SECTION 501-16: Wipers and Washers
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Wipers and Washers
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 81, Interval Wiper/Washer for schematic and connector information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 82, Liftgate Wiper/Washer for schematic and connector information.

Special Tool(s)

73 Digital Multimeter
105-R0051 or equivalent
Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS)
418-F224,
New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester
418-F052, or equivalent scan tool

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 scan tool does not power up, refer to the scan tool manual.
4. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If the scan tool responds with:
CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to
NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for FEM, go to Pinpoint Test A.
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 FEM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics.
6. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, proceed to Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.
