Component Testing

Multifunction Switch

  1. Disconnect the X1 harness connector at the multifunction switch.
  2. With the wiper switch in the HIGH position, test for less than 2 Ω between the low reference terminal 7 and the signal terminal 5 (without N38) or terminal 9 (with N38).
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the windshield wiper washer switch.
  3. While cycling the wiper switch through each delay and speed position, test for the specified resistance between the low reference terminal 7 and the signal terminal 4 (without N38) or terminal 10 (with N38).
NOTE:

If the switch tests open in any switch position other than Off, test the signal circuits for a short to voltage before replacing the switch.

Mist 300 - 364 Ω
Delay 1 3.48k - 4.25k Ω
Delay 2 2.52k - 3.08k Ω
Delay 3 1.78k - 2.18k Ω
Delay 4 1.17k - 1.44k Ω
Delay 5 697 - 851 Ω
Low 300 - 364 Ω
High 300 - 364 Ω

Windshield Wiper Motor

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the windshield wiper motor.
  2. Install a 25 A fused jumper wire between the control terminal 2 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between the ground terminal 4 and ground.
  3. Verify the wiper motor is operating in the low speed mode.
    • If the wiper motor is not in the low speed mode, replace the windshield wiper motor.
  4. Install a 25 A fused jumper wire between the control terminal 1 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between the ground terminal 4 and ground.
  5. Verify the wiper motor is operating in the high speed mode.
    • If the wiper motor is not in the high speed mode, replace the windshield wiper motor.
