Front Wiper And Washer System: Notes

A front wiper and washer system is standard factory-installed safety equipment on this model. The front wiper and washer system is an electrically operated intermittent system that utilizes major components:

• Body Control Module  - The Body Control Module (BCM) is located on the bulkhead under the driver side end of the instrument panel. (Refer to ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES ).
• Front Check Valve  - The front washer system check valve is integral to the wye (Y) fitting located on the underside of the hood panel.
• Front Washer Nozzle  - Two fluidic front washer nozzles are secured with integral snap features to dedicated openings in the hood panel, toward the rearward edge.
• Front Washer Plumbing  - The plumbing for the front washer system consists of rubber hoses and molded plastic fittings. The plumbing is routed along the right side of the engine compartment from the washer reservoir, and up to the hood panel to the front washer nozzle fittings.
• Front Washer Pump/Motor  - The front washer pump/motor unit is located in a dedicated hole on the lower outboard side of the washer reservoir, behind the inner fender liner ahead of the left front wheel.
• Front Wiper Arm  - The two front wiper arms are secured with nuts to the threaded studs on the ends of the two wiper pivot shafts, which extend through the cowl plenum cover/grille panel located near the base of the windshield.
• Front Wiper Blade  - The two front wiper blades are secured to the two front wiper arms with an integral latch, and are parked on the glass near the bottom of the windshield when the front wiper system is not in operation.
• Front Wiper Module  - The front wiper pivot shafts are the only visible components of the front wiper module. The remainder of the module is concealed within the cowl plenum beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille panel. The front wiper module includes the wiper module bracket, four rubber-isolated wiper module mounts, the front wiper motor, the wiper motor crank arm, the two wiper drive links, and the two front wiper pivots.
• Right Multi-Function Switch  - The right (wiper) multi-function switch is secured to the right side of the multi-function switch mounting housing near the top of the steering column, just below the steering wheel. Only the control stalk for the right multi-function switch is visible, while the remainder of the switch is concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The right multi-function switch contains all of the switches and control circuitry for both the front and rear wiper and washer systems.
• Washer Reservoir  - The washer reservoir is concealed between the left inner fender shield and the left outer fender panel, behind the inner fender liner and ahead of the left front wheel. The washer reservoir filler neck is the only visible portion of the reservoir, and it is accessed from the left front corner of the engine compartment.
