not OK, repair the open fused ignition switch output
(st-run) circuit between the JB fuse and the ignition
switch as required.
(5) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM) from the SKIM connector. Check for continu-
ity between the ground circuit of the instrument
panel wire harness connector for the SKIM and a
good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to
Step 6. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit.
(6) Reconnect the battery negative cable. Check for
battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
instrument panel wire harness connector for the
SKIM. If OK, go to Step 7. If not OK, repair the open
fused B(+) circuit between the SKIM and the JB
fuse.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.

output (st-run) circuit of the instrument panel wire
harness connector for the SKIM. If OK, refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information and use a
DRBIIItscan tool to complete the diagnosis of the
SKIS. If not OK, repair the open fused ignition
switch output (st-run) circuit between the SKIM and
the JB fuse.
SKIS INDICATOR FLASHES OR LIGHTS SOLID FOLLOWING
BULB TEST
A SKIS indicator that flashes following a successful
bulb test indicates that an invalid key has been
detected, or that a key-related fault has been set. A
SKIS indicator that lights solid following a successful
bulb test indicates that the SKIM has detected a sys-
tem malfunction or that the SKIS is inoperative. In
either case, fault information will be stored in the
SKIM memory. For retrieval of this fault information
and further diagnosis of the SKIS, the PCI data bus,
the SKIM message outputs to the instrument cluster,
the SKIM message outputs to the Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM), or the message inputs and outputs
between the SKIM and the Powertrain Control Mod-
ule (PCM), a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate
diagnostic information are required. Following are
preliminary troubleshooting guidelines to be followed
during diagnosis using a DRBIIItscan tool:(1) Using the DRBIIItscan tool, read and record
the faults as they exist in the SKIM when you first
begin your diagnosis of the vehicle. It is important to
document these faults because the SKIM does not
differentiate between historical and active faults. If
this problem turns out to be an intermittent condi-
tion, this information may become invaluable to your
diagnosis.
(2) Using the DRBIIItscan tool, erase all of the
faults from the SKIM.
(3) Cycle the ignition switch to the Off position,
then back to the On position.
(4) Using the DRBIIItscan tool, read any faults
that are now present in the SKIM. These are the
active faults.
(5) Using this active fault information, refer to the
proper procedure in the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation for the additional specific diagnostic steps.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - SKIS
INITIALIZATION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) must
be initialized following a Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module (SKIM) replacement. SKIS initialization
requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Initialization
will also require that you have access to the unique
four-digit PIN code that was assigned to the original
SKIM. The PIN codemustbe used to enter the
Secured Access Mode in the SKIM. This PIN number
may be obtained from the vehicle owner, from the
original vehicle invoice, or from the DaimlerChrysler
Customer Center. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELEC-
TRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE - PCM/SKIM PROGRAMMING).
NOTE: If a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is
replaced on a vehicle equipped with the Sentry Key
Immobilizer System (SKIS), the unique Secret Key
data must be transferred from the Sentry Key
Immobilizer Module (SKIM) to the new PCM using
the PCM replacement procedure. This procedure
also requires the use of a DRBIIITscan tool and the
unique four-digit PIN code to enter the Secured
Access Mode in the SKIM. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information for the proper PCM replace-
ment procedures.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - SENTRY KEY
TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING
All Sentry Keys included with the vehicle are pre-
programmed to work with the Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer System (SKIS) when it is shipped from the
8Q - 6 VEHICLE THEFT SECURITYWJ
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY (Continued)

factory. The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM)
can be programmed to recognize up to a total of eight
Sentry Keys. When programming a blank Sentry Key
transponder, the key must first be cut to match the
ignition switch lock cylinde for which it will be used.
Once the additional key has been cut, the SKIM
must be programmed to recognize it as a valid key.
There are two possible methods to program the
SKIM to recognize a new or additional valid key, the
Secured Access Method and the Customer Learn
Method. Following are the details of these two pro-
gramming methods.
SECURED ACCESS METHOD
The Secured Access method applies to all vehicles.
This method requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool.
This method will also require that you have access to
the unique four-digit PIN code that was assigned to
the original SKIM. The PIN codemustbe used to
enter the Secured Access Mode in the SKIM. This
PIN number may be obtained from the vehicle owner,
from the original vehicle invoice, or from the
DaimlerChrysler Customer Center. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information for the proper
Secured Access method programming procedures.
CUSTOMER LEARN METHOD
The Customer Learn feature is only available on
domestic vehicles, or those vehicles which have a
U.S. country code designator. This programming
method also requires access to at least two valid Sen-
try Keys. If two valid Sentry Keys are not available,
or if the vehicle does not have a U.S. country code
designator, the Secured Access Methodmustbe used
to program new or additional valid keys to the SKIM.
The Customer Learn programming method proce-
dures are as follows:
(1) Obtain the blank Sentry Key(s) that are to be
programmed as valid keys for the vehicle. Cut the
blank key(s) to match the ignition switch lock cylin-
der mechanical key codes.
(2) Insert one of the two valid Sentry Keys into the
ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the
On position.
(3) After the ignition switch has been in the On
position for longer than three seconds, but no more
than fifteen seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to
the Off position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key in
the ignition switch lock cylinder with the second
valid Sentry Key and turn the ignition switch back to
the On position. The second valid Sentry Key must
be inserted in the lock cylinder within fifteen seconds
of removing the first valid key.
(4) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
3, the SKIS indicator in the instrument cluster will
start to flash and a single audible chime tone willsound to indicate that the system has entered the
Customer Learn programming mode.
(5) Within sixty seconds of entering the Customer
Learn programming mode, turn the ignition switch to
the Off position, replace the valid Sentry Key with a
blank Sentry Key transponder, and turn the ignition
switch back to the On position.
(6) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
5, a single audible chime tone will sound and the
SKIS indicator will stop flashing, stay on solid for
three seconds, then turn off to indicate that the
blank Sentry Key has been successfully programmed.
The SKIS will immediately exit the Customer Learn
programming mode and the vehicle may now be
started using the newly programmed valid Sentry
Key.
Each of these steps must be repeated and com-
pleted in their entirety for each additional Sentry
Key that is to be programmed. If the above steps are
not completed in the given sequence, or within the
allotted time, the SKIS will exit the Customer Learn
programming mode and the programming will be
unsuccessful. The SKIS will also automatically exit
the Customer Learn programming mode if it sees a
non-blank Sentry Key transponder when it should
see a blank, if it has already programmed eight (8)
valid Sentry Keys, or if the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position for more than about fifty seconds.
NOTE: If an attempt is made to start the vehicle
while in the Customer Learn mode (SKIS indicator
flashing), the SKIS will respond as though the vehi-
cle were being started with an invalid key. In other
words, the engine will stall after about two seconds
of operation. No faults will be set.
NOTE: Once a Sentry Key has been programmed as
a valid key to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed
as a valid key for use on any other vehicle.
DOOR CYLINDER LOCK

DESCRIPTION
Vehicles manufactured for North American mar-
kets that are equipped with the optional Vehicle
Theft Security System (VTSS) have a door cylinder
lock switch secured to the back of the key lock cylin-
der inside the drivers front door (Fig. 1). The door
cylinder lock switch is a resistor multiplexed momen-
tary switch that is hard wired in series between the
door lock switch ground and right or left cylinder
lock switch mux circuits of the Drivers Door Module
(DDM) through the front door wire harness. The door

VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY (Continued)

The ITM microprocessor continuously monitors
inputs from its on-board motion sensor as well as
inputs from the BCM and the alarm siren module.
The ITM motion sensor transmits ultrasonic signals
into the vehicle cabin through a transmit transducer,
then listens to the returning signals as the bounce off
of objects in the vehicle interior. If an object is mov-
ing in the interior, a detection circuit in the ITM
senses this movement through the modulation of the
returning ultrasonic signals that occurs due to the
Doppler effect. The motion detect function of the ITM
can be disabled by depressing the ªLockº button on
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter three
times within fifteen seconds, while the security indi-
cator is still flashing rapidly or by cycling the key in
the driver door cylinder from the center to the lock
position. The ITM will signal the alarm siren module
to provide a single siren ªchirpº as an audible confir-
mation that the motion sensor function has been dis-
abled.
If movement is detected, the ITM sends an mes-
sage to the BCM over the PCI data bus to flash the
exterior lighting and send a message to the alarm
siren module over a dedicated serial bus line to
sound the siren. When the BCM detects a breach in
the perimeter protection through a door, tailgate,
flip-up glass, or hood ajar switch input, it sends an
message to the ITM and the ITM sends an message
to the BCM over the PCI data bus to flash the exte-
rior lighting and send a message to the alarm siren
module over a dedicated serial bus line to sound the
siren. The ITM also monitors inputs from the alarm
siren module for siren battery or siren input/output
circuit tamper alerts, and siren battery condition
alerts, then sets active and stored Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) for any monitored system faults it
detects. An active fault only remains for the current
ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a
DTC to be stored in memory by the ITM. If a fault
does not reoccur for fifty ignition cycles, the ITM will
automatically erase the stored DTC.
The ITM is connected to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem through the overhead wire harness. The ITM
receives battery voltage on a B(+) circuit through a
fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and is grounded to
the chassis at G303. These connections allow the
ITM to remain operational, regardless of the ignition
switch position. The hard wired inputs and outputs
for the ITM may be diagnosed and tested using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However,
conventional diagnostic methods will not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of the ITM, the PCI data bus
network, or the electronic message inputs to and out-
puts from the ITM. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the ITM, the PCI data
bus network, and the message inputs to and outputsfrom the ITM requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

SKIS INDICATOR LAMP
DESCRIPTION
A Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indicator
lamp is standard equipment on all instrument clus-
ters, but is only functional on vehicles equipped with
the optional SKIS. The amber SKIS indicator lamp is
located to the right of the oil pressure gauge.
OPERATION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indica-
tor lamp gives an indication to the vehicle operator of
the status of the SKIS. This lamp is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon messages received by the cluster from
the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. The SKIS indicator lamp bulb receives battery
current on the instrument cluster circuit board
through the fused ignition switch output (st-run) cir-
cuit whenever the ignition switch is in the On or
Start positions. The lamp bulb only illuminates when
it is provided a path to ground by the instrument
cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will turn
on the SKIS indicator lamp for the following reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, the SKIM tells the cluster
to illuminate the lamp for about three seconds.
²SKIS Lamp-On Message- Each time the clus-
ter receives a SKIS lamp-on message from the SKIM,
the lamp will be illuminated. The lamp can be
flashed on and off, or illuminated solid, as dictated
by the message from the SKIM. For more informa-
tion on the SKIS and the SKIS lamp control param-
eters, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE THEFT
SECURITY - OPERATION - SENTRY KEY IMMO-
BILIZER SYSTEM). The lamp remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from
the SKIM or until the ignition switch is turned to the
Off position, whichever occurs first.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the lamp will be turned on
for the duration of the test to confirm the functional-
ity of the lamp and the cluster.
The SKIM performs a self-test each time the igni-
tion switch is turned to the On position to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition.
The SKIM then sends a message to the instrument
cluster. If the SKIS indicator lamp fails to light dur-
ing the bulb test, replace the bulb. For further diag-
nosis of the SKIS indicator lamp or the instrument

operates the front wipers at the programmed speed
and intervals requested by the RSM to maintain vis-
ibility through the windshield.
²Continuous Wipe Mode- The control knob on
the control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-function
switch has two continuous wipe positions, Low and
High. When selected, these switch positions will
cause the two-speed front wiper motor to operate in a
continuous low or high speed cycle.
²Headlamps On With Wipers- The BCM pro-
vides an automatic headlamps on with wipers feature
for models equipped with the optional automatic
headlamps. This is a customer programmable fea-
ture. If this feature is enabled, the headlamps will
turn on automatically when the windshield wipers
are turned on; and, if the headlamps were turned on
automatically when the wipers were turned on, they
will turn off automatically when the wipers are
turned off. In models equipped with the optional
automatic wiper feature, when the automatic wiper
mode is selected the headlamps will turn on auto-
matically only after the wipers complete three auto-
matic wipe cycles within about thirty seconds, and
they will turn off automatically after three minutes
elapse without any automatic wipe cycles. (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE - ELECTRONIC VEHICLE
INFORMATION CENTER PROGRAMMING).
²Mist Wipe Mode- The control stalk of the right
(wiper) multi-function switch has a momentary Mist
position. When selected, this switch position will
operate the front wipers in a low speed continuous
cycle for as long as the switch is held closed, then
will complete the current wipe cycle and park the
front wiper blades near the base of the windshield
when the switch is released.
²Speed Sensitive Intermittent Wipe Mode-
Except on models equipped with the optional auto-
matic wiper system, the internal circuitry of both the
right (wiper) multi-function switch and the BCM
work in concert to provide an intermittent wipe mode
with five delay interval selections. The BCM auto-
matically adjusts each manually selected delay inter-
val to compensate for vehicle speed.
²Washer Mode- When the momentary front
wash position of the control stalk for the right
(wiper) multi-function switch is selected with the
front wiper system operating in a continuous wipe
mode, washer fluid will be dispensed onto the wind-
shield glass through the washer nozzles for as long
as the washer switch is held closed. When the front
washer switch is actuated with the front wiper sys-
tem operating in an intermittent wipe mode, washer
fluid is still dispensed until the switch is released;
however, the front wipers will operate in a low speed
continuous cycle from the time the washer switch isclosed until several wipe cycles after the switch is
released, before returning to the selected intermit-
tent wipe mode.
²Wipe-After-Wash Mode- When the momentary
front wash position of the control stalk for the right
(wiper) multi-function switch is selected with the
front wiper system turned Off, the internal circuitry
of the BCM provides a wipe-after-wash feature.
When selected, this feature will operate the front
washer pump/motor and the front wipers for as long
as the front washer switch is held closed, then pro-
vide several additional wipe cycles after the switch is
released before parking the front wiper blades near
the base of the windshield.
OPERATION
The front wiper and washer system is designed to
provide the vehicle operator with a convenient, safe,
and reliable means of maintaining visibility through
the windshield glass. The various components of this
system are designed to convert electrical energy pro-
duced by the vehicle electrical system into the
mechanical action of the wiper blades to wipe the
outside surface of the glass, as well as into the
hydraulic action of the washer system to apply
washer fluid stored in an on-board reservoir to the
area of the glass to be wiped. When combined, these
components provide the means to effectively main-
tain clear visibility for the vehicle operator by remov-
ing excess accumulations of rain, snow, bugs, mud, or
other minor debris that might be encountered while
driving the vehicle under numerous types of inclem-
ent operating conditions from the outside windshield
glass surface.
The vehicle operator initiates all front wiper and
washer system functions with the control stalk of the
right (wiper) multi-function switch that extends from
the right side of the steering column, just below the
steering wheel. Rotating the control knob on the end
of the right (wiper) multi-function switch control
stalk selects the Off, Delay (on models not equipped
with the optional automatic wiper system), Auto (on
models equipped with the optional automatic wiper
system), Low, or High front wiper system operating
modes. In the Delay mode, the control knob also
allows the vehicle operator to select from one of five
intermittent wipe Delay intervals. In the Auto mode,
the control knob also allows the vehicle operator to
select from one of five automatic wiper sensitivity
levels. Pulling the right control stalk downwards
actuates the momentary front wiper system Mist
mode switch, while pulling the right control stalk
towards the steering wheel actuates the front washer
system switch. The multi-function switch provides
hard wired resistor multiplexed inputs to the Body
Control Module (BCM) for all of the front wiper sys-

²Continuous Rear Wipe Mode- The internal
circuitry and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch control sleeve provides one continu-
ous rear wipe switch position.
²Front Washer Mode- The internal circuitry
and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-function
switch control stalk provide front washer system
operation.
²Front Wipe-After-Wash Mode- The internal
circuitry and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch control stalk provide a wipe-after-
wash mode.
²Front Wiper Mist Mode- The internal cir-
cuitry and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-func-
tion switch control stalk provide a front wiper system
mist mode.
²Intermittent Front Wipe Mode- The internal
circuitry and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch control knob provide an intermittent
front wipe mode with five delay interval positions,
except on models equipped with the optional auto-
matic wiper system.
²Intermittent Rear Wipe Mode- The internal
circuitry and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch control ring provide one fixed inter-
val intermittent rear wipe mode switch position.
²Rear Washer Mode- The internal circuitry and
hardware of the right (wiper) multi-function switch
control stalk provide rear washer system operation.
OPERATION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch uses a com-
bination of resistor multiplexed and conventionally
switched outputs to control the many functions and
features it provides. The switch receives battery cur-
rent on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) cir-
cuit from a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) whenever
the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory posi-
tions, and receives ground from the Body Control
Module (BCM) on a windshield wiper switch return
circuit. The right (wiper) multi-function switch may
be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods.
Following are descriptions of how the right (wiper)
multi-function switch control stalk operates to control
the functions and features it provides:
²Automatic Wipe Mode- On models equipped
with the optional automatic wiper system, the control
knob on the end of the right (wiper) multi-function
switch control stalk is rotated to one of five minor
intermediate detents to select the desired automatic
wipe sensitivity level. The control knob is rotated
rearward (counterclockwise) to reduce the sensitivity
(increase the interval between wipes), or forward
(clockwise) to increase the sensitivity (decrease the
interval between wipes). The right (wiper) multi-function switch provides a resistor multiplexed out-
put to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a
windshield wiper switch mux circuit. The BCM
responds by sending an electronic message to the
Rain Sensor Module (RSM) over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus indicating
the selected sensitivity level, and by operating the
front wiper system based upon electronic wipe com-
mands received from the RSM over the PCI data bus.
²Continuous Front Wipe Modes- The control
knob on the end of the right (wiper) multi-function
switch control stalk is rotated to an intermediate
detent that is one detent rearward (counterclockwise)
from the full forward (clockwise) detent to select the
low speed continuous front wiper mode, or to its full
forward (clockwise) detent to select the high speed
continuous front wiper mode. For the low speed
mode, the multi-function switch provides a resistor
multiplexed output to the Body Control Module
(BCM) on a windshield wiper switch mux circuit, and
the BCM responds by energizing the wiper on/off
relay in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for the
front low speed continuous wipe mode. For the high
speed mode, the multi-function switch provides the
same resistor multiplexed output to the BCM on the
windshield wiper switch mux circuit as the low speed
mode, but also provides a ground output to the BCM
on a wiper high control circuit. The BCM responds to
these inputs by energizing the wiper on/off relay and
the wiper high/low relay in the PDC for the front
high speed continuous wipe mode.
²Continuous Rear Wipe Mode- The control
ring on the right (wiper) multi-function switch con-
trol stalk is rotated to the most forward (clockwise)
detent to select the continuous rear wiper mode. The
multi-function switch provides a battery current out-
put to the rear wiper motor on a rear wiper motor
control circuit to signal the rear wiper module to
operate the rear wiper motor in the continuous wipe
mode.
²Front Washer Mode- The control stalk of the
right (wiper) multi-function switch is pulled toward
the steering wheel to momentarily activate the front
washer pump/motor in the front washer mode. The
front washer pump will continue to operate in the
front washer mode until the control stalk is released.
The right (wiper) multi-function switch provides a
battery current output on a washer pump motor
switch output circuit to energize the front washer
pump in the front washer mode.
²Front Wiper Mist Mode- The control stalk of
the right (wiper) multi-function switch is pushed
towards the floor to momentarily activate the front
wiper motor in the mist mode. The front wiper motor
will continue to operate in the mist mode until the
control stalk is released. The right (wiper) multi-

RIGHT MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH (Continued)

²Washer Reservoir- The rear washer system
shares a single reservoir with the front washer sys-
tem, but has its own dedicated washer pump/motor
and plumbing. The washer reservoir is concealed
between the left inner fender shield and the left
outer fender panel, behind the inner fender liner and
ahead of the left front wheel. The washer reservoir
filler neck is the only visible portion of the reservoir,
and it is accessed from the left front corner of the
engine compartment.
Features of the rear wiper and washer system
include the following:
²Continuous Wipe Mode- When the right
multi-function switch control sleeve is moved to the
On position, the rear wiper will be operated at a
fixed speed, continual wipe cycle until the switch
sleeve is moved to the Delay or Off positions, until
the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, or
until the liftgate flip-up glass is ajar.
²Intermittent Wipe Mode- When the right
multi-function switch control sleeve is moved to the
Delay position, the rear wiper will be operated in a
fixed interval, intermittent wipe cycle until the
switch sleeve is moved to the On or Off positions,
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
until the liftgate flip-up glass is ajar, or until the
right multi-function switch control stalk is pushed
forward to activate the rear washer system. The
intermittent wipe mode delay time has a fixed delay
interval of about five to eight seconds between
sweeps.
²Washer Mode- When the right multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to activate the
rear washer system, washer fluid will be dispensed
from the washer reservoir onto the liftgate glass
through the rear washer nozzle and the rear wiper
will operate in a fixed cycle (not intermittent) for as
long as the rear washer pump/motor unit remains
energized. When the control stalk is released from
the momentary Wash position, the wipe-after-wash
feature will continue to operate the rear wiper at a
fixed cycle for about three additional wiper sweeps
before returning to the previously selected mode.
Hard wired circuitry connects the rear wiper and
washer system components to the electrical system of
the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to
several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout
the vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the rear wiper and
washer system components through the use of a com-
bination of soldered splices, splice block connectors,
and many different types of wire harness terminal
connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repairprocedures, further details on wire harness routing
and retention, as well as pin-out and location views
for the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.
OPERATION
The rear wiper and washer system is intended to
provide the vehicle operator with a convenient, safe,
and reliable means of maintaining visibility through
the liftgate glass. The various components of this sys-
tem are designed to convert electrical energy pro-
duced by the vehicle electrical system into the
mechanical action of the wiper blade to wipe the out-
side surface of the glass, as well as into the hydraulic
action of the washer system to apply washer fluid
stored in an on-board reservoir to the area of the
glass to be wiped. When combined, these components
provide the means to effectively maintain clear visi-
bility for the vehicle operator by removing excess
accumulations of rain, snow, bugs, mud, or other
minor debris from the outside liftgate glass surface
that might be encountered while driving the vehicle
under numerous types of inclement operating condi-
tions. The vehicle operator initiates all rear wiper
and washer system functions with the right multi-
function switch located on the right side of the steer-
ing column, just below the steering wheel. Moving
the switch control sleeve to a detent position selects
the rear wiper system operating mode. Moving the
switch control stalk forward to a momentary position
activates the rear washer pump/motor, which dis-
penses washer fluid onto the liftgate glass through
the rear washer nozzle and operates the rear wiper
system in the fixed cycle mode for as long as the
washer switch is closed plus about three wiper
sweeps.
When the ignition switch is in the Accessory or On
positions, battery current from a fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) is provided to the right multi-function
switch through a fused ignition switch output (run-
acc) circuit. A separate fuse in the JB provides bat-
tery current to the electronic control circuitry of the
rear wiper module through a fused B(+) circuit.
When the right multi-function switch control sleeve
On position is selected, the On position circuitry
within the switch directs a battery current rear
wiper motor control signal input to the rear wiper
module electronic circuitry, which causes the rear
wiper motor to run at a fixed continuous wipe cycle.
When the right multi-function switch control sleeve
Delay position is selected, the Delay position cir-
cuitry within the switch directs a battery current
rear washer switch output signal input to the rear
wiper module electronic circuitry, which causes the
rear wiper motor to run at a fixed intermittent wipe
cycle. When the right multi-function switch control

stalk is moved to the rear Wash position, the Wash
position circuitry within the switch directs battery
current to the rear washer pump/motor unit, and to
both the rear wiper motor control and rear washer
switch output signal inputs of the rear wiper module
electronic circuitry, which causes the wiper motor to
run at a fixed cycle for as long as the Wash mode is
selected plus about three additional fixed wipe cycles.
The rear wiper module electronic circuitry controls
the switching of battery current to the rear wiper
motor brush, which controls wiper motor operation.
The intermittent wipe and wipe-after-wash features
of the rear wiper and washer system are both pro-
vided by the rear wiper module electronic circuitry.
The rear wiper module electronic circuitry also mon-
itors the liftgate flip-up glass ajar switch and will
park the rear wiper blade off of the glass any time it
senses that the liftgate flip-up glass is ajar, the igni-
tion switch is turned to the Off position, or the right
multi-function switch control sleeve is moved to the
Off position. This feature ensures that the rear wiper
blade will not interfere with or be damaged by the
operation of the liftgate flip-up glass. However, if the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position or the
liftgate flip-up glass is opened while the rear wiper is
operating, the right multi-function switch control
sleeve must be cycled to the Off position and back to
the On or Delay position after the ignition switch is
turned back On or the liftgate flip-up glass is closed
before the rear wiper will operate again.
Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features and opera-
tion of the rear wiper and washer system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR WIPER &
WASHER SYSTEM
WIPER SYSTEM
The diagnosis found here addresses an electrically
inoperative rear wiper system. If the rear wiper
motor operates, but the wiper does not move on the
liftgate glass, replace the faulty rear wiper module. If
the wiper operates, but chatters, lifts, or does not
clear the glass, clean and inspect the wiper system
components as required. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
REAR WIPERS/WASHERS - INSPECTION) and
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/REAR WIPERS/WASH-
ERS - CLEANING). Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. The wiring information includes wiring
diagrams, proper wire and connector repair proce-
dures, details of wire harness routing and retention,
connector pin-out information and location views for
the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-

DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISO-
LATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-
FORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
(1) Check that the interior lighting switch on the
control stalk of the left multi-function switch is not
in the dome lamp disable position. With all four
doors and the liftgate closed, open the liftgate flip-up
glass. The interior lamps should light. If not, depress
the cargo lamp lens to actuate the cargo lamp defeat
switch and the interior lamps should light. Close all
four doors, the liftgate and the liftgate flip-up glass.
Note whether the interior lamps remain lighted.
They should turn off after about thirty seconds. If
OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, go to Step 9.
(2) Check the fused B(+) fuse (Fuse8-15ampere)
in the Junction Block (JB). If OK, go to Step 3. If not
OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
(3) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
(Fuse8-15ampere) in the JB. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit between
the JB and the Power Distribution Center (PDC) as
required.
(4) Check the fused ignition switch output (run-
acc) fuse (Fuse 29 - 10 ampere) in the JB. If OK, go
to Step 5. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or
component as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) fuse (Fuse 29 - 10 ampere) in the
JB. If OK, turn the ignition switch to the Off position
and go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open fused
ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit between the
JB and the ignition switch as required.
(6) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the right multi-function switch from the
switch connector receptacle. Reconnect the battery
negative cable. Turn the ignition switch to the On
position. Check for battery voltage at the fused igni-
tion switch output (run-acc) circuit cavity of the
instrument panel wire harness connector for the
right multi-function switch. If OK, go to Step 7. If
not OK, repair the open fused ignition switch output
