WASHER FLUID LEVEL
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The washer fluid level switch is a single pole, sin-
gle throw reed-type switch mounted at the rear of
the sump area near the bottom of the washer reser-
voir (Fig. 16). Only the molded plastic switch mount-
ing flange and the integral connector receptacle are
visible when the switch is installed in the reservoir.
A short nipple formation extends from the inner sur-
face of the switch mounting flange, and a barb on the
nipple near the switch mounting flange is pressed
through a rubber grommet seal installed in the
mounting hole of the reservoir. A small, molded plas-
tic float has two pivot pins near its center that are
snapped into two receptacles near the ends of two
stanchions that extend toward the float from the
switch nipple formation. A small magnet is secured
within the end of the float nearest the switch nipple
formation, and a reed switch is concealed within the
nipple. A diagnostic resistor is connected between the
two switch terminals within the switch mounting
flange. The washer fluid level switch cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the switch
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The washer fluid level switch uses a pivoting,
oblong float to monitor the level of the washer fluid
in the washer reservoir. The float contains a small
magnet. When the float pivots, the proximity of this
magnet to a stationary reed switch within the nipple
formation of the switch changes. When the fluid level
in the washer reservoir is at or above the float level,
the float moves to a vertical position, the influence of
the float magnetic field is removed from the reed
switch, and the normally open reed switch contacts
open. When the fluid level in the washer reservoir
falls below the level of the pivoting float, the float
moves to a horizontal position, the influence of the
float magnetic field is applied to the reed switch, and
the contacts of the normally open reed switch close.
The washer fluid level switch is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire
harness. The switch is connected in series between
ground and the washer fluid switch sense input to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC).
The switch receives a path to ground at all times
through another take out of the headlamp and dash
wire harness with a single eyelet terminal connector
that is secured under a ground screw near the front
of the left front fender inner shield in the engine
compartment. When the switch closes, the EMIC
senses the ground on the washer fluid switch sense
circuit. The EMIC is programmed to respond to this
input by illuminating the washer fluid indicator and
by sounding an audible chime tone warning.
The washer fluid level switch input to the EMIC
can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools
and methods. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRU-
MENT CLUSTER/WASHER FLUID INDICATOR -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
REMOVAL
The washer fluid level switch can be removed from
the washer reservoir without removing the reservoir
from the vehicle.

WASHER PUMP/MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The washer pump/motor unit (Fig. 18) is located on
the outboard side of the washer reservoir, on the out-
board side of the right front frame rail behind the
right front wheel house splash shield. A small perma-
nently lubricated and sealed reversible electric motor
is coupled to the rotor-type washer pump. The use of
an integral shuttle valve allows the washer pump/
motor unit to provide washer fluid to either the front
or the rear washer systems, depending upon the
direction of the motor/pump impeller rotation. A seal
flange with a barbed inlet nipple on the pump hous-
ing passes through a rubber grommet seal installed
in a dedicated mounting hole of the washer reservoir.
When the pump is installed in the reservoir the front
barbed outlet nipple on the pump shuttle valve hous-
ing connects the unit to the front washer hose and
the rear barbed outlet nipple connects the unit to the
rear washer hose. The letters ªFº and ªRº molded
into the shuttle valve housing adjacent to each nipple
provide further clarification of the nipple assign-
ments.
The washer pump/motor unit is retained on the
reservoir by the interference fit between the barbed
pump inlet nipple and the grommet seal, which is a
light press fit. The top of the washer pump is also
secured to the washer reservoir by the use of a snap
post on the motor and a snap post receptacle molded
into the reservoir that allows for mounting of the
washer pump without the use of fasteners. An inte-
gral connector receptacle on the top of the motor

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 theISO 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.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) is connected to the high speed brush of
the front wiper motor through a front wiper high/low
relay high speed output circuit, and is connected to
the high speed brush whenever the relay is ener-
gized.

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.

control stalk to a detent position selects the Off,
Delay, or On rear wiper system operating modes.
Rotating the control ring on the control stalk to
either of two Wash positions actuates the momentary
rear washer system switch. The multi-function
switch provides hard wired outputs to the rear wiper
module and the washer pump/motor unit for all rear
wiper and washer system functions.
The rear wiper and washer system will only oper-
ate when the ignition switch is in the Accessory or
On positions, and the rear flip-up glass and tailgate
ajar switches are closed. Battery current is directed
from a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) to the multi-
function switch through a fused ignition switch out-
put (run-acc) circuit. The internal circuitry of the
right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function
switch then provides battery current signals through
a rear wiper on driver circuit and a rear wiper inter-
mittent driver circuit to the rear wiper module and
to the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM uses
these rear wiper system inputs as a signal to lock the
rear flip-up glass and the tailgate to prevent the rear
flip-up glass or tailgate from being opened for as long
as the rear wiper is operating. The multi-function
switch circuitry also uses this battery current and a
ground circuit input to directly control the operation
and direction of the reversible electric washer pump/
motor unit.
A separate fuse in the JB provides battery current
to the electronic control circuitry of the rear wiper
module through a fused B(+) circuit. The rear wiper
module uses this fused B(+) input to park the rear
wiper blade off of the rear flip-up glass if the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position while the rear
wiper is operating, or if the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position before the rear wiper blade has
parked. However, if the ignition switch is turned to
the Off position while the rear wiper is operating,
then turned back On, the rear wiper switch must be
cycled to the Off position and back to the On or
Delay position before the rear wiper will operate
again. In addition, the rear wiper module receives an
input from the rear flip-up glass ajar switch on a
flip-up glass ajar switch sense circuit, which prevents
the rear wiper from operating when the flip-up glass
is not closed or fully latched.
The hard wired circuits and components of the rear
wiper and washer system may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. Following are paragraphs that briefly describe
the operation of each of the rear wiper and washer
system operating modes.
CONTINUOUS WIPE MODE When the On posi-
tion of the control ring on the right (wiper) control
stalk of the multi-function switch is selected, the
multi-function switch circuitry directs a battery cur-rent signal to the rear wiper module through the
rear wiper on driver circuit, causing the rear wiper to
cycle continuously at a fixed speed.
INTERMITTENT WIPE MODE When the Delay
position of the control ring on the right (wiper) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch is selected, the
multi-function switch circuitry directs a battery cur-
rent signal to the rear wiper module through the
rear wiper intermittent driver circuit, causing the
rear wiper to cycle intermittently at a fixed delay
interval.
WASH MODE When the momentary Wash (after
On) position of the control ring on the right (wiper)
control stalk of the multi-function switch is selected,
the multi-function switch circuitry directs both bat-
tery current and ground to the washer pump/motor
unit, and a battery current signal to be provided to
the rear wiper module through the rear wiper on
driver circuit. This will cause the washer pump/mo-
tor unit to be energized and the rear wiper to cycle
continuously at a fixed speed for as long as the rear
Wash switch is held closed.
WIPE-AFTER-WASH MODE When the momentary
Wash (before Off) position of the control ring on the
right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function
switch is selected, the multi-function switch circuitry
directs both battery current and ground to the
washer pump/motor unit, and a battery current sig-
nal to be provided to the rear wiper module through
the rear wiper on driver circuit. This will cause the
washer pump/motor unit to be energized and the rear
wiper to cycle continuously at a fixed speed for as
long as the rear Wash switch is held closed. When
the control ring is released to the Off position, the
washer pump/motor is de-energized, but the circuitry
within the rear wiper module will provide several
additional wipe cycles to complete the wipe-after-
wash mode cycle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR WIPER &
WASHER SYSTEM
REAR 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
rear flip-up glass, inspect the mechanical connection
between the rear wiper arm and the rear wiper
motor output shaft. If OK, replace the faulty rear
wiper module. If the wiper operates, but chatters,
lifts, or does not clear the glass, clean and inspect
the rear wiper system components as required. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/REAR WIPERS/WASHERS -
INSPECTION) and (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
REAR WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING). Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring infor-

REAR WIPERS/WASHERS (Continued)
REAR WASHER SYSTEM
The washer system components should be
inspected periodically, not just when washer perfor-
mance problems are experienced. This inspection
should include the following points:
(1) Check for ice or other foreign material in the
washer reservoir. If contaminated, clean and flush
the washer system. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
REAR WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING).
(2) Inspect the washer plumbing for pinched, leak-
ing, deteriorated, or incorrectly routed hoses and
damaged or disconnected hose fittings. Replace dam-
aged or deteriorated hoses and hose fittings. Leaking
washer hoses can sometimes be repaired by cutting
the hose at the leak and splicing it back together
using an in-line connector fitting. Similarly, sections
of deteriorated hose can be cut out and replaced by
splicing in new sections of hose using in-line connec-
tor fittings. Whenever routing a washer hose or a
wire harness containing a washer hose, it must be
routed away from hot, sharp, or moving parts. Also,
sharp bends that might pinch the washer hose must
be avoided.
REAR CHECK VALVE
DESCRIPTION
A rear washer system check valve is standard
equipment on this model (Fig. 3). The rear check
valve is located in the washer plumbing between the
rear roof header and the roof outer panel near the
rear washer nozzle. The rear check valve consists of
a molded plastic body with a round center sectionand barbed hose nipples at each end. An arrow for-
mation molded into the center section of the valve
body indicates the direction of flow through the
valve. The rear check valve cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The rear check valve prevents washer fluid from
draining out of the rear washer supply hoses back to
the washer reservoir. This drain-back would result in
a lengthy delay from when the rear washer switch is
actuated until washer fluid was dispensed through
the rear washer nozzle, because the washer pump
would have to refill the rear washer plumbing from
the reservoir to the nozzle. The check valve also pre-
vents washer fluid from siphoning through the rear
washer nozzle after the rear washer system is turned
Off.
Within the check valve body, a small check valve is
held in place against a seat by a small coiled spring
to restrict flow through the unit until the valve is
unseated by a predetermined inlet fluid pressure.
When the washer pump pressurizes and pumps
washer fluid from the reservoir through the rear
washer plumbing, the fluid pressure overrides the
spring pressure applied to the check ball within the
valve and unseats the valve, allowing washer fluid to
flow toward the rear washer nozzle. When the
washer pump stops operating, spring pressure seats
the check valve and fluid flow in either direction
within the rear washer plumbing is prevented.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp
(CHMSL) unit from the rear of the roof panel. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERI-

REAR WASHER HOSES/TUBES
DESCRIPTION
The rear washer plumbing consists of small diam-
eter rubber hose routed from the barbed outlet nipple
of the reversible electric washer pump/motor unit on
the washer reservoir through a trough molded into
the reservoir rearward of the washer pump up to the
top of the reservoir. Near the base of the reservoir
filler neck an in-line plastic fitting connects the res-
ervoir rear washer hose to the engine compartment
rear washer hose, which is routed through the reser-
voir filler neck opening in the front extension of the
right front fender wheel house panel in to the engine
compartment. The engine compartment rear washer
hose is routed side by side with the front washer
hose along the top of the right front fender wheel
house to the dash panel. Molded plastic routing clips
secure the hoses to the headlamp and dash wire har-
ness in the engine compartment.
The engine compartment rear washer hose is con-
nected to the headliner washer hose near the right
side of the dash panel with a molded plastic in-line
fitting (Fig. 5). The headliner hose has a rubber
grommet that allows it to pass through the dash
panel from the passenger compartment into the
engine compartment. The headliner hose is routed
below the instrument panel in the passenger com-
partment near the right cowl side inner panel. The
hose is routed up the right A-pillar to the headliner.
Mounting clips secure the hose to the A-pillar. The
