WIPERS/WASHERS
WIPER SYSTEM
The wiper/washer switch (6) is mounted on the right side of the on the steering
column, behind the steering wheel. The wiper/washer switch a resistive multiplexed
network that provides input to the SCM. The SCM then sends a LIN message to the
CCN. The CCN then sends a CAN message to the TIPM. The TIPM controls the
wipers and washer directly. The SCM then sends a LIN message to the CCN. The
CCN then sends a CAN message to the TIPM. The TIPM controls the wipers and
washer directly. The wiper system has LOW, HIGH, and INTERMITTENT switch
positions. The intermittent wiper system, in addition to low and high speeds, has a
delay mode and a pulse wipe mode. The intermittent wiper function is integral to
the wiper switch. The wiper switch also includes the MIST feature which provides a

This vehicle is equipped with an electrically operated windshield washer pump. The
washers are operated by a switch in the right multi-function switch control lever.
WIPERS/WASHERS
WIPER SYSTEM
Move the control lever up to select the desired wiper speed. Move the lever upward
to the second detent for Low speed wiper operation or to the third detent for High
speed operation.
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle,
with a variable pause between cycles, desirable. Move the lever to the DEL
position, then select the delay interval by turning the end of the lever. The delay can
be regulated from a maximum of approximately 18 ± 0.5 seconds between cycles,
to a cycle every second ± 0.5 second.
The windshield wipers will only operate with the ignition switch in the
ACCESSORY or IGNITION RUN position. The wiper circuit is protected against
over loads by a fuse in the junction block. This protects the circuitry of the wiper
system and the vehicle. The wiper motor has permanent magnet fields.

The intermittent wiper delay mode has a range of 1 ± 0.5 to 18 ± 0.5 seconds. Pulse
wipe is accomplished by holding stalk lever in the WASH position momentarily.
The wiper blades then sweep twice after the WASH at low speed and then return to
the previous wiper switch mode.
The wiper system completes the wipe cycle when the switch is turned OFF. The
blades park in the lowest portion of the wipe pattern.
Push down on the wiper lever to activate a single wipe to clear off road mist or
spray from a passing vehicle. As long as the lever is held down, the wipers will
continue to operate.
WASHER SYSTEM
To use the washer, pull the stalk lever toward you and hold while spray is desired.
If the stalk lever is pulled while in the delay range, the wiper will operate for two
wipe cycles (± 1) after the stalk lever is released and then resume the intermittent
interval previously selected.
The wash function can be accessed in the OFF position of the wiper control switch.
Pulling the washer stalk lever rearward when the switch is in the OFF position will
operate the wipers and washer motor pump continuously until the stalk lever is
released. Releasing the stalk lever will stop the washer pump but the wipers will
complete the current wipe cycle followed by an average of two more wipe cycles (±
1) before the wipers park and the module turns off.
If the stalk lever is pulled while in the OFF position, the wipers will operate for two
wipe cycles, then turn OFF.
Fluid, gravity fed from the reservoir, is forced by the pump through rubber hoses to
the hood mounted nozzles which direct the fluid streams to the windshield.

Front Wiper Mist Mode - The right multi-function switch control stalk
includes momentary switching of the front wiper motor low speed circuit to
provide a mist mode features (sometimes referred to as pulse wipe), which
allows the vehicle operator to momentarily operate the front wipers for one or
more complete cycles.
Front Washer Mode - The right multi-function switch control stalk provides
momentary switching for control of the front washer system operation.
SWITCH-RIGHT MULTI-FUNCTION
If the SCM detects no inputs from the right multi-function switch, it transmits an
electronic Signal Not Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The
SNA status signals the EMIC to request other electronic modules to implement a
fail-safe mode of operation for the front and rear wiper systems. The fail-safe mode
will maintain the last selected front and rear wiper system operation for the
remainder of the current ignition cycle, after which both wiper systems will default
to OFF.

switch may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer
to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article. However, the most reliable, efficient
and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the use of a diagnostic scan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Following are descriptions of how the right multi-function switch is operated to
control the many front and rear wiper and washer system functions and features it
provides:
Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the right multi-function
switch control stalk is rotated to one of the two continuous wiper detents, to
one of five intermittent wiper detents or to the OFF position to select the front
wiper mode. The SCM reads the input from the right multi-function switch and
sends electronic wiper switch status messages over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic wiper switch request message over the CAN
data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
Front Wiper Mist Mode - The front wiper mist mode is requested when the
right multi-function switch control stalk is depressed downward towards the
floor to a momentary MIST position. The front wiper motor will continue to
operate, one complete cycle at a time, for as long as the control stalk is held in
this position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the right
multi-function switch and sends an electronic wiper switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic wiper switch
request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the
vehicle.
Front Washer Control - The right multi-function switch control stalk is
pulled rearward towards the steering wheel to a momentary WASH position to
activate the washer pump/motor in the front washer mode. The washer
pump/motor will continue to operate for as long as the control stalk is held in
this position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the right
multi-function switch and sends an electronic washer switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic washer switch
request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the
vehicle.

SWITCH-RIGHT MULTI-FUNCTION
The right multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the
switch may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer
to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article. However, conventional diagnostic
methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the Steering Control Module
(SCM) or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and
devices that provide some features of the front and rear wiper and washer systems.
The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the SCM or the
electronic controls and communication related to SCM operation requires the use of
a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
1. Remove the right multi-function switch from the integral mounting bracket on
the right side of the clockspring. See REMOVAL.
2. Using an ohmmeter, test the resistance between the terminals of the switch as
shown in the CONTROL STALK FUNCTION TEST and CONTROL
KNOB FUNCTION TEST tables. For all functions except those of the
control stalk the values should be either less than 100 ohms (switch CLOSED)
or greater than 1 megohm (switch OPEN).
3. If the switch fails any of the tests, replace the ineffective right multi-function
switch as required. If the switch tests okay, but the switch input to the Steering
Control Module (SCM) remains incorrect, be certain to check for a short or
open in the jumper harness between the right multi-function switch and the
SCM.

The headlamp washer system utilizes a separate high pressure pump that is attached
to the windshield washer reservoir. The headlamp washer pump feeds nozzles that
are mounted in the front fascia of the vehicle. The nozzles are aimed in front of the
headlamp assembly. These nozzles spray the headlamps when the system is
activated.
To activate the headlamp washers, turn ON the headlamps and then press the front
windshield washer control knob. This will operate the windshield washers and
direct one, timed high pressure sprays onto the headlamp lens.
