CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any
customer comments; refer to RF-8, "
Diagnostic Worksheet" . This information is necessary to duplicate the
conditions that exist when the noise occurs.

The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to
obtain all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).

If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer
is concerned about. This can be accomplished by test driving the vehicle with the customer.

After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics
are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when
defining the noise.

Squeak —(Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)
Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions. Hard sur-
faces = higher pitch noise/softer surfaces = lower pitch noises/edge to surface = chirping.

Creak—(Like walking on an old wooden floor)
Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch
dependent on materials/often brought on by activity.

Rattle—(Like shaking a baby rattle)
Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.

Knock —(Like a knock on a door)
Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought on by driver action.

Tick—(Like a clock second hand)
Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.

Thump—(Heavy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often drought on by activity.

Buzz—(Like a bumble bee)
Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.

Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending upon the person. A noise that you may
judge as acceptable may be irritating to the customer.

Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.

REAR WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
REAR WIPER OPERATION
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, and the rear wiper switch is in the ON position, the
BCM detects a rear wiper ON request through the combination switch (wiper switch) reading function.
The BCM will first check the status of the glass hatch ajar switch before supplying power to the rear wiper
motor. If the glass hatch ajar switch is closed (ground) the BCM will not turn on the rear wiper motor. If the
glass hatch ajar switch is open (not grounded) the BCM will control the rear wiper motor as follows.
The BCM controls rear wiper motor operation by switching direction of current flow between the two rear wiper
motor output circuits.
Power is supplied to output circuit 1 for forward operation (counterclockwise sweep),

through BCM terminal 55

to rear wiper motor terminal 4.
Ground is supplied

to rear wiper motor terminal 6

through BCM terminal 54

through BCM terminal 67

through grounds M57, M61 and M79.
With output circuit 1 power and ground supplied, the rear wiper motor operates in a counterclockwise sweep
direction until auto stop switch 1 closes (full sweep position). Auto stop switch 1 supplies ground

to BCM terminal 44

through rear wiper motor terminal 2

through rear wiper motor terminal 5

through grounds B117 and B132.
When the BCM receives this ground signal it turns off output circuit 1 and turns on output circuit 2.
Power is supplied to output circuit 2 for reverse operation (clockwise sweep),

through BCM terminal 54

to rear wiper motor terminal 6.
Ground is supplied

to rear wiper motor terminal 4

through BCM terminal 55

through BCM terminal 67

through grounds M57, M61 and M79.
With output circuit 2 power and ground supplied the rear wiper motor operates in a clockwise sweep direction
until auto stop switch 2 closes (full sweep position). Auto stop switch 2 supplies ground

to BCM terminal 26

through rear wiper motor terminal 1

through rear wiper motor terminal 3

through grounds B117 and B132.
When the BCM receives this ground signal it turns off output circuit 2 and turns on output circuit 1. This pro-
cess repeats until the rear wiper switch or ignition switch is turned off.
If the ignition switch is turned to OFF during operation, the rear wiper motor will immediately stop. If the igni-
tion switch is turned ON after this condition, and the BCM does not receive a rear wiper switch ON or INT sig-
nal, the BCM will operate the rear wiper to the auto stop position.
If the BCM does not receive a change in status in either auto stop switch 1 or auto stop switch 2 within a 5 sec-
ond period of output circuit 1 or output circuit 2 operation, the BCM will turn off output circuit 1 and output cir-
cuit 2.
If the BCM detects the rear door glass ajar signal during rear wiper motor operation, the BCM will operate the
rear wiper motor to the auto stop position. Once the rear door glass ajar signal returns to open (not grounded)
for 5 or more seconds, the BCM will resume rear wiper motor operation.
INTERMITTENT OPERATION
The rear wiper motor operates the wiper arm at low speed approximately every 7 seconds.
When the wiper switch is in the rear wiper INT position, the BCM detects a rear wiper INT request through the
combination switch (wiper switch) reading function.

The BCM controls rear wiper motor operation by switching direction of current flow between the two rear wiper
motor output circuits.
Power is supplied to output circuit 1 for forward operation (counterclockwise sweep),

through BCM terminal 55

to rear wiper motor terminal 4.
Ground is supplied

to rear wiper motor terminal 6

through BCM terminal 54

through BCM terminal 67

through grounds M57, M61 and M79.
With output circuit 1 power and ground supplied, the rear wiper motor operates in a counterclockwise sweep
direction until auto stop switch 1 closes (full sweep position). Auto stop switch 1 supplies ground

to BCM terminal 44

through rear wiper motor terminal 2

through rear wiper motor terminal 5

through grounds B117 and B132.
When the BCM receives this ground signal it turns off output circuit 1 and turns on output circuit 2.
Power is supplied to output circuit 2 for reverse operation (clockwise sweep),

through BCM terminal 54

to rear wiper motor terminal 6.
Ground is supplied

to rear wiper motor terminal 4

through BCM terminal 55

through BCM terminal 67

through grounds M57, M61 and M79.
With output circuit 2 power and ground supplied the rear wiper motor operates in a clockwise sweep direction
until auto stop switch 2 closes (full sweep position). Auto stop switch 2 supplies ground

to BCM terminal 26

through rear wiper motor terminal 1

through rear wiper motor terminal 3

through grounds B117 and B132.
When the BCM receives this ground signal it turns off output circuit 2 and starts the timing function of 7 sec-
onds. After approximately 7 seconds the BCM turns on output circuit 1. This process repeats until the rear
wiper switch or ignition switch is turned off.
AUTO STOP OPERATION
When the rear wiper switch is turned off, the BCM will continue the cycle of output circuit 1 or output circuit 2
until auto stop switch 1 and auto stop switch 2 are both in the closed position. When the BCM receives ground
signals from auto stop switch 1 and auto stop switch 2 simultaneously, output circuit 1 and output circuit 2 are
both turned off.
REAR WASHER OPERATION
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, and the front and rear washer switches are OFF, the
front and rear washer motor is supplied power

through 10A fuse (No. 9, located in the fuse block J/B)

through combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 14

through combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 11

to front and rear washer motor terminal 2, and

through combination switch (wiper switch) terminal 13

to front and rear washer motor terminal 1.
When the rear wiper switch is in rear washer position, the BCM detects a rear washer signal by BCM wiper
switch reading function. Combination switch ground is supplied

to front and rear washer motor terminal 1
