The wiper motors receive inputs from the following:

 Multi-function switch
 PCM
 Smart junction box (SJB)
 Battery junction box (BJB)

The following components are integrated in the wiper motors:

 Windshield wiper motor module


 Run/park relay
 High/low speed relay
 Run/park sense (Hall-effect)
 Washer pump relay

High-Speed Windshield Wipers

When the multi-function switch is set to the high-speed position, it supplies ground to the integral high/low
speed relay coil and the integral run/park relay coil, which causes the windshield wiper motor to operate at high
speed. During high-speed operation only, both the integral high/low-speed relay coil ground and the integral
run/park relay coil ground are controlled directly by the multi-function switch. This differs from low speed or
intermittent operation when the integral run/park relay coil is controlled by the microprocessor. When the
switch is placed in the OFF position, the motor continues to operate until the motor returns to the PARK
position and the internal Hall-effect sensor senses the motor magnet. The output to the integral run/park relay
deactivates the relay and disconnects the voltage to the motor.

Since the integral high/low relay coil and the integral run/park relay coil are both controlled by a hard wired
circuit to the multi-function switch, the windshield wipers will still operate in high speed mode if the internal
windshield wiper module fails, but will not automatically park when the multi-function switch is turned to the
OFF position.

Low-Speed Windshield Wipers

When the multi-function switch is set to the low-speed position, it supplies ground to the internal windshield
wiper motor module low-speed inputs and the windshield wiper motor operates at low speed. During low-speed
operation, the integral run/park relay is activated by the microprocessor and supplies 12 volts to the low-speed
brush of the windshield wiper motor. The integral run/park relay coil ground is controlled by the internal
windshield wiper motor module based on inputs received from the multi-function switch. When the switch is
placed in the OFF position, the motor continues to operate until the motor returns to the PARK position and the
internal Hall-effect sensor senses the motor magnet. The output to the integral run/park relay deactivates the
relay and disconnects the voltage to the motor.

Since the integral run/park relay is controlled by the internal windshield wiper motor microprocessor, the wipers
will only operate in high-speed mode if the internal windshield wiper motor module fails, and will not
automatically park when the multi-function switch is turned to the OFF position. This is due to the integral

run/park and integral high/low relay coils being directly hard-wired to the switch in high speed. The diode
prevents current flow through the high/low relay coil so the relay remains in the normally closed low-speed
position.

Intermittent Speed Windshield Wipers

When the multi-function switch is set to the intermittent position(s), it supplies ground to the windshield wiper
motor module inputs and the windshield wiper motor operates in intermittent mode. During intermittent
operation, the windshield wiper motor activates the integral run/park relay coil which sends voltage through the
integral high/low relay. The integral high/low relay remains deactivated, supplying the voltage to the low-speed
brush of the windshield wiper motor. The windshield motor continues to operate until the internal Hall-effect
sensor senses the magnet (PARK position) and deactivates the integral run/park relay, which disconnects
voltage from the wiper motor. The windshield wipers remain parked until the windshield wiper motor module
completes a time-out and then repeats the intermittent windshield wiper cycle.

Speed Dependent Windshield Wipers

The speed-dependent feature increases the frequency of wiping to compensate for the extra moisture that
accumulates on the windshield as the vehicle speed increases, when the multi-function switch is in any
intermittent setting except the INT 1 position. The windshield wiper module receives vehicle speed sensor
(VSS) information directly from the PCM. As vehicle speed increases, the speed-dependent feature gradually
shortens the delay between wipes.

The speed-dependent feature is easiest to verify in the INT 2 position. With the vehicle at a standstill and the
multi-function switch in the INT 2 position, the wipers should operate once every 10 seconds. As vehicle speed
increases, the delay between wipes will gradually shorten. For example, by the time the vehicle reaches 100
km/h (62 mph), the wipers should operate every 5 seconds. Speed dependent operation is similar in INT 3, INT
4 and INT 5 modes.

Wiper Activated Headlamps (If Equipped with Autolamp System)

The headlamps will automatically turn on within 10 seconds when the headlamp switch is in the automatic
position and the windshield wipers are activated in any mode except in the MIST or WASH positions. When the
windshield wipers are deactivated, the headlamps will automatically turn off within 30 seconds.

Intermittent Rear Window Wiper System

When the multi-function switch is set to the rear intermittent position(s), it supplies ground to the rear window
wiper motor module input and the wiper operates in intermittent mode. During intermittent operation, the rear
wiper motor momentarily activates the rear window wiper relay (internal), which sends voltage to the motor.
Once the rear window wiper motor is activated, the internal run/park switch connects voltage to the motor,
keeping it operating. When the rear window wiper motor returns to the PARK position, the run/park switch
disconnects voltage internally from the wiper motor input, reconnecting it to the rear window wiper motor
module output. The rear window wiper remains parked until the rear window wiper motor module completes a
time-out and then repeats the cycle.

The front and rear washer system share the same washer reservoir and washer pump. The front and rear wiper
motor modules each contain an integral washer relay that supplies a ground path for the washer pump whenever
they are inactive. When windshield wash is selected on the multi-function switch, the windshield wiper motor
module activates its integral washer relay which sends voltage to the washer pump to direct fluid to the
windshield. When rear wash is selected on the multi-function switch, the rear wiper motor module activates its
integral washer relay to send voltage to the washer pump to direct fluid to the rear window. If the front or rear
washer button is applied for greater than 10 seconds, the associated wiper motor will default the washer system
to off and the washer system will be inoperative for that ignition cycle.

Software Safe Mode

The windshield wiper motor defaults to software safe mode when the run/park sensor does not sense the Hall-
effect magnet inside the wiper motor. This can be caused by an obstruction of the windshield wipers, a binding
linkage or loss of the Hall sensor signal. The motor continues to operate in a high/low-speed condition, and
when turned off, the wipers immediately park on the windshield. If necessary, the wipers can be turned on and
off until they return to the PARK position.
