The wiper motor is serviced separately from the wiper assembly. The wiper linkage is crimped onto the assembly and cannot be detached. The wiper function can be checked using the scan tool.

WASHER SYSTEM

This vehicle is equipped with an electrically operated windshield washer pump. The washers are operated by a switch in the right multi-function switch control lever.

The electric pump assembly is mounted directly to the reservoir. A permanently lubricated motor is coupled to an impeller type pump. The pump and reservoir are serviced as separate assemblies.

On vehicles for sale outside of North America, there is a headlamp washer bottle on vehicles that have the optional headlamp washers, which has an additional pump and a relay mounted to the bottle which is serviceable.
