DTC Descriptor

DTC B3875 00

-
Wiper High Speed Relay Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) monitors the wiper high speed relay control circuit only when wiper high speed mode is active. When the wiper high speed mode is requested, the BCM responds by applying a ground through the wiper high speed relay control circuit to the coil side of the relay, energizing the WPR HI Relay.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The BCM output is actively being requested.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to B+ in the windshield washer pump relay control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM will not activate the output.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The current DTC will become history when the request for the output is removed or when the condition for setting the fault is corrected.

* The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, wiper switch in the HIGH position. Verify the windshield wipers are cycling at the high speed.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X5 harness connector at the BCM.

2. Install a 10 A fused jumper wire between the WPR relay control circuit terminal 20 and B+.

3. Ignition ON, verify that the high speed wipers are not on.

If the high speed wipers are on, test the WIPER HI relay control circuit terminal 21 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the underhood fuse block.

4. If all circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
