FRONT WIPER ARM
DESCRIPTION
The front wiper arms are the rigid members
located between the wiper pivots that protrude from
the cowl plenum cover/grille panel near the base of
the windshield and the wiper blades on the wind-
shield glass. These wiper arms feature an over-center
hinge that allows easy access to the windshield glass
for cleaning. The wiper arm has a die cast metal
pivot end with a large mounting hole with internal
serrations at one end. A molded black plastic cap fits
over the wiper arm retaining nut to conceal the nut
and this mounting hole following wiper arm installa-
tion. The wide end of a tapered, stamped steel chan-
nel hinges on and is secured with a hinge pin to the
blade end of the wiper arm pivot end. One end of a
long, rigid, stamped steel strap, with a small hole
near its pivot end, is riveted and crimped within the
narrow end of the stamped steel channel. The tip of
the wiper blade end of this strap is bent back under
itself to form a small hook. Concealed within the
stamped steel channel, one end of a long spring is
engaged with a wire hook on the underside of the die
cast pivot end, while the other end of the spring is
hooked through the small hole in the steel strap. The
entire wiper arm has a satin black finish applied to
all of its visible surfaces.
A wiper arm cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
damaged or faulty, the entire wiper arm unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The front wiper arms are designed to mechanically
transmit the motion from the wiper pivots to the
wiper blades. The wiper arm must be properly
indexed to the wiper pivot in order to maintain the
proper wiper blade travel on the glass. The mounting
hole formation with internal serrations in the wiper
arm pivot end interlocks with the serrations on the
outer circumference of the wiper pivot driver, allow-
ing positive engagement and finite adjustment of this

the more frequently the RSM will send wipe com-
mands to the BCM to operate the front wiper system.
The RSM operates on battery current received
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) on a fused
B(+) circuit. This circuit is switched by the power
accessory (sunroof) delay relay in the JB so that the
RSM will operate whenever the relay is energized by
the BCM. The RSM receives ground at all times
through a take out of the left body wire harness with
an eyelet terminal that is secured by a ground screw
to the front seat crossmember on the floor panel
under the left front seat. It is important to note that
the default condition for the wiper system is auto-
matic wipers Off; therefore, if no message is received
from the RSM by the BCM for more than about five
seconds, the automatic wipers will be disabled and
the BCM will default the front wiper system opera-
tion to the low speed continuous wipe mode.
The RSM ground and battery current inputs can be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods. However, conventional diagnostic methods
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the RSM
internal circuitry, the BCM, the PCI data bus net-
work, or the electronic messages received and trans-
mitted by the RSM over the PCI data bus. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the RSM requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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-

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
