Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) monitors the wiper high speed relay control circuit only when wiper high speed mode is active. When the wiper high speed mode is requested, the BCM responds by applying a ground through the wiper high speed relay control circuit to the coil side of the relay, energizing the WPR HI relay.
Conditions for Running the DTC
This DTC can set only when the output is actively being requested by the BCM.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
This DTC sets if the BCM detects a short to B+ in the wiper high speed relay control circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM will not activate the output.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The current DTC will become history when the request for the output is removed or when the condition for setting the fault is corrected. |
| • | The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present. |

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, wiper switch in the HIGH position. Verify the windshield wipers are cycling at the high speed.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, remove the WPR HI relay from the underhood fuse block.
- Connect a test lamp between B+ and the control circuit terminal 86.
- Ignition ON, command the Wiper High Speed Relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the WPR HI relay.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the BCM. |
Component Testing
Relay Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the WPR HI relay.
- Test for 60-200 ohms between terminals 85 and 86.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
- Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87A.
- Install a 10A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87.
| ⇒ | If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the relay. |
| • | 30 and 86 |
| • | 30 and 87 |
| • | 30 and 85 |
| • | 85 and 87 |
| ⇒ | If not the specified value, replace the relay. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the relay. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the relay. |
