Circuit/System Description


The body control module (BCM) controls the windshield wiper motor based on inputs from the windshield wiper/washer switch, and when intermittent mode is selected, the rain/ambient light sensor module. The BCM monitors the windshield wiper/washer switch through two separate signal circuits and a low reference circuit. The windshield wiper/washer switch utilizes resistive multiplexing to signal a low speed and intermittent operation request to the BCM while a separate discrete signal circuit is used to indicate a high speed wiper request. When the wiper switch is placed in the low speed or intermittent position, the BCM monitors the voltage drop, which changes dependent upon switch position, over an internal pulled high resistor. The BCM will respond by commanding on the low speed or intermittent wipers. With the windshield wiper/washer switch in the high speed position, the BCM's high speed signal circuit is pulled low. The BCM will respond by commanding the windshield wiper motor to operate at high speed via serial data.

Conditions for Running the DTC


image The DTC runs only when a wiper output is actively being requested by the BCM. image The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC


image A short to ground is detected in the front wiper relay control circuit or in the high speed relay control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The BCM will not activate the wiper output.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

image A current DTC will clear when the condition for setting the fault is no longer present. image A history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.

1. Low washer fluid message always displayed

2. Low washer fluid message never displayed

Circuit/System Description


The check washer fluid message is controlled by the instrument cluster using signal from the Windshield Washer Fluid level Sensor. The washer fluid level signal circuit is supplied voltage through a resistor then monitored within the instrument cluster. The Windshield Washer Fluid level Sensor is normally open so the instrument cluster detects voltage on the Windshield Washer Fluid level Sensor signal circuit whenever the washer fluid level sensor is low. When the washer fluid reaches the point where the driver should be informed that the washer fluid is low, the washer fluid level sensor closes. When the washer fluid level sensor is closed the washer fluid level signal circuit voltage is pulled low, and the instrument cluster displays the Adding Washer Fluid message on the driver information center. In order to prevent the Adding Washer Fluid message from being displayed while sloshing is occurring in the washer fluid container, the instrument cluster is programed with a 1 min delay before changing states of the check washer fluid message during an ignition cycle.

2. Windshield Washer Pump Always ON

3. Windshield Washer Pump Inoperative


Circuit/System Description


The windshield washer pump is controlled by the body control module (BCM) via a printed circuit board (PCB) relay. When the washer switch is depressed, the BCM's internally pulled high resistor is pulled low by the washer request circuit. The BCM then applies voltage through a control circuit to the PCB windshield washer pump relay. With the relay energized, fused battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts of the relay and the control circuit to activate the windshield washer fluid pump.

WINDSHIELD GLASS CLEANING

Exterior


Clean the windshield with windshield cleaner, GM P/N 19287404 (18 oz.) or 19259280 (6 oz.) (Canadian P/N 88865156) or equivalent. The cleaner should not harm the paint finish or scratch the glass. The glass is clean when the water no longer beads, but sheets across the entire glass surface.

Interior


The interior glass should be cleaned with plain water only applied with a clean terry cloth towel. Water only eliminates any film or haze on the window and helps prevent fogging.

WIPER BLADE ELEMENT CLEANING

Lift each blade assembly off of the windshield and clean the element with a cloth saturated with full strength washer solvent. Hold the blade in one hand and wipe the element with the saturated cloth until the black residue disappears. Then rinse the blade assembly elements with clean drinkable water.

WIPER CHATTER REPAIR

Some vehicles may exhibit a condition where the windshield wipers chatter and/or wipe unevenly. Several items may contribute to this condition. To completely repair this condition, ALL of the items listed should be inspected and corrected as necessary.

1. Inspect the wiper blade element set. Refer to Wiper Blade Element Check

2. Clean the wiper blade elements. Refer to Wiper Blade Element Cleaning

3. Clean the windshield. Refer to Windshield Glass Cleaning

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Wiper/Washer System Components

The wiper/washer system consists of the following electrical components: image Windshield Washer Pump Relay

Windshield Wiper System


The body control module (BCM) controls the wiper motor based on an input from the wiper switch, and when wiper operation is requested, the BCM will send serial data messages to the windshield wiper motor module. The front wiper system consists of a driver's side and passenger's side wiper arm which are connected by a mechanical linkage driven by the windshield wiper motor module. The windshield wiper motor module contains the necessary electronics, motor, and position sensors to execute front wiper commands from the BCM. The windshield wiper motor module clears the front windshield by controlling the up and down wiper arm movement by the use of a reversing motor and an internal position sensor. The sensor keeps track of the gear wheel position and when the windshield wiper motor module determines that the wiper arms are at a position to reverse direction, it reverses the motor supply voltage by use of its internal motor control circuitry. The BCM communicates with the windshield wiper motor module through serial data. The windshield wiper motor module provides system status and diagnostic information to the BCM for diagnostic reporting and operational purposes.

The BCM utilizes resistive multiplexing through the wiper switch to discern the requested action from the driver. The BCM will respond by commanding the specific wiper function to operate as follows:

1. Using intermittent wipes, the wipers pause briefly on the windshield. If the wiper level is moved to OFF or if additional wipes are not required, the wipers may move to the base of the windshield.

2. If the ignition is put in OFF while the wipers are on LO, HI, or INT, they will immediately stop.

3. If the ignition is put in OFF while the wipers are performing wipes due to windshield washing, the wipers continue to run until they reach the base of the windshield.

4. the wipe delay interval is a function of the INTERMITTENT Delay Interval Switch setting. When

enabled, the Intermittent with Speed feature affects each of the 5 normal Intermittent Delay Intervals as a function of vehicle Speed. The Delay Intervals shall be biased to a shorter delay period with faster vehicle speeds and to a longer delay period with a slower vehicle speed.

The windshield wiper system MIST operation is identical to LOW speed operation, except that the MIST switch is a press and release type switch. When the wiper switch is moved to the MIST position (1X) and released, low speed wiper motor operation is started and will continue until 1 cycle is complete. If the wiper switch is moved to the MIST position and held, the wiper motor will operate in the LOW speed mode until the switch is released.

To initiate high speed wiping operation, the BCM provides continuous high speed wiper operation through setting the serial data signal to high speed Wipe. When the wiper switch lever is moved to the high position (HI) and released, high speed wiper motor operation is started and high speed wiping operation is performed.

Windshield Washer System


The windshield washer pump is controlled by the body control module (BCM) via a printed circuit board (PCB) relay. When the washer switch is depressed, the BCM's internally pulled high resistor is pulled low by the washer request circuit. The BCM then applies voltage through a control circuit to the PCB windshield washer

pump relay. With the relay energized, fused battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts of the relay and the control circuit to activate the windshield washer fluid pump.
