Circuit/System Description
The Body Control Module (BCM) monitors the windshield wiper/washer switch low signal circuit. When the wiper switch is placed in the low position, battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts, a series of resistors, and the wiper switch low signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM then applies battery voltage through the wiper relay control circuit to energize the WIPER LO relay. When energized, battery voltage from the FRT WPR fuse is applied through the switch side of the WIPER LO relay then through the switch side of the WIPER HIGH relay to the windshield wiper motor.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Battery voltage is between 9 and 16 Volts.
The low speed BCM output is actively being requested.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a short to ground or open high resistance on the BCM Fuse F9 B+ circuit.
The BCM detects a short to ground on the windshield wiper switch low speed signal circuit with wiper switch in OFF position and ignition in the OFF position.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The BCM will not activate the low speed output. |
| • | The windshield wipers will only operate in the delay and high speed modes. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The DTC will clear the current status when the condition for setting the fault is corrected. |
| • | A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present. |

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Windshield Wiper Switch parameter while rotating the wiper switch. The reading should change between Off, Intermittent, Low and High.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the BCM.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 3 and ground
- Connect the X3 harness connector at the BCM, disconnect the harness connector at the windshield wiper/washer switch.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Windshield Wiper Switch parameter is Off.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the windshield wiper/washer switch.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 7 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Component Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the windshield wiper/washer switch.
- With the wiper switch in the HIGH position, test for less than 2 ohms between the low reference terminal 8 and the signal terminal 4.
- While cycling the wiper switch through each delay and speed position, test for the specified resistance between the low reference terminal 8 and the signal terminal 7.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the windshield wiper/washer switch. |
Important: If the switch tests open in any switch position other than Off, test the signal circuits for a short to voltage before replacing the switch.
Switch Position | Resistance |
|---|---|
Off | Infinite |
Mist | 300-364 Ω |
Delay 1 | 3.48k-4.25k Ω |
Delay 2 | 2.52k-3.08k Ω |
Delay 3 | 1.78k-2.18k Ω |
Delay 4 | 1.17k-1.44k Ω |
Delay 5 | 697-851 Ω |
Low | 300-364 Ω |
High | 300-364 Ω |
| ⇒ | If any switch position is not within the specified range, replace the windshield wiper/washer switch. |
