WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAG, SEE GROUP 8M, RESTRAINT SYSTEMS FOR
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. DISCONNECT THE NEGA-

VICING COMPONENTS INVOLVING THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG
AND PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
The windshield wipers can be operated with the
windshield wiper switch when the ignition switch is
in the RUN or ACCESSORY positions. The wind-
shield wiper system is protected by a 40 amp fuse (9)
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in
the engine compartment. The windshield washer cir-
cuit is protected by a 6 amp fuse (9) located in the
Junction Block. The wiper motor has permanent
magnetic fields. The speeds are determined by cur-
rent flow to the appropriate set of brushes inside the
motor. The current flow is controlled by the multi-
function switch stalk mounted wiper switch, high
speed/low speed relays located in the PDC. The speed
sensitive intermittent wiper is controlled by the BodyControl Module (BCM). The intermittent mode, with
the vehicle traveling greater than 10.4 mph, has a
range of 0.5 to 18 seconds. With the vehicle traveling
less than 10.4 mph, and the time delay is not
adjusted, time delay doubles to a range of 1 to 36
seconds. The wiper arms will park at the base of the
windshield just above the cowl cover after the wiper
switch is turned OFF.
The windshield wiper motor and linkage is located
in an integral wiper unit at the rear of the engine
compartment. The wiper unit must be removed to
gain access to the wiper motor.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
The windshield wiper system operates in several
modes:
²Low and high speed normal wipe
²Speed sensitive intermittent wipe
²Wipe after wash
²Pulse wipe
²Park (switch OFF)
The windshield wiper circuits are continuously
monitored and controlled by the Body Control Mod-

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Headlamp washers are available as a factory-in-
stalled option on this model. The headlamp washers
on this vehicle work in conjunction with the wind-
shield washers. The headlamp washers are enabled
with the headlamps ªONº and the windshield wash-
ers activated. With the windshield washers activated
the headlamp washers will spray for a preset amount
of time controlled by a relay.
The headlamp washer system utilizes a separate pump
that is attached to the windshield washer reservoir. The
headlamp washer pump feeds two nozzles that are
mounted in the front fascia of the vehicle. These nozzles
spray the headlamps when the system is activated.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
WINDSHIELD/HEADLAMP WASHER RESERVOIR

washer pump and headlamp washer pump electrical con-
nectors.
(4) Disconnect the headlamp washer pump hose.(5) Partially remove the front fascia to aid in the
removal of the reservoir.

GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
NS vehicles use lighting on the interior and exte-
rior of the vehicle for illuminating and indicating
purposes. Lighting circuits are protected by fuses.
Lighting circuits require an overload protected power
source, on/off device, lamps and body ground to oper-
ate properly. Plastic lamps require a wire in the har-
ness to supply body ground to the lamp socket.
Replace sockets and bulbs that are corroded.
Some of the interior and exterior lighting functions
are governed by the body controller. The headlamp,
dome, and the door ajar switches provide signals to
the body controller. The body controller in turn acti-
vates relay(s) in order to provide either a ground or
feed line to the appropriate lamp(s).
Wire connectors can make intermittent contact or
become corroded. Before coupling wire connectors,
inspect the terminals inside the connector. Male ter-
minals should not be bent or disengaged from the
insulator. Female terminals should not be sprung
open or disengaged from the insulator. Bent and
sprung terminals can be repaired using needle nose
pliers and pick tool. Corroded terminals appear
chalky or green. Corroded terminals should be
replaced to avoid recurrence of the problem symp-
toms.
Begin electrical system failure diagnosis by testing
related fuses in the fuse block and power distribution
center. Verify that bulbs are in good condition andtest continuity of the circuit ground. Refer to Group
8W, Wiring Diagrams, for component location and cir-
cuit information.SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs
with fingers or other possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result.
Do not use bulbs with higher candle power than
indicated in the Bulb Application table at the end of
this group. Damage to lamp and/or Daytime Run-
ning Lamp Module can result.
Do not use fuses, circuit breakers or relays hav-
ing greater amperage value than indicated on the
fuse panel or in the Owners Manual.
When it is necessary to remove components to ser-
vice another, it should not be necessary to apply
excessive force or bend a component to remove it.
Before damaging a trim component, verify hidden
fasteners or captured edges are not holding the com-
ponent in place.

HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
The headlamps are equipped with a bubble level
for up/down headlamp alignment. The bubble is cen-
tered with the vehicle on a level surface. A horizontal
gauge and magnifying window is located next to the
bubble level for left/right alignment (Fig. 1). Aim on
every headlamp assembly is calibrated at the head-
lamp manufacturer. At the vehicle assembly plant,
the vertical aim is set by centering the bubble with
the vehicle on a level surface. Horizontal aim is con-
trolled by the mounting pads on each headlamp
mounting panel.
When the vehicle is to be used with a heavy load,
the bubble level can be used to compensate for the
altered ride height.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT PREPARATION
(1) Verify headlamp dimmer switch and high beam
indicator operation.
(2) Inspect and correct damaged or defective com-
ponents that could interfere with proper headlamp
alignment.
(3) Verify proper tire inflation.
(4) Clean headlamp lenses.
(5) Verify that luggage area is loaded as the vehi-
cle is routinely used.
(6) Fuel tank should be FULL. Add 2.94 kg (6.5
lbs.) of weight over the fuel tank for each estimated
gallon of missing fuel.

ALIGNMENT SCREEN
ALIGNMENT SCREEN PREPARATION
(1) Position vehicle on a level surface perpendicu-
lar to a flat wall 7.62 meters (25 ft.) away from front
of headlamp lens (Fig. 2).
(2) If necessary, tape a line on the floor 7.62
meters (25 ft.) away from and parallel to the wall.
(3) From the floor up 1.27 meters (5 ft.), tape a
line on the wall at the center line of the vehicle.
Sight along the center line of the vehicle (from rear
of vehicle forward) to verify accuracy of the line
placement.
(4) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times and allow
suspension to stabilize.
(5) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing
downward on front bumper and releasing.
(6) Measure the distance from the center of head-
lamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the
alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for
up/down adjustment reference.
(7) Measure distance from the center line of the
vehicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned.
