Section 129 (Wiper System & Washer System (Service Information)): Description: Headlamp

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Journey and 2015 Dodge Journey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

An electrically operated headlamp washer system is optional factory-installed equipment on this vehicle when it is manufactured for certain export markets. The headlamp washer system includes the following major components, which are described in further detail elsewhere in this service information:

Body Control Module - The Body Control Module (BCM) (also known as the Common Body Controller/CBC) is located beneath the instrument panel on the passenger side of the vehicle. Refer to MODULE, BODY CONTROL, DESCRIPTION .
Headlamp Washer Nozzle - A headlamp washer nozzle is secured to the front fascia beneath each front lamp unit.
Headlamp Washer Pump/Motor - The electric headlamp washer pump/motor unit is located in a dedicated hole on the rearward facing side of the washer reservoir, on the left side of the cooling module in the engine compartment. This high pressure pump is located above and to the left of the reversible front and rear washer pump/motor unit on the reservoir.
Headlamp Washer Plumbing - The plumbing for the headlamp washer system consists of large diameter rubber hoses and molded plastic fittings. The plumbing is routed to the washer nozzles on the front fascia from the washer reservoir. The connections at the headlamp washer pump and the two headlamp washer nozzles feature unique quick-connect fittings.
Multifunction Switch (6) - The multifunction switch is located on the steering column, just below the steering wheel. Only the switch control stalk extending from the left side of the steering column is visible, while the remainder of the switch is concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The multifunction switch provides all of the driver controls for both the front and rear wiper and washer systems.
Steering Angle Sensor - The Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) is integral to the clockspring. The SAS is a Local Interface Network (LIN) master node and a gateway to the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. Refer to SENSOR, STEERING WHEEL ANGLE, DESCRIPTION .
Steering Control Module - The Steering Control Module (SCM) is located within the multifunction switch housing on the top of the steering column, just below the steering wheel. Refer to MODULE, STEERING COLUMN, DESCRIPTION .
Washer Reservoir - A unique washer reservoir is used on vehicles with the optional headlamp washer system, which has dedicated provisions for the headlamp washer pump and plumbing. This reservoir is mounted in the same location and using the same mounting hardware as is used for vehicles without the headlamp washers. The reservoir is located on the left side of the cooling module in the engine compartment.

Hard wired circuitry connects the headlamp washer system components to the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system and to the headlamp washer system components through the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, further details on wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin out and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
