Circuit/System Description
The windshield washer function is controlled by the body control module (BCM). When the washer switch is pressed, ground is applied through the
switch contacts and the signal circuit to the BCM indicating the wash request. The BCM then applies ground through the control circuit to the coil
side of the WSH Relay energizing the relay. With the relay energized, battery voltage from the WPR fuse is applied through the switch contacts of
the relay, the WSW/PUMP Fuse, and the control circuit to the windshield washer fluid pump.
Conditions for Running the DTC
This DTC can set only when the output is actively being requested by the BCM.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
This DTC sets if the BCM detects a short to voltage 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
Operate the washers using the WASH switch. Verify the washer pump activates.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the BCM.
2. Ignition ON, verify the windshield washer pump is not on.
锟斤拷 If the windshield washer pump is on, test the windshield washer pump relay control circuit terminal 15 for a short to ground. If the circuit
tests normal replace the underhood fuse block.
3. Install a 10A fused jumper wire between the relay control circuit terminal 15 and ground. Verify the windshield washer pump is on.
锟斤拷 If the windshield washer pump is not on, test the relay control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests
normal replace the underhood fuse block.
4. If all circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
