Component Testing

Turn Signal Multifunction Switch

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the turn signal multifunction switch.
  2. With the wiper switch in the HIGH position, test for less than 2 Ω between the low reference terminal M and the signal terminal K.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the windshield wiper washer switch.
  3. 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.

  4. While cycling the wiper switch through each delay and speed position, test for the specified resistance between the low reference terminal M and the signal terminal N.

Windshield Wiper Motor Dynamic Test

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