Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the rear wiper/washer switch.
  2. Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Reconnect the harness connector at the rear wiper/washer switch. Disconnect the harness connector at the rear window wiper motor.
  4. Test for less than 20 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  5. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test he B+ circuit for an open/high resistance. If the RR WPR fuse is open, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the rear window wiper motor.
  6. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal D and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test he ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  7. Ignition OFF, liftgate closed, test for less than 20 ohms of resistance between the signal circuit terminal F and ground.
  8. Rear wiper switch closed, test for less than 10 ohms of resistance between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the rear wiper/washer switch.
  9. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the rear window wiper motor.
