Circuit/System Description

The windshield washer function is controlled by the body control module. When the washer switch is pressed, low reference is applied through the switch contacts and the signal circuit to the body control module indicating the wash request. The body control module then applies voltage through the control circuit to the coil side of the windshield washer pump relay energizing the relay. With the relay energized, battery voltage from the fuse is applied through the switch contacts of the relay and the control circuit to the windshield washer fluid pump.
