For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical

- When Monitored:
Continuously.

- Set Condition:
If the voltage detected by the BCM on the Heated Windshield Relay Control circuit is other than expected.





Diagnostic Test

1. ERASE AND ATTEMPT TO RESET DTC
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, record and erase the current Body Control Module DTC's.
Start the engine.
Operate the heated windshield switch several time.
With the scan tool, read the current Body Control Module DTC's.
Does the scan tool display: 9079-WINDSHIELD HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH?

Yes

- Go To2

No

- The condition that caused this symptom is currently not present. Inspect the related wiring harness for a possible intermittent condition.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Verification Tests

2. INSTALL KNOWN GOOD RELAY
Turn the ignition off.
Substitute the original Heated Windshield Relay with a known good relay.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, erase the current Body Control Module DTCs.
Start the engine.
Operate the Heated Windshield switch several times.
With the scan tool, read the current Body Control Module DTC's.
Does the scan tool display: 9079-WINDSHIELD HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH?

Yes

- Go To3

No

- Replace the original Heated Windshield Relay.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Verification Tests

3. OPEN GROUND CIRCUIT
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Heated Windshield Relay.
Measure the resistance of the Ground circuit at the Heated Windshield Relay connector.
Is the resistance above 3.0 ohms?

Yes

- Repair the open relay Ground circuit.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Verification Tests

No

- Go To4

4. HEATED WINDSHIELD RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Heated Windshield Relay.
Disconnect the Body Control Module C9 connector.
Measure the voltage of the Heated Windshield Relay Control circuit at the relay connector to ground.
Turn the ignition On.
Is the voltage above 1.0 volt?

Yes

- Repair the Heated Windshield Relay Control circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Verification Tests

No

- Go To5

5. HEATED WINDSHIELD RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN
Turn the ignition off.
Measure the resistance of the Heated Windshield Relay Control circuit between the BCM connector and the relay connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

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

No

- Repair the Heated Windshield Relay Control circuit for an open.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Verification Tests
