DTC Descriptor

DTC B370B 02
- Rear Wiper Function Control Circuit Short to Ground

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 and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the X50A underhood fuse block. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.

2. Disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 body control module, ignition ON.

3. Test for less than 10 ohms between the control circuit terminal 27 at the X50A underhood fuse block and the control circuit terminal 10 at the K9 body control module.

• If 10 ohms or greater

1. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit and ground.

• If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

• If less than 1 V

2. Ignition OFF.

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the control circuit end to end.

• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

• If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 body control module.

• If less than 10 ohms

4. Test or replace the X50A underhood fuse block.
