield wipers. Place the wiper/washer switch to the off setting.
Do the windshield wipers operate with the wiper/washer switch in the high speed setting?
- Yes : GO to B2
- No : GO to PINPOINT TEST A
- B2 CHECK THE LOW SPEED WIPER OPERATION
- Place the wiper/washer switch to the low speed setting and observe the windshield wipers. Place the wiper/washer switch to the off setting.
Do the windshield wipers operate with the wiper/washer switch in the low speed setting?
- Yes
: If not equipped with a rain sensor, GO to PINPOINT TEST E
If equipped with a rain sensor, GO to PINPOINT TEST F
- No : GO to B3
- B3 CHECK THE INPUT TO THE SCCM (STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, view the SCCM Parameter Identifications (PIDs).
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, view the following SCCM F_WIP_SLO_SW PID.
- Place the wiper/washer switch to the low speed setting.
Does the PID indicate the wiper/washer switch is in the low speed setting?
- Yes
: If equipped with a rain sensor, GO to B4
If not equipped with a rain sensor, GO to B5
- No
: INSTALL a new wiper/washer switch.
REFER to: STEERING COLUMN MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH RH .
TEST the system for normal operation. If the concern is still present, INSTALL a new SCCM .
REFER to: STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE (SCCM) .
- B4 ISOLATE THE RAIN SENSOR
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect Rain Sensor C914 .
- Ignition ON.
- Place the wiper/washer switch to the low speed setting and observe the windshield wipers. Place the wiper/washer switch to the off setting.
Do the windshield wipers operate with the wiper/washer switch in the low speed setting?
- Yes
: INSTALL a new rain sensor.
REFER to: Rain Sensor .
- No : GO to B5
- B5 CHECK THE LIN (LOCAL INTERCONNECT NETWORK) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect Driver Side Windshield Wiper Motor C1655 .
- Disconnect SCCM C2414A .
- Ignition ON.
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead C1655-4 Ground
Is any voltage present?
- Yes : REPAIR the circuit.
- No : GO to B6
- B6 CHECK THE LIN (LOCAL INTERCONNECT NETWORK) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
- Yes : GO to B7
- No : REPAIR the circuit.
- B7 CHECK THE LIN (LOCAL INTERCONNECT NETWORK) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
- Yes
: INSTALL a new driver side windshield wiper motor.
REFER to: Windshield Wiper Motor .
TEST the system for normal operation. If the concern is still present, GO to B8
- No : REPAIR the circuit.
- Yes
: INSTALL a new driver side windshield wiper motor.
- B8 CHECK FOR CORRECT SCCM (STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect all the SCCM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminal - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the SCCM connectors. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
- Yes
: CHECK OASIS
for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB
exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the TSB
instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new SCCM
.
REFER to: STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE (SCCM) .
- No : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
