The body control module (BCM) controls the single speed rear wiper motor by its active high output to the external rear wiper motor relay. When the BCM activates its output and applies battery to the coil of the relay, the relay energizes, allowing battery voltage from the fuse to be applied through the switched contacts of the rear wiper motor relay to the control input of the rear wiper motor. The motor then operates continuously at low speed.
• | Ignition ON. |
• | The system voltage is between 9 V and 16 V. |
A short to ground or an open/high resistance is detected in the rear window wiper control circuit.
Rear wiper operation is suspended.
A current DTC clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
Wiper/Washer System Description and Operation
Control Module References for diagnostic tester information.
Operate the rear wiper by using the S78 Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch. Verify the M45 Rear Window Wiper Motor activates.
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module (BCM). |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module (BCM). |
⇒ | If the resistance is not within the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If all circuits test normal, test or replace the X50D Fuse Block - Underhood. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
