connected to battery current from a fuse in the Junc-
tion Block (JB) through a fused ignition switch out-
put (run-acc) circuit.
²The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to the
relay control output of the CTM through the wiper
motor relay control circuit. The CTM controls the
ground path for this circuit internally to energize or
de-energize the wiper relay based upon its program-
ming and inputs from the wiper and washer control
circuitry of the multi-function switch and from the
wiper motor park switch.
²The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
battery current from a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) through a fused ignition switch output (run-acc)
circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the On or
Accessory positions.
²The normally open terminal (87) is connected to
battery current from a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) through a fused ignition switch output (run-acc)
circuit whenever the wiper relay control coil is ener-
gized by the CTM. This circuit provides fused igni-
tion switch output (run-acc) current to the wiper
motor low speed brush only when the wiper relay
control coil is energized.
²The normally closed terminal (87A) is connected
to the output of the wiper motor park switch through
the wiper motor park switch sense circuit. This cir-
cuit provides battery current (wipers are not parked)
or ground (wipers are parked) to the wiper motor low
speed brush whenever the wiper relay control coil is
de-energized and the Off position of the wiper control
of the multi-function switch is selected.
The wiper relay can be diagnosed using conven-
tional diagnostic tools and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIPER RELAY
The wiper relay (or intermittent wipe relay) (Fig.
10) is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
in the engine compartment. See the fuse and relay
layout label affixed to the inside surface of the PDC
cover for wiper relay identification and location.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wir-
ing information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Remove the wiper relay from the PDC. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS/WIPER
RELAY - REMOVAL).
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 75 5 ohms. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(4) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, test the relay input and output cir-
cuits. Refer to RELAY CIRCUIT TEST . If not OK,
replace the faulty relay.
RELAY CIRCUIT TEST
(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) is
connected to the multi-function switch. There should
be continuity between the receptacle for terminal 30
of the wiper relay in the PDC and both driver low
speed wiper motor driver circuit cavities of the
instrument panel wire harness connector for the
multi-function switch at all times. If OK, go to Step
2. If not OK, repair the open driver low speed wiper
motor driver circuit(s) between the PDC and the
multi-function switch as required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal (87A) is
connected to the wiper motor park switch through
the wiper motor park switch sense circuit. There
should be continuity between the receptacle for ter-
minal 87A of the wiper relay in the PDC and the
wiper motor park switch sense circuit cavity of the
headlamp and dash wire harness connector for the
wiper motor at all times. If OK, go to Step 3. If not
OK, repair the open wiper motor park switch sense
circuit between the PDC and the wiper motor as
required.
(3) The relay normally open terminal (87) is con-
nected to a fused ignition switch output (run-acc)
fuse in the Junction Block (JB) through a fused igni-
tion switch output (run-acc) circuit. There should be
battery voltage at the receptacle for terminal 87 of

TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are
six steps which can aid in the procedure. The steps
are listed and explained below. Always check for non-
factory items added to the vehicle before doing any
diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items,
disconnect them to verify these add-on items are not
the cause of the problem.
(1) Verify the problem.
(2) Verify any related symptoms. Do this by per-
forming operational checks on components that are
in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
(3) Analyze the symptoms. Use the wiring dia-
grams to determine what the circuit is doing, where
the problem most likely is occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
(4) Isolate the problem area.
(5) Repair the problem area.
(6) Verify the proper operation. For this step,
check for proper operation of all items on the
repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a
symbol (Fig. 6) is used to indicate this. When han-
dling any component with this symbol, comply with
the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inad-
vertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume
that it is.
(1) Always touch a known good ground before han-
dling the part. This should be repeated while han-
dling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position,
or walking a distance.
(2) Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part,
unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.(3) When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the
ground lead first.
(4) Do not remove the part form it's protective
packing until it is time to install the part.
(5) Before removing the part from it's pakage,
ground the pakage to a known good ground on the
vehicle.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF
VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
(1) Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a
known good ground (Fig. 7).
(2) Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the
selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to
be turned ON to check voltage. Refer to the appropri-
ate test procedure.

WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION (Continued)
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR
CONTINUITY
(1) Remove the fuse for the circuit being checked
or, disconnect the battery.
(2) Connect one lead of the ohmmeter to one side
of the circuit being tested (Fig. 8).
(3) Connect the other lead to the other end of the
circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good
continuity.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A
SHORT TO GROUND
(1) Remove the fuse and disconnect all items
involved with the fuse.
(2) Connect a test light or a voltmeter across the
terminals of the fuse.
(3) Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring
harness about six to eight inches apart and watch
the voltmeter/test lamp.
(4) If the voltmeter registers voltage or the test
lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that gen-
eral area of the wiring harness.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A
SHORT TO GROUND ON FUSES POWERING
SEVERAL LOADS
(1) Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or
isolate all items on the suspected fused circuits.
(2) Replace the blown fuse.(3) Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the
ignition switch or re-connecting the battery.
(4) Start connecting or energizing the items in the
fuse circuit one at a time. When the fuse blows the
circuit with the short to ground has been isolated.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A
VOLTAGE DROP
(1) Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to
the side of the circuit closest to the battery (Fig. 9).
(2) Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the
other side of the switch, component or circuit.
(3) Operate the item.
(4) The voltmeter will show the difference in volt-
age between the two points.
