Is the voltage above 4.8 volts?

Yes

- Go To2

No

- Go To6

2. (W52) FRONT WIPER SWITCH MUX CIRCUIT OPEN




Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Wiper/Washer Switch harness connector.
Disconnect the BCM C5 harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the (W52) Front Wiper Switch MUX circuit between the BCM C5 harness connector and the Wiper/Washer Switch harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go To3

No

- Repair the (W52) Front Wiper Switch MUX circuit for an open.

Is the voltage above 1.0 volt?

Yes

- Repair the (W52) Front Wiper Switch MUX circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.Body Verification Test

No

- Go To5

5. BODY CONTROL MODULE
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Wiper/Washer Switch harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Connect a jumper wire between the (W52) Front Wiper Switch MUX circuit and the (G902) Multi-Function Switch MUX Return circuit.
With the scan tool, read the Front Wiper Switch volts?
Is the voltage below 0.5 volt?

Yes

- Replace the Wiper/Washer Switch.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.Body Verification Test

No

- Replace the Body Control Module.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.Body Verification Test

6. INTERMITTENT WIRING PROBLEM
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, erase all BCM DTCs.
Turn the ignition off.

NOTE: Visually inspect the related wiring harness and circuits. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.

NOTE: Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.

NOTE: Search for any Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) that may apply.

Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

No

- Test Complete.
