Normal Operation
The heated wiper park relay is supplied voltage by the AJB fuse 13 (30A) through circuits 30-HB8 (RD/OG) and 30-HB8A (RD/OG). When the ambient temperature falls below 3°C (38°F), the DATC module grounds circuit 91S-HB7 (BN/RD), closing the heated wiper park relay. This allows voltage to flow through circuit 30S-HB42 (RD/YE) to the heated wiper park grids in the windshield.

Possible Causes
- circuits 30S-HB42 (RD/YE), 91S-HB7 (BN/RD), 30-HB8 (RD/OG), 30-HB8A (RD/OG), 31-HB42 (BK/YE) open
- heated wiper park relay
- DATC module
- heated wiper park grids
