RIGHT MULTI-FUNCTION
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch is secured
to the right side of the multi-function switch mount-
ing housing at the top of the steering column, just
below the steering wheel (Fig. 16). The only visible
component of the right multi-function switch is the
control stalk that extends through a dedicated open-
ing in the right side of the steering column shrouds.
The remainder of the right multi-function switch is
concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The
switch housing and its control stalk are constructed
of molded black plastic. A single connector receptacle
containing up to ten terminal pins is located on the
back of the switch housing and connects the switch
to the vehicle electrical system through a take out
and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The switch is secured to the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering col-
umn by two screws.
There are two versions of the right multi-function
switch: one to support the standard equipment speed
sensitive intermittent front wiper system, and a sec-
ond to support the optional front automatic wiper
system. Each version of the right multi-function
switch control stalk has both white nomenclature
and International Control and Display Symbol icons
applied to it, which clearly identify its many func-
tions. The control stalk has a control knob on its end
with a flattened face to allow it to be easily rotated.
Just below the control knob is a knurled control
sleeve. The right multi-function switch is the primary
control for the front and rear wiper and washer sys-
tems, and contains switches and circuitry to provide
signals to the Body Control Module (BCM) and the
rear wiper module.
The right (wiper) multi-function switch cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is
faulty, or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch
unit must be replaced.
The right (wiper) multi-function switch supports
the following functions and features:
²Automatic Front Wipe Mode- On models
equipped with the optional automatic wiper system,
the internal circuitry and hardware of the right
(wiper) multi-function switch control knob provide an
automatic front wipe mode with five sensitivity posi-
tions.
²Continuous Front Wipe Modes- The internal
circuitry and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch control knob provide two continuous
front wipe switch positions, low speed or high speed.

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-
WJFRONT WIPERS/WASHERS 8R - 21
RIGHT MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH (Continued)

function switch provides a resistor multiplexed out-
put 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) to operate the front
wiper motor momentarily at low speed to provide the
front wiper mist mode.
²Intermittent Front Wipe Mode- On models
not equipped with the optional automatic wiper sys-
tem, 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 intermittent front wipe delay interval. The
control knob is rotated rearward (counterclockwise)
to increase the delay, or forward (clockwise) to
decrease the delay. The right (wiper) multi-function
switch provides a resistor multiplexed output to the
Body Control Module (BCM) on a windshield wiper
switch mux circuit. The BCM responds by monitoring
electronic vehicle speed messages received from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus,
then energizing the wiper on/off relay in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) to operate the front wiper
motor at the proper delay intervals.
²Intermittent Rear Wipe Mode- The control
ring on the right (wiper) multi-function switch con-
trol stalk is rotated to the center detent to select the
intermittent rear wiper mode. The right (wiper)
multi-function switch provides a battery current out-
put to the rear wiper motor on a rear wiper motor
delay control circuit to signal the rear wiper module
to operate the rear wiper in the intermittent wipe
mode.
²Rear Washer Mode- The right (wiper) multi-
function switch control stalk is pushed forward
toward the instrument panel to a momentary posi-
tions to activate the rear washer pump/motor in the
rear washer mode. The rear washer pump will con-
tinue to operate in the rear washer mode until the
control stalk is released. The right (wiper) multi-
function switch provides battery current on a rear
washer pump motor control circuit to energize the
rear washer pump in the rear washer mode.DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RIGHT MULTI-
FUNCTION SWITCH

WASHER RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
A single washer fluid reservoir is used for both the
front and rear washer systems (Fig. 22). The molded
plastic washer fluid reservoir is concealed between
the left front inner and outer fender panels, behind
the inner fender liner in front of the left front wheel.
The only visible component of the washer reservoir is
the filler neck and cap unit, which extends through a
hole in the left front wheel house extension panel
into the engine compartment. A bright yellow plastic
filler cap with a rubber seal and an International
Control and Display Symbol icon for ªWindshield
Washerº and the text ªWasher Fluid Onlyº molded
into it snaps over the open end of the filler neck. The
cap hinges on and is secured to a molded-in hook for-
mation on the rear of the reservoir filler neck.There are separate, dedicated holes on the out-
board side of the reservoir provided for the mounting
of the front and rear washer/pump motor units, and
another dedicated hole on the front of the reservoir
for the washer fluid level switch. The inboard side of
the washer reservoir has an integral flange that is
secured to the inside of the left front fender wheel
house by two screws, while an integral molded tab
engages a slot in the left front fender inner shield to
support the outboard side of the reservoir. Another
screw secures the reservoir filler neck to the left
front fender inner shield near the front of the engine
compartment. The left front fender wheel house
inner liner must be removed to access the washer
reservoir for service.
The washer reservoir cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. The washer
reservoir, the grommet seals for the washer pump/
motor units and the washer fluid level switch, and
the filler cap are each available for service replace-
ment.
OPERATION
The washer fluid reservoir provides a secure,
on-vehicle storage location for a large reserve of
washer fluid for operation of the front and rear
washer systems. The washer reservoir filler neck pro-
vides a clearly marked and readily accessible point
from which to add washer fluid to the reservoir. The
front and rear washer/pump motor units are located
in a sump area near the front of the reservoir to be
certain that washer fluid will be available to the
pumps as the fluid level in the reservoir becomes
depleted. The front washer pump/motor unit is
mounted in the lowest position in the sump so that
the front washers will operate even after the rear
washer system will no longer operate. The washer
fluid level switch is mounted just above the sump
area of the reservoir so that there will be adequate
warning to the vehicle operator that the washer fluid
level is low, before the washer system will no longer
operate.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the air cleaner housing from the top of
the left front fender wheel house. (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/AIR INTAKE SYSTEM/AIR CLEANER

WIPER HIGH/LOW RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The wiper high/low relay is located in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine compart-
ment near the battery. The wiper high/low relay is a
conventional International Standards Organization
(ISO) micro relay (Fig. 25). Relays conforming to the
ISO specifications have common physical dimensions,
current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal
functions. The relay is contained within a small, rect-
angular, molded plastic housing and is connected to
all of the required inputs and outputs by five integral
male spade-type terminals that extend from the bot-
tom of the relay base.
The wiper high/low relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The wiper high/low relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Body
Control Module (BCM) to control a high current out-
put to the front wiper motor. The movable common
feed contact point is held against the fixed normally
closed contact point by spring pressure. When the
relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is
produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic
field draws the movable relay contact point away
from the fixed normally closed contact point, and
holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The wiper high/low relay terminals are connected
to the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
The inputs and outputs of the wiper high/low relay
include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) is connected to the output of the wiper
on/off relay at all times through the wiper on/off
relay output circuit.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the Body
Control Module (BCM) through a front wiper high/
low relay control circuit. The BCM controls front
wiper motor operation by controlling a ground path
through this circuit.
²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) receives battery current at all times from
a circuit breaker in the Junction Block (JB) through
a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit.

(6) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
WIPER ON/OFF RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The wiper on/off relay is located in the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC) in the engine compartment
near the battery. The wiper on/off relay is a conven-
tional International Standards Organization (ISO)
micro relay (Fig. 28). Relays conforming to the ISO
specifications have common physical dimensions, cur-
rent capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal func-
tions. The relay is contained within a small,
rectangular, molded plastic housing and is connected
to all of the required inputs and outputs by five inte-
gral male spade-type terminals that extend from the
bottom of the relay base.
The wiper on/off relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The wiper on/off relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Body
Control Module (BCM) to control a high current out-
put to the front wiper motor. The movable common
feed contact point is held against the fixed normally
closed contact point by spring pressure. When the
relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is
produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic
field draws the movable relay contact point away
from the fixed normally closed contact point, and
holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The wiper on/off relay terminals are connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
The inputs and outputs of the wiper on/off relay
include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) is connected to the common feed termi-
nal of the wiper high/low relay at all times through
the wiper on/off relay output circuit.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the Body
Control Module (BCM) through a front wiper on/off
relay control circuit. The BCM controls front wiper
motor operation by controlling a ground path through
this circuit.
²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) receives battery current at all times from
a circuit breaker in the Junction Block (JB) through
a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) receives battery current at all times
from a circuit breaker in the Junction Block (JB)
through a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) cir-
cuit, and provides battery current to the front wiper
on/off relay output circuit whenever the relay is ener-
gized.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is connected to the wiper park
switch in the front wiper motor through the front
wiper park switch sense circuit, and is connected to
the wiper park switch whenever the relay is de-ener-
gized.
The wiper on/off relay can be diagnosed using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and methods.

OK, repair the open ground circuit to ground (G106)
as required.
(3) Reconnect the battery negative cable. Turn the
ignition switch to the On position. Push the right
multi-function switch control stalk toward the instru-
ment panel to actuate the rear washer switch. With
the rear washer switch actuated, check for battery
voltage at the rear washer switch output circuit cav-
ity of the left headlamp and dash wire harness con-
nector for the rear washer pump/motor unit. If OK,
replace the faulty rear washer pump/motor unit. If
not OK, repair the open rear washer switch output
circuit between the rear washer pump/motor unit
and the right multi-function switch as required.
CLEANING - REAR WIPER & WASHER SYSTEM
WIPER SYSTEM
The squeegee of a wiper blade exposed to the ele-
ments for a long time tends to lose its wiping effec-
tiveness. Periodic cleaning of the squeegee is
suggested to remove any deposits of salt or road film.
The wiper blade, arm, and liftgate glass should only
be cleaned using a sponge or soft cloth and wind-
shield washer fluid, a mild detergent, or a non-abra-
sive cleaner. If the wiper blade continues to leave
streaks, smears, hazing, or beading on the glass after
thorough cleaning of the squeegees and the glass, the
entire wiper blade assembly must be replaced.
CAUTION: Protect the rubber squeegee of the wiper
blade from any petroleum-based cleaners, solvents,
or contaminants. These products can rapidly deteri-
orate the rubber squeegee.
WASHER SYSTEM
If the washer system is contaminated with foreign
material, drain the washer reservoir by removing the
front washer pump/motor from the reservoir. Clean
foreign material from the inside of the washer reser-
voir using clean washer fluid, a mild detergent, or a
non-abrasive cleaner. Flush foreign material from the
washer system plumbing by first disconnecting the
washer hose from the washer nozzle, then running
the washer pump/motor to run clean washer fluid or
water through the system. A plugged or restricted
washer nozzle should be carefully back-flushed usingcompressed air. If the washer nozzle obstruction can-
not be cleared, replace the washer nozzle.
CAUTION: Never introduce petroleum-based clean-
ers, solvents, or contaminants into the washer sys-
tem. These products can rapidly deteriorate the
rubber seals and hoses of the washer system, as
well as the rubber squeegee of the wiper blade.
CAUTION: Never use compressed air to flush the
washer system plumbing. Compressed air pres-
sures are too great for the washer system plumbing
components and will result in further system dam-
age. Never use sharp instruments to clear a
plugged washer nozzle or damage to the nozzle ori-
fice and improper nozzle spray patterns will result.
INSPECTION - REAR WIPER & WASHER
SYSTEM
WIPER SYSTEM
The rear wiper blade and wiper arm should be
inspected periodically, not just when wiper perfor-
mance problems are experienced. This inspection
should include the following points:
(1) Inspect the wiper arm for any indications of
damage, or contamination. If the wiper arm is con-
taminated with any foreign material, clean as
required. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/REAR WIPERS/
WASHERS - CLEANING). If a wiper arm is damaged
or corrosion is evident, replace the wiper arm with a
new unit. Do not attempt to repair a wiper arm that
is damaged or corroded.
(2) Carefully lift the wiper arm off of the ramp.
Note the action of the wiper arm hinge. The wiper
arm should pivot freely at the hinge, but with no lat-
eral looseness evident. If there is any binding evident
in the wiper arm hinge, or there is evident lateral
play in the wiper arm hinge, replace the wiper arm.
CAUTION: Do not allow the wiper arm to spring
back against the glass without the wiper blade in
place or the glass may be damaged.
(3) Once proper hinge action of the wiper arm is
confirmed, check the hinge for proper spring tension.
The spring tension of the wiper arm should be suffi-
cient to cause the rubber squeegee to conform to the
curvature of the glass. Replace a wiper arm if it has
low or no spring tension.
(4) Inspect the wiper blade and squeegee for any
indications of damage, contamination, or rubber dete-
rioration (Fig. 1). If the wiper blade or squeegee is
contaminated with any foreign material, clean them
and the glass as required. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
