VACUUM RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
The vacuum reservoir is a plastic storage tank con-
nected to an engine vacuum source by vacuum lines.
A vacuum reservoir is not used with diesel engines or
the 5.7L gas powered engine.
OPERATION
The vacuum reservoir is used to supply the vac-
uum needed to maintain proper speed control opera-
tion when engine vacuum drops, such as in climbing
a grade while driving. A one-way check valve is used
in the vacuum line between the reservoir and the
vacuum source. This check valve is used to trap
engine vacuum in the reservoir. On certain vehicle
applications, this reservoir is shared with the heat-
ing/air-conditioning system. The vacuum reservoir
cannot be repaired and must be replaced if faulty.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VACUUM
RESERVOIR
(1) Disconnect vacuum hose at speed control servo
and install a vacuum gauge into the disconnected
hose.

²Washer Pump/Motor- The electric washer
pump/motor unit is located in a dedicated hole on the
rearward facing surface of the washer reservoir in
the engine compartment.
²Washer Reservoir- On all models except those
with an optional V-10 or diesel engine, the washer
reservoir is secured by integral mounting tabs and a
snap feature to slots in the right side of the cooling
module shroud in the engine compartment. On mod-
els with an optional V-10 or diesel engine, the washer
reservoir is secured by screws to the back of the
upright left vertical member of the radiator support
in the engine compartment. The washer reservoir
filler neck is accessed from the engine compartment.
²Wiper Arm- The two wiper arms are secured
with integral latches to the serrated ends of the two
wiper pivot shafts, which extend through the cowl
plenum cover/grille panel located near the base of the
windshield.
²Wiper Blade- The two wiper blades are
secured to the two wiper arms with an integral latch,
and are parked on the glass near the bottom of the
windshield when the wiper system is not in opera-
tion.
²Wiper High/Low Relay- The wiper high/low
relay is an International Standards Organization
(ISO) micro relay located in the Integrated Power
Module (IPM) in the engine compartment near the
battery.
²Wiper Module- The wiper pivot shafts are the
only visible components of the wiper module. The
remainder of the module is concealed within the cowl
plenum area beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille
panel. The wiper module includes the wiper module
bracket, four rubber-isolated wiper module mounts,
the wiper motor, the wiper motor crank arm, the two
wiper drive links, and the two wiper pivots.
²Wiper On/Off Relay- The wiper on/off relay is
an International Standards Organization (ISO) micro
relay located in the Integrated Power Module (IPM)
in the engine compartment near the battery.
Hard wired circuitry connects the wiper and
washer system components to the electrical system of
the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to
several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout
the vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the wiper and washer
system components through the use of a combination
of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATING MODES
The components of the wiper and washer system
are designed to work in concert to provide the follow-
ing operating modes:
²Continuous Wipe Mode- The control knob on
the control stalk of the multi-function switch has two
continuous wipe positions, Low and High. When
selected, these switch positions will cause the two-
speed wiper motor to operate in a continuous low or
high speed cycle.
²Intermittent Wipe Mode- The control knob on
the control stalk of the multi-function switch has five
minor detent intermittent wipe positions. When
selected, these switch positions will cause the wiper
system to operate with one of five delay intervals
between complete wipe cycles. The intermittent wipe
delay intervals are speed sensitive and will be dou-
bled when the vehicle speed is about sixteen kilome-
ters-per-hour (ten miles-per-hour) or less.
²Pulse Wipe Mode- When the control knob on
the control stalk of the multi-function switch is
depressed to the momentary Wash position for less
than about one-half second, the wiper system will
operate the wipers for one complete low speed cycle,
then will park the wiper blades near the base of the
windshield.
²Washer Mode- When the control knob on the
control stalk of the multi-function switch is
depressed to the momentary Wash position for more
than about one-half second with the wiper system
turned Off, the washer pump/motor and the wipers
will operate for as long as the washer switch is held
closed up to about thirty seconds, then the wipe-af-
ter-wash mode is invoked when the control knob is
released. When the Wash position is selected with
the wiper system operating in a continuous wipe
mode, washer fluid will be dispensed onto the wind-
shield glass through the washer nozzles for as long
as the washer switch is held closed up to about thirty
seconds. When the Wash position is selected with the
wiper system operating in an intermittent wipe
mode, washer fluid is still dispensed until the control
knob is released; however, the wipers will operate in
a low speed continuous cycle from the time the
washer switch is closed until several wipe cycles
after the switch is released, before returning to the
selected intermittent wipe interval. If the control
knob is held in the depressed Wash position for more
than about thirty seconds, washer system operation
will be suspended until the control knob is released
for about two seconds then cycled back to the Wash
position.

The washer fluid level switch is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the right (except V-10 and diesel
engines) or left (V-10 and diesel engines only) head-
lamp and dash wire harness. The switch is connected
in series between a clean ground output of the Front
Control Module (FCM) on a sensor return circuit and
the washer fluid switch sense input to the FCM.
When the switch closes, the FMC senses the ground
on the washer fluid switch sense circuit. The FMC is
programmed to respond to this input by sending an
electronic washer fluid indicator lamp-on message to
the instrument cluster over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus. The instru-
ment cluster responds to this message by
illuminating the washer fluid indicator and by sound-
ing an audible chime tone warning.
The washer fluid level switch may be diagnosed
and tested using conventional diagnostic tools and
procedures. However, conventional diagnostic meth-
ods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
instrument cluster, the Front Control Module (FCM),
or the electronic message inputs to or outputs from
the instrument cluster and the FCM that control the
operation of the washer fluid visual and/or audible
indicators. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the washer fluid level indicator,
the instrument cluster, the FCM, or the electronic
message inputs and outputs related to the washer
fluid indicator requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
REMOVAL
The washer fluid level switch can be removed from
the washer reservoir without removing the reservoir
from the vehicle.
(1) Unlatch and open the hood.
(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative

WASHER HOSES/TUBES
DESCRIPTION
The washer plumbing consists of a small diameter
rubber reservoir washer hose that is routed from the
barbed outlet nipple of the electric washer pump/mo-
tor unit on the washer reservoir through a trough
molded into the back of the reservoir above the
washer pump and to the engine compartment washer
hose (Fig. 9). On models equipped with an optional
V-10 or diesel engine, the reservoir washer hose is
routed through routing clips on the top of the radia-
tor fan shroud from the washer reservoir on the left
side of the radiator to the engine compartment
washer hose on the right side of the radiator. The
engine compartment washer hose is contained within
the right headlamp and dash wire harness, which is
routed through the engine compartment along the
top of the right front fender wheel house to the dash
panel.
The engine compartment washer hose is connected
to the washer reservoir washer hose and to the cowl
plenum washer hose with molded plastic in-line fit-tings that have a barbed nipple on each end. The
cowl plenum washer hose is routed from the engine
compartment into the cowl plenum area through a
trough formation located near the right end of the
cowl plenum cover/grille panel. The cowl plenum
washer hose is connected to the washer system check
valve/wye fitting on the underside of the cowl plenum
cover/grille panel. The cowl plenum washer hose and
the two washer nozzle hoses are routed through inte-
gral routing clips on the underside of the cowl ple-
num cover/grille panel. The cowl plenum washer hose
is connected to one nipple on the wye fitting and the
two washer nozzle hoses are connected to the other
two wye fitting nipples. The washer nozzle hoses are
then routed along the underside of the cowl plenum
cover/grille panel to the two washer nozzles.
Washer hose is available for service only as roll
stock, which must then be cut to length. The molded
plastic washer hose fittings cannot be repaired. If
these fittings are faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
OPERATION
Washer fluid in the washer reservoir is pressurized
and fed by the washer pump/motor through the
washer system plumbing and fittings to the two
washer nozzles. Whenever routing the washer hose
or a wire harness containing a washer hose, it must
be routed away from hot, sharp, or moving parts;
and, sharp bends that might pinch the hose must be
avoided.

WASHER PUMP/MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The washer pump/motor unit (Fig. 12) is located on
the rearward facing surface of the washer reservoir,
in the right (except V-10 or diesel engine) or left
(V-10 and diesel engine only) front corner of the
engine compartment. A small permanently lubricated
and sealed electric motor is coupled to the rotor-type
washer pump. A seal flange with a barbed inlet nip-
ple on the pump housing passes through a rubber
grommet seal installed in a dedicated mounting hole
of the washer reservoir. When the pump is installed
in the reservoir a barbed outlet nipple on the pumphousing connects the unit to the washer system
through a short washer reservoir hose.
The washer pump/motor unit is retained on the
reservoir by the interference fit between the barbed
pump inlet nipple and the grommet seal, which is a
light press fit. The top of the washer pump is also
secured to the washer reservoir by the use of a snap
post on the motor housing and a snap post receptacle
molded into the reservoir that allows for mounting of
the washer pump without the use of fasteners. An
integral connector receptacle on the top of the motor
housing connects the unit to the vehicle electrical
system. The washer pump/motor unit cannot be
repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire washer
pump/motor unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The washer pump/motor unit features a small
Direct Current (DC) electric motor. The motor is con-
nected to the vehicle electrical system through a sin-
gle take out and two-cavity connector of the right
(except V-10 or diesel engine) or left (V-10 or diesel
engine only) headlamp and dash wire harness. The
motor is grounded at all times through another take
out of the right (except V-10 or diesel engine) or left
(V-10 or diesel engine only) headlamp and dash wire
harness. On models without the V-10 or diesel engine
a single eyelet terminal connector is secured by a nut
to a ground stud located on the right front fender
inner shield in the engine compartment. On models
with a V-10 or diesel engine an eyelet terminal con-
nector is secured by a ground screw to the left front
fender inner shield in the engine compartment. The
motor receives battery current on a washer pump/
motor control circuit.
The washer pump/motor control circuit is energized
through a high side driver within the Front Control
Module (FCM) whenever the FCM receives an elec-
tronic message requesting washer system operation
from the instrument cluster over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The
instrument cluster monitors a resistor multiplexed
hard wired input from the momentary washer switch
contacts within the multi-function switch on the
steering column to determine when it should issue
the electronic message requesting washer system
operation.
Washer fluid is gravity-fed from the washer reser-
voir to the inlet side of the washer pump. When the
pump motor is energized, the motor spins the rotor
within the washer pump. The spinning pump rotor
pressurizes the washer fluid and forces it through
the pump outlet nipple, the washer plumbing, and
the washer nozzles onto the windshield glass.
The washer pump/motor unit may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

However, conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the instrument
cluster, the Front Control Module (FCM), or the elec-
tronic message inputs to or outputs from the instru-
ment cluster and the FCM that control the operation
of the washer pump/motor unit. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the washer
pump/motor unit, the instrument cluster, the FCM,
or the electronic message inputs and outputs related
to the washer pump/motor unit operation requires
the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appro-
priate diagnostic information.

and grounds.(1) Remove the wiper high/low relay from the IPM.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS/
WIPER HIGH/LOW RELAY - REMOVAL).
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 75 8 ohms. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(4) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, reinstall the relay and use a DRBIIIt
scan tool to perform further testing. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the cover from the Integrated Power
Module (IPM) (Fig. 24).
(3) Remove the wiper high/low relay by grasping it
firmly and pulling it straight out from the receptacle
in the IPM.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the wiper high/low relay to the proper
receptacle in the Integrated Power Module (IPM)
(Fig. 24).
(2) Align the wiper high/low relay terminals with
the terminal cavities in the IPM receptacle.
(3) Push firmly and evenly on the top of the wiper
high/low relay until the terminals are fully seated in
the terminal cavities in the IPM receptacle.
(4) Reinstall the cover onto the IPM.
(5) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
