Front Wiper Park Switch Sense Circuit High

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When Monitored:

Set Condition:

Possible Causes:

CAUTION: Always turn ignition off before disconnecting or connecting any control module connector. Failure to do so could result in damage to control module.
NOTE: Ensure vehicle being tested has a fully charged battery. If it does not, false DTCs or error messages may occur.
NOTE: For component location, see appropriate illustration under COMPONENT LOCATIONS  . For terminal identification, see appropriate illustration under CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION  . For circuit and wire color identification, see WIRING DIAGRAMS  . For component removal and installation procedures, see appropriate component under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION  .

Testing:

  1. Turn ignition off. Connect DRBIII(R) to DLC. Turn ignition on. Using the DRBIII(R), erase DTCs. Cycle the ignition off, then on, leaving ignition on for at least 15 seconds. Operate wiper system in all modes. Using the DRBIII(R), read DTCs. Does this DTC reset? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step  13 .
  2. Using the DRBIII(R), erase DTCs. Cycle the ignition off, then on, leaving ignition on for at least 15 seconds. Substitute a known-good relay in place of Front Wiper Relay in the PDC. Operate front wiper system in all modes. Using the DRBIII(R), read DTCs. Does this DTC reset? If yes, go to next step. If no, replace Front Wiper Relay. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS. If no, go to next step.
  3. Place Front Wipers in park position. Using the DRBIII(R), erase DTCs. Turn ignition off. Disconnect Front Wiper Motor harness connector. Measure resistance between Front Wiper Motor terminals No. 2 and 4 (component side). Is resistance more than 5 ohms? If yes, replace Front Wiper Motor. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS. If no, go to next step.
  4. Place Front Wipers in intermittent position. Disconnect Front Wiper (Multifunction) Switch harness connector. Measure resistance between Multifunction Switch terminals No. 14 and 15 (component side). Is resistance more than 5 ohms? If yes, replace Multifunction Switch. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS. If no, go to next step.
  5. Measure resistance between Front Wiper Motor harness connector terminal No. 5 and Multifunction Switch harness connector terminals No. 15 and 17. Is resistance more than 5 ohms? If yes, repair open in the Front Wiper Motor Low Driver circuit. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS. If no, go to next step.
  6. Reconnect Multifunction Switch harness connector. Measure resistance between ground and Front Wiper Motor harness connector terminal No. 4 . Is resistance more than 5 ohms? If yes, repair open in the Front Wiper Motor Ground circuit. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS. If no, go to next step.
  7. Disconnect CTM harness connectors. Measure resistance between Front Wiper Motor harness connector terminal No. 2 and CTM C3 harness connector terminal No. 10. Is resistance more than 5 ohms? If yes, repair open in the Front Wiper Park Switch Sense circuit. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS. If no, go to next step.
  8. Reconnect the Front Wiper Motor harness connector. Remove Front Wiper Relay from PDC. Measure resistance between CTM C3 harness connector terminal No. 11 and Front Wiper Relay harness connector terminal No. 87A. Is resistance more than 5 ohms? If yes, repair open in the Wiper Park Switch Sense circuit. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS. If no, go to next step.
  9. Disconnect Front Wiper (Multifunction) Switch harness connector. Measure resistance between Multifunction Switch harness connector terminal No. 14 and Front Wiper Relay harness connector terminal No. 30. Is resistance more than 5 ohms? If yes, repair open in the Front Wiper Relay Signal circuit. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS. If no, go to next step.
  10. Install the Front Wiper Relay. Reconnect the Multifunction Switch harness connector. Disconnect the Front Wiper Motor harness connector. Disconnect the CTM harness connectors. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage on Front Wiper Motor harness connector terminal No. 2. Is voltage more than 5 volts? If yes, repair Front Wiper Park Switch Sense circuit for a short to voltage. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS. If no, go to next step.
  11. Turn ignition off. Reconnect the Front Wiper Motor harness connector. Remove Front Wiper Relay. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage on Front Wiper Relay harness connector terminal No. 87A. Is voltage more than 5 volts? If yes, repair Front Wiper Switch Sense circuit for a short to voltage. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS. If no, go to next step.
  12. If there are no possible causes remaining, replace CTM. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  13. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time. Problem may be intermittent. Visually inspect related wiring harnesses for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires. Visually inspect related harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Wiggle related wiring harnesses while checking for shorts or open circuits. Repair as necessary. After repair, perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
