Circuit/System Testing

DTC B3715

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the KR12B Windshield Wiper Relay. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 85 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF/Vehicle OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON/Vehicle in Service Mode. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 86 and the ground circuit terminal 85.
  4. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Windshield Wiper Motor Relay On and Off with a scan tool.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF 
    1. Ignition OFF/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp and disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If the test lamp is always ON 
    1. Ignition OFF/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp and disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON/vehicle in Service Mode.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit 16 X4 and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If the test lamp turns ON and OFF 
  5. Test or replace the KR12B Windshield Wiper Relay.

DTC B3875

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the KR12C Windshield Wiper Speed Control Relay.
  2. Verify a test lamp Illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 85 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate 

      Replace the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood.

    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  3. Ignition ON/Vehicle in Service Mode. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 86 and the B+ circuit terminal 85.
  4. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Windshield Wiper Motor Relay High and Stop with a scan tool.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF 
    1. Ignition OFF/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the X5 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON/vehicle in Service Mode.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal 24 X5 and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    3. Ignition OFF/Vehicle OFF.
    4. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If the test lamp is always ON 
    1. Ignition OFF/Vehicle OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the X5 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal 24 X5 and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
    • If the test lamp turns ON and OFF 
  5. Test or replace the KR12C Windshield Wiper Speed Control Relay.
