Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) controls the single speed rear wiper motor by its active high output to the external rear wiper motor relay. When the BCM activates its output and applies battery to the coil of the relay, the relay energizes, allowing battery voltage from the fuse to be applied through the switched contacts of the rear wiper motor relay to the control input of the rear wiper motor. The motor then operates continuously at low speed.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition ON
* The system voltage is between 9-16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A short to ground or an open/high resistance is detected in the rear window wiper control circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Rear wiper operation is suspended.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X2 at the X50A underhood fuse block.
2. Disconnect the harness connector X4 at the K9 body control module.
3. Test for less than 5 ohms between the control circuit terminal D6 at the X50A underhood fuse block connector X2 and the control circuit terminal 10 at the K9 body control module connector X4.
• If the value is greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the K9 body control module.
4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the X50A underhood fuse block.
Component Testing
Output Control Test
Ignition ON, command the rear wiper relay command On and OFF with the rear wiper switch. Observe the KR7 rear wiper relay clicks and the M45 rear wiper motor runs.
If the KR7 rear wiper relay does not work, replace the X50A underhood fuse block.
If the KR7 rear wiper relay does work, but the M45 rear wiper motor does not run, test the M45 rear wiper motor ground and control circuit.
If all circuits test normal, replace the M45 rear wiper motor.
Relay Test
1. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector X2 at the X50A underhood fuse block.
2. Disconnect the harness connector X4 at the K9 body control module.
3. Test for 60-200 ohms between terminals 10 X4 and ground.
• If the resistance is not within the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
• If all circuits test normal, test or replace the X50A underhood fuse block.
