Windshield Wiper Test 2A - Wipers Not Working At All

NOTE: Perform WINDSHIELD WIPER TEST 1A  before proceeding with this test. For connector terminal identification, refer to CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION  . For wiring diagrams, refer to WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Perform, after each repair, TEST VER-1A - VERIFICATION PROCEDURE  .
CAUTION: Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to disconnecting or connecting any module connector.
  1. Using scan tool, actuate wipers in low speed mode. If wiper motor does not operate in low speed mode, go to next step. If wiper motor operates in low speed mode, go to WINDSHIELD WIPER TEST 2B  .
  2. Using scan tool, stop wipers low speed actuation and actuate wipers in high speed mode. If wiper motor does not operate in high speed mode, stop wipers actuation and go to next step. If wiper motor operates in high speed mode, go to WINDSHIELD WIPER TEST 2B  .
  3. Using scan tool, read intermittent wipe sensor. While observing scan tool, move wiper switch from OFF position to HI position. If scan tool displays INTRMT WIPE: 0V, go to next step. If scan tool displays INTRMT WIPE: with voltage reading, go to WINDSHIELD WIPER TEST 2D  .
  4. Locate Power Distribution Center (PDC) on left front fender. Remove and inspect wiper fuse No. 14 (40-amp). See Fig 1 . If fuse is okay, go to next step. If fuse is open, go to WINDSHIELD WIPER TEST 2C  .
  5. Using external voltmeter, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 47 on fuse No. 14 socket. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open Red wire between battery and wiper fuse No. 14.
  6. Reinstall wiper fuse No. 14. Disconnect intermittent wiper relay and ensure connector is clean and not damaged. Using external voltmeter, measure voltage between ground and terminal "B" (Red/Gray wire) on intermittent wiper relay socket. See Fig 1 . If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open in Red/Gray wire between wiper fuse No. 14 and intermittent wiper relay.
  7. Connect a jumper wire between intermittent wiper relay socket terminals "A" and "B". See Fig 1 . If wiper motor operates, disconnect jumper wire and go to WINDSHIELD WIPER TEST 2D  . If wiper motor does not operate, go to next step.
  8. Disconnect wiper HI/LO relay, located in PDC. Ensure connector is clean and not damaged. Ensure jumper wire is still connected between intermittent wiper relay terminals "A" and "B". Using external voltmeter, measure voltage between ground and terminal "A" (Dark Green/Violet wire) on wiper HI/LO relay. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open in Dark Green/Violet wire between intermittent and HI/LO relays.
  9. Disconnect jumper wire in intermittent relay terminal. Connect a jumper wire between terminal "B" (Red/Gray wire) on intermittent relay and terminal "D" (Brown/Orange wire) on wiper HI/LO relay. If wiper motor operates in low speed mode, replace wiper HI/LO relay. If wiper motor does not operate in low speed mode, go to WINDSHIELD WIPER TEST 2E  .
