CLEANING AND INSPECTION
WIPER BLADES
Wiper blades exposed to the weather for a long
period of time tend to lose their wiping effectiveness.Periodic cleaning of the wiper blade is recommended
to remove the accumulation of salt and road grime.
The wiper blades, arms and windshield should be
cleaned with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent
or nonabrasive cleaner. If the wiper blades continue
to streak or smear, they should be replaced. The
wiper blade should run smoothly across the wind-
shield in both directions. The wiper blade should
slightly roll over center when the blade reverses
direction. A wiper blade insert that has lost flexibility
or a wiper arm that has lost spring tension, will
cause the blade to skip or chatter across the wind-
shield. If the wiper blades are new and the wiper
arm spring tension is OK and a chattering sound is
emitted from the wiper(s), the wiper blade is not roll-
ing over center. If this condition exists, refer to the
Wiper Arm Alignment paragraph of this group.
ADJUSTMENTS
WIPER ARM ALIGNMENT
(1)Verify wiper blade element condition and wiper
arm spring tension. Run wipers in low speed mode
while applying water to the windshield. Observe the
wiper blade that is chattering or skipping across the
windshield. If the wiper element is not rolling over
when the wiper direction reverses, align the wiper arm.
The extension bar portion of the wiper arm must be
twisted in the proper direction to allow the wiper ele-
ment to roll over when the direction reverses.
(2) Place two small adjustable wrenches placed 50
mm (2 in.) apart on the wiper arm extension rod.
(3) Twist the extension rod slightly in the opposite
direction that the element is laying on the wind-
shield while holding the wrench closest to the pivot
stationary.
(4) Repeat step Step 1, and align as necessary
until wiper stops chattering and wipes the wind-
shield clear.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
When continuous rear wiper operation is required,
the Body Control Module (BCM) will provide ignition
ON voltage to the rear wiper motor. When the wiper
switch is turned OFF, the BCM provides circuit
ground to operate the motor until the wipe cycle is
complete and the wiper arm returns to the base of
the rear window.
When intermittent rear wiper mode is selected, the
wiper motor will cycle every 7 seconds. The intermit-
tent delay time is also adjusted based upon vehicle
speed. With the vehicle traveling greater at 50 mph,
the cycle changes to every 5 seconds.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER SWITCHES
The rear window wiper/washer switches are incor-
porated into the HVAC switch panel. Refer to Group
8E, Instrument Panel for proper service procedures.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
The rear window wiper system operates in several
modes:
²Continuous wipe
²Intermittent wipe
²Wash
²Wipe after wash
The windshield wiper circuits are continuously
monitored and controlled by the Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM). If a problem occurs in the electronic com-
ponents, wiring, switch (except integral motor park
switch) and wiper motor a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) will be stored in the BCM memory. The
DTC(s) can be retrieved using a scan tool (DRB).
Refer to proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual
for DTC descriptions and retrieval information.

SECTION IDENTIFICATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual
sections. If a component is most likely found in a par-
ticular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,
connectors, and pins) within that group. For exam-
ple, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be
found in Group 30, so it is shown there complete. It
can, however, be shown partially in another group if
it contains some associated wiring.
SYMBOLS
International symbols are used throughout the wir-
ing diagrams. These symbols are consistent with
those being used around the world.
