Wash Operation

When the windshield Wash switch is pressed, ground is applied through the switch contacts and the windshield washer switch signal circuit to the body control module (BCM) indicating the windshield wash request. The BCM then energizes the WPR relay, as stated above, and the WSH relay by applying ground through the control circuit to the coil side of the relay. With the wash relay energized, battery voltage from the WPR fuse is applied through the switch side of the relay and out to the control circuit of the windshield washer fluid pump. The wiper motor will operate for 2 wipe cycles after the wash switch is released.

The WSH relay can also be commanded ON/OFF by using a scan tool. Refer to Control Module References .
