Pinpoint Test C: Wiper System Faults - Circuit And Electrical Checks
- C1: CHECK FOR WIPER PARK SIGNAL CIRCUIT ISSUES
- Check if the wiper motor fault is related to a fault with the wiper park signal circuit
During the functional/enhanced tests, do the wipers initially operate normally and then stop working after 6 seconds?
Yes
Check the wiper park signal circuit GO to C2.
No
Check the wiper motor connector GO to C3.
- C2: WIPER PARK SIGNAL CIRCUIT CHECKS
- Refer to the electrical circuit diagrams and check the signals from the front wiper park switch circuit (input to body control module pin C3BP01HD-19). The signal should toggle between ground (when the wipers are in the park position) and a value between 11-14 volts (when the wipers are in any other position)
Is the wiper park signal present and behaving as expected?
Yes
Consult the symptom chart below and perform any appropriate corrective actions. If the fault returns, contact the JLR Service Helpdesk
No
Check the wiper motor connector GO to C3.
- C3: WIPER MOTOR CONNECTOR CHECKS
- Uncouple the connector to the wiper motor assembly and check for corroded or poorly positioned pins
Is there any evidence of damaged, bent or corroded pins?
Yes
Rectify as required. Re-couple the connector and perform wiper motor functional tests GO to PINPOINT TEST B .
No
Check the wiper motor power supply and ground circuits GO to C4.
- C4: WIPER MOTOR POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT CHECKS
- Refer to the electrical circuit diagrams and check the wiper motor ground circuit for open circuit, high resistance (resistance should be less than 0.05 ohms
- Refer to the electrical circuit diagrams and check the wiper motor slow wipe power supply circuit (between the wiper motor assembly pins 2 and 4) for short circuits or open circuit, high resistance
- Refer to the electrical circuit diagrams and check the wiper motor fast wipe power supply circuit (between the wiper motor assembly pins 1 and 4) for short circuits or open circuit, high resistance
Are the wiper motor power and ground circuits intact and operating as expected?
Yes
Replace the wiper motor assembly
No
Repair circuit(s) as required and retest. If the fault persists, contact the JLR Service Helpdesk
