High Speed Operation
When the wiper switch is in the high speed position, ground is applied through the windshield wiper switch high signal circuit to the body control module (BCM) indicating the wiper high speed request. In response to this signal, the BCM then energizes the WPR relay, as stated above, and the WPR HI relay by applying ground through the control circuit to the coil side of the relay. With the wiper high relay energized and its switch contacts closed to the high speed control circuit of the wiper motor, the motor will operate at high speed.
The wiper high speed relay can also be commanded ON/OFF by using a scan tool. However, before commanding the wiper motor high speed mode ON/OFF using a scan tool, the WPR relay must be energized by placing the wiper switch in the low speed position. Refer to Control Module References .
