Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. With the scan tool, read the Body Control Module (BCM) DTCs and record on the repair order.

      Is the DTC active?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

      • The condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals and correct pin tension. If no problems are found, test complete.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  2. CHECK THE (W8) WIPER ON/OFF RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    NOTE:

    Make sure the Front Wiper Switch is off when performing this step.

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Remove the Wiper On/Off Relay from the Front Power Distribution Center (PDC).
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage between ground and the (W8) Wiper On/Off Relay Control circuit at the Wiper On/Off Relay cavity in the Front PDC.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to voltage in the (W8) Wiper On/Off Relay Control circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE (W8) WIPER ON/OFF RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the BCM C1/A harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (W8) Wiper On/Off Relay Control circuit between the BCM C1/A harness connector and the Wiper On/Off Relay cavity in the Front PDC.

      Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the open in the (W8) Wiper On/Off Relay Control circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK THE BCM 
    1. Reconnect the BCM C/1A harness connector.
    2. Turn the ignition on.
    3. Turn the Front Wiper Switch to the low speed.
      NOTE:

      The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

    4. With a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (W8) Wiper On/Off Relay Control circuit at the Wiper On/Off Relay cavity in the Front PDC.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      No
