DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Wipers and Washers Printable View (426 KB)
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 81, Interval Wiper/Washer for schematic and connector information.
Special Tool(s)
73III Automotive Meter
105-R0057 or equivalent
Alternator, Regulator, Battery and Starter Tester (ARBST)
010-00725 or equivalent
Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS)
418-F224,
New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester
418-F052, or equivalent diagnostic tool with appropriate adapter cable
Principles of Operation
The front wipers and washer are controlled by the front electronic module (FEM). The front washer/wiper portion of the multifunction switch is hardwired to the FEM. When the switch is
moved to the desired position, the FEM processes this information and outputs the appropriate command(s) to one of several hardwired relays which control the front wiper motor speeds or
front washer pump actuation. Fault management of the front wiper provides limited front wiper functionality in the event of a failure of the front wiper/washer switch or an ignition switch
failure transmitted by the instrument cluster module.
The front washer pump is hardwired to the FEM which will actuate the pump when the front wiper/washer portion of the multifunction switch is moved to the wash position.
The rear wiper and washer are controlled by the FEM. The rear wiper/washer portion of the multifunction switch is hardwired to the FEM. When the switch is moved to the desired position,
the FEM processes this information and outputs the appropriate command(s) to a hardwired relay which controls the rear wiper motor speeds, and rear washer pump actuation.
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the wiper and washer.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.

3. If the diagnostic tool does not power up, refer to the diagnostic tool manual.
4. Carry out the diagnostic tool data link test. If the diagnostic tool responds with:
SCP or ISO; all electronic control units, no response/not equipped, refer to
No response/not equipped for FEM,
System passed, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the FEM.
5. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to Front Electronic Module (FEM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics.
6. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, proceed to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.
