DTC (Body Control Module)

1. Wiper/washers system check

   -1. Turn the windshield wiper switch to the OFF position, check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   Windshield Wiper Switch (LOW)	OFF
   Windshield Wiper Switch (HIGH)	OFF
   Windshield Wiper Switch (INT)	OFF
   Windshield Wiper Switch (LOW)	OFF

   Are all data list values correct?

   YES 

   Go to step 4.

   NO 

   Go to step 2.

2. Determine possible failure area (windshield wiper/washer switch, others)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Disconnect the following connector.

   Windshield wiper/washer switch 10P connector

   -3. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   Windshield Wiper Switch (LOW)	OFF
   Windshield Wiper Switch (HIGH)	OFF
   Windshield Wiper Switch (INT)	OFF
   Windshield Wiper Switch (MIST)	OFF

   Has the data list value changed from ON to OFF?

   YES 

   Replace the windshield wiper/washer switch .

   NO 

   Go to step 3.

3. Shorted wire check (FR WIPER INT SW, FR WIPER HI SW, FR WIPER MIST SW lines)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Disconnect the following connector.

   Body control module connector D (40P) Body control module connector E (24P)

   -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Windshield wiper/washer switch 10P connector: disconnected Body control module connector D (40P): disconnected
   Test point 1	Body control module connector D (40P) No. 2
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Test point 1	Body control module connector D (40P) No. 3
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Test point 1	Body control module connector D (40P) No. 4
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short to ground in the wire.

   NO 

   The FR WIPER INT SW, FR WIPER HI SW, and FR WIPER MIST SW wires are OK. Faulty body control module; replace the body control module .

4. Shorted wire check (FR WIPER MIST SW to FR WIPER HI SW, FR WIPER HI SW to FR WIPER INT SW, FR WIPER MIST SW to FR WIPER INT SW lines)

   -1. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

   Windshield Wiper Switch (INT)	OFF
   Windshield Wiper Switch (MIST)	ON

   Are all data list values correct?

   YES 

   The FR WIPER MIST SW to FR WIPER HI SW, FR WIPER HI SW to FR WIPER INT SW, and FR WIPER MIST SW to FR WIPER INT SW wires are OK. Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections.

   NO 

   Repair a short in the wires.
