Circuit/System Testing
Windshield Washer Switch Circuit Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the turn signal/multifunction switch.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the low reference circuit terminal M and ground
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Windshield Washer Switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal L for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal L and the low reference circuit terminal M. Verify the scan tool Windshield Washer Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.
Windshield Wash Relay Control Circuit Test
- Verify that a test lamp connected to battery voltage illuminates when connected to the windshield and rear window wash fuses in the underhood fuse block.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate at both fuses replace the underhood fuse block.
- Disconnect the X4 harness connector at the BCM.
- Verify that the windshield washer pump turns on when a fused jumper wire is connected between the relay control circuit terminal 15 and ground.
- If the windshield washer pump does not turn on, test the relay control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the underhood fuse block.
- If the circuits test normal replace the BCM.
Rear Window Wash Relay Control Circuit Test
- Verify that a test lamp connected to battery voltage illuminates when connected to the windshield and rear window wash fuses in the underhood fuse block.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate at both fuses replace the underhood fuse block.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the rear window wiper motor module.
- Connect a test lamp between the switch signal circuit terminal E and ground.
- Ignition ON, press and release the rear window washer switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear window wiper/washer switch.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear window wiper/washer switch.
- Verify that the rear window washer pump turns on when a fused jumper wire is connected between the relay control circuit terminal C and ground.
- If the rear window washer pump does not turn on, test the relay control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the underhood fuse block.
- If the circuits test normal replace the rear window wiper motor module.
Washer Pump Control Circuit Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the washer fluid pump.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If circuits test normal, replace the underhood fuse block.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If circuits test normal, replace the underhood fuse block.
- Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal 1 and control circuit terminal 2.
- Ignition ON, operate the windshield and rear window wash functions on and off. The test lamp should turn ON when operating the windshield and rear window wash functions on.
- If the test lamp remains OFF during either of the wash functions, test for a short to ground on either control circuit. If the circuits test normal, replace the underhood fuse block.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the washer fluid pump.
