Pinpoint Test M: The Rear Window Washer Is Always On
NOTE:
Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
- M1 CHECK THE WIPER/WASHER SWITCH INPUT USING THE REAR WIPER WASH SWITCH (R_WIPE_WASH_SW) PID (PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION)
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, view the SCCM Parameter Identifications (PIDs).
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, view the SCCM R_WIPE_WASH_SW PID.
- Activate and release the rear window wash function on the wiper/washer switch.
Does the PID indicate correctly when the switch is activated and released?
Yes GO to M2 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) . - M2 CHECK THE WASHER PUMP RELAY COIL CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect Windshield Wiper Motor C1655.
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C1655-12 Ground
Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to M5 No GO to M3 - M3 ISOLATE THE WASHER PUMP RELAY COIL CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect BJB C1035B.
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C1035B-19 Ground
Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to M4 No REPAIR the circuit. - M4 CHECK THE WASHER PUMP RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Disconnect Windshield Washer Pump C137.
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C137-1 Ground
Is any voltage present?
Yes GO to M5 No GO to M6 - M5 CHECK THE WASHER PUMP RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE IN THE BJB
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect BJB C1035B.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C137-1 Ground
Is any voltage present?
Yes REPAIR the circuit. No REFER to the INTRODUCTION to identify the cause of the short to power in the BJB. - M6 CHECK FOR CORRECT WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect the windshield wiper motor connector.
- 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 windshield wiper motor connector. 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 windshield wiper motor. 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.
