Pinpoint Test D: The Washer Pump Is Inoperative
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Milan, 2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2009 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- D1 CHECK THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH INPUT TO THE SJB - MONITOR SJB PID FRNWIPER_W
- Key in ON position.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: SJB DataLogger.
- Monitor the SJB PID FRNWIPER_W while moving the multi-function switch to the WASH position.
- Does the PID value agree with the multi-function switch position when WASH is selected?
- D2 CHECK THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Multi-function Switch C202
- Carry out the Multi-Function Switch Component Test. Refer to COMPONENT TESTING .
- Did the multi-function switch pass the component test?
- YES : Go to D3.
- NO : INSTALL a new multi-function switch. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES article. TEST the system for normal operation.
- D3 CHECK CIRCUIT CRW07 (GY/BN) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: SJB C2280d
- Key in OFF position.
- Measure the resistance between multi-function switch C202-10, circuit CRW07 (GY/BN), harness side and SJB C2280d-31, circuit CRW07 (GY/BN), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- YES : Go to D6.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- D4 CHECK CIRCUIT GD123 (BK/GY) FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Washer Pump C137
- Measure the resistance between washer pump C137-2, circuit GD123 (BK/GY), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- YES : Go to D5.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- D5 CHECK CIRCUIT CRW14 (BU/WH) FOR VOLTAGE
- Key in ON position.
- While activating the front washer pump using the multi-function switch, measure the voltage between windshield washer pump C137-1, circuit CRW14 (BU/WH), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- YES : INSTALL a new windshield washer pump. REFER to WASHER PUMP . TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : VERIFY SJB fuse 14 (15A) is OK. If OK, go to D6. If not OK, REFER to the appropriate Wiring Diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.
- D6 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION
- Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion.
- pushed-out pins.
- Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- YES : INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES article. TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
