SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG
CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with the optional side curtain
airbags, a Side Impact Airbag Control Module
(SIACM) and its mounting bracket are secured with
four screws to the sill panel at the base of each B-pil-
lar behind the lower B-pillar trim (Fig. 43). Con-
cealed within a hollow in the center of the die cast
aluminum SIACM housing is the electronic circuitry
of the SIACM which includes a microprocessor and
an electronic impact sensor. The SIACM housing is
secured to a stamped steel mounting bracket, which
is unique for the right or left side application of this
component. The SIACM should never be removed
from its mounting bracket. The housing also receives
a case ground through this mounting bracket when it
is secured to the vehicle. A molded plastic electrical
connector receptacle that exits the top of the SIACMhousing connects the unit to the vehicle electrical
system through a dedicated take out and connector of
the body wire harness. Both the SIACM housing and
its electrical connection are sealed to protect the
internal electronic circuitry and components against
moisture intrusion.
The impact sensor internal to the SIACM is cali-
brated for the specific vehicle, and is only serviced as
a unit with the SIACM. The SIACM cannot be
repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or faulty, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Side Impact Airbag Con-
trol Module (SIACM) contains the side curtain airbag
system logic circuits and controls all of the features
of only the side curtain airbag mounted on the same
side of the vehicle as the SIACM. The SIACM uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate
with other electronic modules in the vehicle as well
as with the DRBIIItscan tool using the Programma-
ble Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work. This method of communication is used by the
SIACM to communicate with the Airbag Control
Module (ACM) and for supplemental restraints sys-
tem diagnosis and testing through the 16-way data
link connector located on the driver side lower edge
of the instrument panel. The ACM communicates
with both the left and right SIACM over the PCI
data bus.
The SIACM microprocessor continuously monitors
all of the side curtain airbag electrical circuits to
determine the system readiness. If the SIACM
detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active
and stored Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends
electronic messages to the ACM over the PCI data
bus. The ACM will respond by sending an electronic
message to the EMIC to turn on the airbag indicator,
and by storing a DTC that will indicate whether the
left or the right SIACM has stored the DTC that ini-
tiated the airbag indicator illumination. An active
fault only remains for the current ignition switch
cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC to be stored
in memory by the SIACM. For some DTCs, if a fault
does not recur for a number of ignition cycles, the
SIACM will automatically erase the stored DTC. For
other internal faults, the stored DTC is latched for-
ever.
The SIACM receives battery current on a fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit through a
fuse in the Junction Block (JB). The SIACM has a
case ground through its mounting bracket and also
receives a power ground through a ground circuit
and take out of the body wire harness. This take out
has a single eyelet terminal connector that is secured
by a ground screw to the front seat front crossmem-

SKIS INDICATOR FAILS TO LIGHT DURING BULB TEST
If the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indi-
cator in the instrument cluster fails to illuminate for
about three seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the On position (bulb test), perform the
instrument cluster actuator test. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). If the SKIS indicator still fails to
light during the bulb test, a wiring problem resulting
in the loss of battery current or ground to the Sentry
Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) should be sus-
pected, and the following procedure should be used
for diagnosis. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connec-
tor pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
NOTE: The following tests may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of this system. The most reli-
able, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System requires the use of
a DRBIIITscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diag-
nostic information.(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse (Fuse 33 - 10
ampere) in the Junction Block (JB). If OK, go to Step
2. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component
as required and replace the faulty fuse.

electronic circuitry of the ITM which includes a
microprocessor, and an ultrasonic receive transducer.
A molded plastic connector receptacle containing six
terminal pins that is soldered to a small circuit board
and extends through a clearance hole in the left front
corner of the ITM housing, and an ultrasonic trans-
mit transducer housing extends from the center of
the right side of the ITM housing. Both the transmit
transducer on the right side of the module and the
receive transducer on the ITM circuit board are
aimed through two small round holes in the sight
shield of the trim cover. The ITM is connected to the
vehicle electrical system by a dedicated take out and
connector of the overhead wire harness that is inte-
gral to the headliner.
The ITM unit cannot be adjusted or repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. The ITM is
serviced as a unit with the trim cover.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Intrusion Transceiver
Module (ITM) contains the motion sensor logic cir-
cuits and controls all of the features of the premium
version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA). The ITM
uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communi-
cate with other electronic modules in the vehicle as
well as with the DRBIIItscan tool using the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
network. This method of communication is used by
the ITM to communicate with the Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM) and for diagnosis and testing through the
16-way data link connector located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel. The ITM also
communicates with the alarm siren over a dedicated
serial bus circuit.
The ITM microprocessor continuously monitors
inputs from its on-board motion sensor circuitry as
well as inputs from the BCM and the alarm siren
module. The on-board ITM motion sensor circuitry
transmits ultrasonic signals into the vehicle cabin
through a transmit transducer, then listens to the
returning signals as the bounce off of objects in the
vehicle interior. If an object is moving in the interior,
a detection circuit in the ITM senses this movement
through the modulation of the returning ultrasonic
signals that occurs due to the Doppler effect. The
motion detect function of the ITM can be disabled by
depressing the ªLockº button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter three times within fifteen
seconds, while the security indicator is still flashing
rapidly. The ITM will signal the alarm siren module
to provide a single siren ªchirpº as an audible confir-
mation that the motion sensor function has been dis-
abled.
If movement is detected, the ITM sends an elec-
tronic message to the BCM over the PCI data bus toflash the exterior lighting and sends an electronic
message to the alarm siren module over a dedicated
serial bus line to sound the siren. When the BCM
detects a breach in the perimeter protection through
a door, tailgate, flip-up glass, or hood ajar switch
input, it sends an electronic message to the ITM and
the ITM sends an electronic message to the BCM
over the PCI data bus to flash the exterior lighting
and sends an electronic message to the alarm siren
module over a dedicated serial bus line to sound the
siren. The ITM also monitors inputs from the alarm
siren module for siren battery or siren input/output
circuit tamper alerts, and siren battery condition
alerts, then sets active and stored Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) for any monitored system faults it
detects. An active fault only remains for the current
ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a
DTC to be stored in memory by the ITM. If a fault
does not recur for fifty ignition cycles, the ITM will
automatically erase the stored DTC.
The ITM is connected to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem through a dedicated take out and connector of
the overhead wire harness. The ITM receives battery
current on a fused B(+) circuit through a fuse in the
Junction Block (JB), and receives ground through a
ground circuit and take out of the body wire harness.
This ground take out has a single eyelet terminal
connector that is secured by a ground screw to the
base of the left D-pillar behind the quarter trim
panel. These connections allow the ITM to remain
operational, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the ITM may
be diagnosed and tested using conventional diagnos-
tic tools and procedures. However, conventional diag-
nostic methods will not prove conclusive in the
diagnosis of the ITM, the PCI data bus network, or
the electronic message inputs to and outputs from
the ITM. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the ITM, the PCI data bus net-
work, and the electronic message inputs to and out-
puts from the ITM requires the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.

KJVEHICLE THEFT SECURITY 8Q - 15
INTRUSION TRANSCEIVER MODULE (Continued)

²Intermittent Wipe Mode- The control knob on
the right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function
switch has five minor detent intermittent wipe posi-
tions. When selected, these switch positions will
cause the front wiper system to operate with one of
five delay intervals between complete wipe cycles.
²Mist Wipe Mode- The right (wiper) control
stalk of the multi-function switch has a momentary
Mist position. When selected, this switch position
will operate the front wipers in a low speed continu-
ous cycle for as long as the switch is held closed,
then will complete the current wipe cycle and park
the front wiper blades near the base of the wind-
shield when the switch is released.
²Washer Mode- When the momentary front
wash position of the right (wiper) control stalk of the
multi-function switch is selected with the front wiper
system operating in a continuous wipe mode, washer
fluid will be dispensed onto the windshield glass
through the washer nozzles for as long as the washer
switch is held closed. When the front washer switch
is actuated with the front wiper system operating in
an intermittent wipe mode, washer fluid is still dis-
pensed until the switch is released; however, the
front 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
mode.
²Wipe-After-Wash Mode- When the momentary
front wash position of the right (wiper) control stalk
of the multi-function switch is selected with the front
wiper system turned Off, the internal circuitry of the
BCM provides a wipe-after-wash feature. When
selected, this feature will operate the washer pump/
motor and the front wipers for as long as the front
washer switch is held closed, then provide several
additional wipe cycles after the switch is released
before parking the front wiper blades near the base
of the windshield.
OPERATION
The front wiper and washer system is designed to
provide the vehicle operator with a convenient, safe,
and reliable means of maintaining visibility through
the windshield glass. The various components of this
system are designed to convert electrical energy pro-
duced by the vehicle electrical system into the
mechanical action of the wiper blades to wipe the
outside surface of the glass, as well as into the
hydraulic action of the washer system to apply
washer fluid stored in an on-board reservoir to the
area of the glass to be wiped. When combined, these
components provide the means to effectively main-
tain clear visibility for the vehicle operator by remov-
ing excess accumulations of rain, snow, bugs, mud, orother minor debris from the outside windshield glass
surface that might be encountered while driving the
vehicle under numerous types of inclement operating
conditions.
The vehicle operator initiates all front wiper and
washer system functions with the right (wiper) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch that extends
from the right side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. Rotating the control knob on the
end of the control stalk, selects the Off, Delay, Low,
or High front wiper system operating modes. In the
Delay mode, the control knob also allows the vehicle
operator to select from one of five intermittent wipe
Delay intervals. Pulling the right control stalk down-
wards actuates the momentary front wiper system
Mist mode switch, while pulling the right control
stalk towards the steering wheel actuates the
momentary front washer system switch. The multi-
function switch provides hard wired resistor multi-
plexed inputs to the Body Control Module (BCM) for
all of the front wiper system functions, as well as a
separate hard wired sense input to the BCM for the
front washer system function.
The front wiper and washer system will only oper-
ate when the ignition switch is in the Accessory or
On positions. Battery current is directed from a B(+)
fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) to the
wiper and washer system circuit breaker in the Junc-
tion Block (JB) through a fused ignition switch out-
put (run-acc) circuit. The automatic resetting circuit
breaker then provides battery current through a
fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit to the
wiper high/low relay, the wiper on/off relay, and the
park switch within the front wiper motor. A separate
fuse in the JB provides battery current through
another fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit
to the multi-function switch. The multi-function
switch circuitry uses this battery feed and a ground
circuit input to directly control the operation and
direction of the reversible electric washer pump/mo-
tor unit. The BCM uses low side drivers to control
front wiper system operation by energizing or de-en-
ergizing the wiper high/low and wiper on/off relays.
The hard wired circuits and components of the
front wiper and washer system 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
Body Control Module (BCM), or the inputs to or out-
puts from the BCM that control the front wiper and
washer system operating modes. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the BCM,
or the BCM inputs and outputs related to the various
front wiper and washer system operating modes
requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

WIPER HIGH/LOW RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The wiper high/low relay is located in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine compart-
ment near the battery. The wiper high/low relay is a
conventional International Standards Organization
(ISO) micro relay (Fig. 25). Relays conforming to theISO specifications have common physical dimensions,
current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal
functions. The relay is contained within a small, rect-
angular, molded plastic housing and is connected to
all of the required inputs and outputs by five integral
male spade-type terminals that extend from the bot-
tom of the relay base.
The wiper high/low relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The wiper high/low relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Body
Control Module (BCM) to control a high current out-
put to the front wiper motor. The movable common
feed contact point is held against the fixed normally
closed contact point by spring pressure. When the
relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is
produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic
field draws the movable relay contact point away
from the fixed normally closed contact point, and
holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The wiper high/low relay terminals are connected
to the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
The inputs and outputs of the wiper high/low relay
include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) is connected to the output of the wiper
on/off relay at all times through the wiper on/off
relay output circuit.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the Body
Control Module (BCM) through a front wiper high/
low relay control circuit. The BCM controls front
wiper motor operation by controlling a ground path
through this circuit.
²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) receives battery current at all times from
a circuit breaker in the Junction Block (JB) through
a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) is connected to the high speed brush of
the front wiper motor through a front wiper high/low
relay high speed output circuit, and is connected to
the high speed brush whenever the relay is ener-
gized.

WIPER ON/OFF RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The wiper on/off relay is located in the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC) in the engine compartment
near the battery. The wiper on/off relay is a conven-
tional International Standards Organization (ISO)
micro relay (Fig. 28). Relays conforming to the ISO
specifications have common physical dimensions, cur-
rent capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal func-
tions. The relay is contained within a small,
rectangular, molded plastic housing and is connected
to all of the required inputs and outputs by five inte-
gral male spade-type terminals that extend from the
bottom of the relay base.
The wiper on/off relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The wiper on/off relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Body
Control Module (BCM) to control a high current out-put to the front wiper motor. The movable common
feed contact point is held against the fixed normally
closed contact point by spring pressure. When the
relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is
produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic
field draws the movable relay contact point away
from the fixed normally closed contact point, and
holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The wiper on/off relay terminals are connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
The inputs and outputs of the wiper on/off relay
include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) is connected to the common feed termi-
nal of the wiper high/low relay at all times through
the wiper on/off relay output circuit.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the Body
Control Module (BCM) through a front wiper on/off
relay control circuit. The BCM controls front wiper
motor operation by controlling a ground path through
this circuit.
²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) receives battery current at all times from
a circuit breaker in the Junction Block (JB) through
a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) receives battery current at all times
from a circuit breaker in the Junction Block (JB)
through a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) cir-
cuit, and provides battery current to the front wiper
on/off relay output circuit whenever the relay is ener-
gized.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is connected to the wiper park
switch in the front wiper motor through the front
wiper park switch sense circuit, and is connected to
the wiper park switch whenever the relay is de-ener-
gized.
The wiper on/off relay can be diagnosed using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and methods.

control stalk to a detent position selects the Off,
Delay, or On rear wiper system operating modes.
Rotating the control ring on the control stalk to
either of two Wash positions actuates the momentary
rear washer system switch. The multi-function
switch provides hard wired outputs to the rear wiper
module and the washer pump/motor unit for all rear
wiper and washer system functions.
The rear wiper and washer system will only oper-
ate when the ignition switch is in the Accessory or
On positions, and the rear flip-up glass and tailgate
ajar switches are closed. Battery current is directed
from a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) to the multi-
function switch through a fused ignition switch out-
put (run-acc) circuit. The internal circuitry of the
right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function
switch then provides battery current signals through
a rear wiper on driver circuit and a rear wiper inter-
mittent driver circuit to the rear wiper module and
to the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM uses
these rear wiper system inputs as a signal to lock the
rear flip-up glass and the tailgate to prevent the rear
flip-up glass or tailgate from being opened for as long
as the rear wiper is operating. The multi-function
switch circuitry also uses this battery current and a
ground circuit input to directly control the operation
and direction of the reversible electric washer pump/
motor unit.
A separate fuse in the JB provides battery current
to the electronic control circuitry of the rear wiper
module through a fused B(+) circuit. The rear wiper
module uses this fused B(+) input to park the rear
wiper blade off of the rear flip-up glass if the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position while the rear
wiper is operating, or if the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position before the rear wiper blade has
parked. However, if the ignition switch is turned to
the Off position while the rear wiper is operating,
then turned back On, the rear wiper switch must be
cycled to the Off position and back to the On or
Delay position before the rear wiper will operate
again. In addition, the rear wiper module receives an
input from the rear flip-up glass ajar switch on a
flip-up glass ajar switch sense circuit, which prevents
the rear wiper from operating when the flip-up glass
is not closed or fully latched.
The hard wired circuits and components of the rear
wiper and washer system may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. Following are paragraphs that briefly describe
the operation of each of the rear wiper and washer
system operating modes.
CONTINUOUS WIPE MODE When the On posi-
tion of the control ring on the right (wiper) control
stalk of the multi-function switch is selected, the
multi-function switch circuitry directs a battery cur-rent signal to the rear wiper module through the
rear wiper on driver circuit, causing the rear wiper to
cycle continuously at a fixed speed.
INTERMITTENT WIPE MODE When the Delay
position of the control ring on the right (wiper) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch is selected, the
multi-function switch circuitry directs a battery cur-
rent signal to the rear wiper module through the
rear wiper intermittent driver circuit, causing the
rear wiper to cycle intermittently at a fixed delay
interval.
WASH MODE When the momentary Wash (after
On) position of the control ring on the right (wiper)
control stalk of the multi-function switch is selected,
the multi-function switch circuitry directs both bat-
tery current and ground to the washer pump/motor
unit, and a battery current signal to be provided to
the rear wiper module through the rear wiper on
driver circuit. This will cause the washer pump/mo-
tor unit to be energized and the rear wiper to cycle
continuously at a fixed speed for as long as the rear
Wash switch is held closed.
WIPE-AFTER-WASH MODE When the momentary
Wash (before Off) position of the control ring on the
right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function
switch is selected, the multi-function switch circuitry
directs both battery current and ground to the
washer pump/motor unit, and a battery current sig-
nal to be provided to the rear wiper module through
the rear wiper on driver circuit. This will cause the
washer pump/motor unit to be energized and the rear
wiper to cycle continuously at a fixed speed for as
long as the rear Wash switch is held closed. When
the control ring is released to the Off position, the
washer pump/motor is de-energized, but the circuitry
within the rear wiper module will provide several
additional wipe cycles to complete the wipe-after-
wash mode cycle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR WIPER &

The diagnosis found here addresses an electrically
inoperative rear wiper system. If the rear wiper
motor operates, but the wiper does not move on the
rear flip-up glass, inspect the mechanical connection
between the rear wiper arm and the rear wiper
motor output shaft. If OK, replace the faulty rear
wiper module. If the wiper operates, but chatters,
lifts, or does not clear the glass, clean and inspect
the rear wiper system components as required. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/REAR WIPERS/WASHERS -

THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE
PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE.
THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM. FAILURE TO
TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) Check that the interior lighting switch on the
left (lighting) control stalk of the multi-function
switch is not in the dome lamp disable position. With
all four doors and the tailgate closed, open the rear
flip-up glass. The interior lamps should light. Close
the rear flip-up glass. Note whether the interior
lamps remain lighted. They should turn off after
about thirty seconds. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK,
go to Step 9.
(2) Check the fused B(+) fuse (Fuse 17 - 15
ampere) in the Junction Block (JB). If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component
as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(3) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
(Fuse 17 - 15 ampere) in the JB. If OK, go to Step 4.
If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit between
the JB and the Power Distribution Center (PDC) as
required.
(4) Check the fused ignition switch output (run-
acc) fuse (Fuse 22 - 10 ampere) in the JB. If OK, go
to Step 5. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or
component as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) fuse (Fuse 22 - 10 ampere) in the
JB. If OK, turn the ignition switch to the Off position
and go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open fused
ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit between the
JB and the ignition switch as required.
(6) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the multi-function switch (Connector
C-2) from the switch connector receptacle. Reconnect
the battery negative cable. Turn the ignition switchto the On position. Check for battery voltage at the
fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit cavity of
the instrument panel wire harness connector for the
multi-function switch (Connector C-2). If OK, go to
Step 7. If not OK, repair the open fused ignition
switch output (run-acc) circuit between the multi-
function switch and the JB as required.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Test the multi-function switch. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/MULTI-
FUNCTION SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). If the multi-function switch tests OK,
reconnect the instrument panel wire harness connec-
tors for the multi-function switch to the switch con-
nector receptacles and go to Step 8. If the multi-
function switch does not test OK, replace the faulty
switch.
(8) Remove the tailgate inner trim panel. Discon-
nect the tailgate wire harness connector for the rear
wiper module from the module connector receptacle.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the tailgate wire harness connector for the rear
wiper module and a good ground. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to Step 9. If not OK, repair the
open ground circuit to ground (G312) as required.
(9) Check for continuity between the flip-up glass
ajar switch sense circuit cavity of the tailgate wire
harness connector for the rear wiper module and a
good ground. There should be continuity with the
rear flip-up glass open, and no continuity with the
rear flip-up glass closed. If OK, go to Step 10. If not
OK, repair the open flip-up glass ajar circuit between
the rear wiper module and the flip-up glass ajar
switch as required.
(10) Reconnect the battery negative cable. Check
for battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of
the tailgate wire harness connector for the rear wiper
module. If OK, go to Step 11. If not OK, repair the
open fused B(+) circuit between the rear wiper mod-
ule and the JB as required.
(11) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Turn the control ring on the right (wiper) control
stalk of the multi-function switch to the Delay posi-
tion. Check for battery voltage at the rear wiper
intermittent driver circuit cavity of the tailgate wire
harness connector for the rear wiper module. If OK,
go to Step 12. If not OK, repair the open rear wiper
intermittent driver circuit between the rear wiper
module and the multi-function switch as required.
(12) Turn the control ring on the right (wiper) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch to the On posi-
tion. Check for battery voltage at the rear wiper on
driver circuit cavity of the tailgate wire harness con-
nector for the rear wiper module. If OK, replace the
faulty rear wiper module. If not OK, repair the open

REAR WIPER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The rear wiper motor is concealed within the tail-
gate, below the rear flip-up glass opening and behind
the tailgate inner trim panel. The end of the motor
output shaft that protrudes through the tailgate
outer panel to drive the rear wiper arm and blade is
the only visible component of the rear wiper motor
(Fig. 15). A rubber gasket, a bezel, and a nut secure
and seal the motor output shaft to the tailgate outer
panel. A molded plastic nut cover snaps onto the
bezel to conceal the nut and improve appearance. An
integral connector receptacle connects the rear wipermotor to the vehicle electrical system through a ded-
icated take out and connector of the tailgate wire
harness. The rear wiper motor consists of the follow-
ing major components:
²Bracket- The rear wiper motor bracket consists
of a stamped steel mounting plate for the wiper
motor that is secured with screws through two rub-
ber insulators to the tailgate inner panel.
²Rear Wiper Module- The rear wiper motor
electronic controls are concealed beneath a molded
plastic cover and includes the rear wiper system elec-
tronic logic and rear wiper motor electronic controls.
²Motor- The permanent magnet rear wiper
motor is secured with screws to the rear wiper motor
bracket. The wiper motor includes an integral trans-
mission, and the motor output shaft.
The rear wiper motor cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If any component of the motor is faulty or
damaged, the entire rear wiper motor unit must be
replaced. The motor output shaft gasket, bezel, nut,
and nut cover are available for service replacement.
OPERATION
The rear wiper motor receives non-switched bat-
tery current through a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) on a fused B(+) circuit and is connected to
ground at all times. The rear wiper motor operation
is controlled by the vehicle operator through battery
current signal inputs received by the rear wiper
motor electronic control module from the rear wiper
switch circuitry that is integral to the right (wiper)
control stalk of the multi-function switch on the
steering column. The module also receives an exter-
nal control input from the flip-up glass ajar switch
sense circuit. If the rear wiper module senses that
the flip-up glass is ajar, it will not allow the rear
wiper motor to operate.
The rear wiper module electronic control logic uses
these inputs, its internal inputs, and its program-
ming to provide a continuous wipe mode, an inter-
mittent wipe mode, a wipe-after-wash mode, and off-
the-glass wiper blade parking. The wiper blade
cycling is controlled by the internal electronic con-
trols of the module. The module controls current flow
to the wiper motor brushes and provides an elec-
tronic speed control that speeds the wiper blade near
the center of the glass, but slows the wiper blade
during directional reversals at each end of the wipe
pattern and during wiper blade off-the-glass parking
for quieter operation. The wiper motor transmission
converts the rotary output of the wiper motor to the
back and forth wiping motion of the rear wiper arm
and blade on the rear flip-up glass.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A
SHORT TO GROUND
(1) Remove the fuse and disconnect all items
involved with the fuse.
(2) Connect a test light or a voltmeter across the
terminals of the fuse.
(3) Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring
harness about six to eight inches apart and watch
the voltmeter/test lamp.
(4) If the voltmeter registers voltage or the test
lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that gen-
eral area of the wiring harness.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A
SHORT TO GROUND ON FUSES POWERING
