Circuit/System Description
The heated washer nozzle module monitors the temperature of the washer fluid, heats the washer fluid when requested, and signals the Body Control Module (BCM) at the appropriate time to activate the washer system. It also provides a low side drive communication output to the display system in order to provide the customer both button activation feedback and system status feedback.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Ignition ON. |
| • | The system voltage is between 9 V and 16 V. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A short to ground or an open/high resistance is detected in the washer fluid heater enable circuit.

Circuit/System Verification
Command the heated washer ON by using the S78 Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch. Verify the K 80 Heated Washer Nozzle Module activates.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K 80 Heated Washer Nozzle Module.
- Test for more than 500 kΩ between the enable circuit X2 terminal 6 and ground.
| ⇒ | If less than the specified value, test the enable circuit for an short to ground |
| ⇒ | If all circuits test normal, test or replace the K9 Body Control Module (BCM). |
Component Testing
Output Control Test
- Ignition ON, command the K80 Heated Washer Nozzle Module ON and OFF with a scan tool. Observe the K80 Heated Washer Nozzle Module activates.
| ⇒ | If the K80 Heated Washer Nozzle Module does not activate, replace the K80 Heated Washer Nozzle Module. |
