SEAT TRACK (Continued)

The individual switches internal to the power seat
switch cannot be repaired. If one switch is damaged
or faulty, the entire power seat switch unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The power seat tracks can be adjusted in six differ-
ent ways using the power seat switches. See the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the power seat switch functions and
the seat adjusting procedures.
When a power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor
operates to move the seat track through its drive
unit in the selected direction until the switch is
released, or until the travel limit of the seat track is
reached. When the switch is moved in the opposite
direction, the battery feed and ground path to the
motor are reversed through the switch contacts. This
causes the adjuster motor to run in the opposite
direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the seat track has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.

POWER WINDOWS
DESCRIPTION
The power window system allows each of the door
windows to be raised and lowered electrically by
actuating a switch on the center console. A master
switch on the front of the center console allows the
driver to raise or lower each of the passenger door
windows and to lock out the individual switches on
the rear of the center console from operation. The
power window system receives battery feed through
fuse 13 in the Power Distribution Center (PDC), only
when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCES-
SORY position.
OPERATION
WINDOW SWITCH
The power window switches control the battery
and ground feeds to the power window motors. Both
of the rear door power window switches receive their
battery and ground feeds through the circuitry of the
front window switch. When the power window lock-
out switch is in the Lock position, the battery feed
for the rear door window switches is interrupted.
WINDOW MOTOR
Front door window lift motors use permanent type
magnets. The B+ and ground applied at the motor
terminal pins will cause the motor to rotate in one
direction. Reversing current through the motor ter-
minals will cause the motor to rotate in the opposite
direction.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.

(2) Disconnect power window motor wire connector
from door harness.
(3) Using two jumper wires, connect one to a bat-
tery (+) source and the other to a good ground (-).
(4) Connect the Negative (-) jumper probe to one of
the motor connector terminals.
(5) Momentarily touch the Positive (+) jumper
probe to the other motor connector terminal.
When positive probe is connected the motor should
rotate in one direction to either move window up or
down. If window is all the way up or down the motor
will grunt and the inner door panel will flex when
actuated in that one direction.
(6) Reverse jumper probes at the motor connector
terminals and window should now move in opposite
direction. If window does not move or grunt, replace
the motor.
If window moved completely up or down, reverse
the jumper probes and cycle window to the opposite
position to verify full operation.
If motor grunts and does not move, verify that reg-
ulator is not binding.

The power window master switch has a Auto-Down
feature on both front windows. The switch is
equipped with two detent positions when actuating
the power window OPEN. The first detent position
allows the window to roll down and stop when the
switch is released. The second detent position actu-
ates an integral express roll down relay that rolls the
window down after the switch is released. When the
express down circuit senses stall current (window
has reached end of down travel), the switch will turn
current off to the motor. The AUTO feature can be
cancelled by actuating the switch UP or DOWN while
window is in motion. If the electronic circuit in the
switch fails to detect a stall current, the auto down
circuit will time out within 9 to 14 seconds.

An electrically operated intermittent front wiper
and washer system is standard factory-installed
safety equipment on this model (Fig. 1). The front
wiper and washer system includes the following
major components, which are described in further
detail elsewhere in this service information:
²Body Control Module- The Body Control
Module (BCM) is located on the Junction Block (JB)
under the driver side outboard end of the instrument
panel. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
CONTROL MODULES/BODY CONTROL MODULE
- DESCRIPTION).
²Front Check Valve- The front washer system
check valve is integral to the wye fitting located in
the washer plumbing between the cowl plenum
washer hose and the front washer nozzles, and is
concealed beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille panel
at the base of the windshield.
²Front Washer Nozzle- Two fluidic front
washer nozzles are secured with integral snap fea-
tures to dedicated openings in the cowl plenum cover/
grille panel located near the base of the windshield.
²Front Washer Plumbing- The plumbing for
the front washer system consists of rubber hoses and
molded plastic fittings. The plumbing is routed along
the right side of the engine compartment from the
washer reservoir, and through the dash panel into
the cowl plenum to the front washer nozzle fittings
beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille panel.
²Front Wiper Arm- The two front wiper arms
are secured with nuts to the threaded studs on the
ends of the two wiper pivot shafts, which extend
through the cowl plenum cover/grille panel located
near the base of the windshield.
²Front Wiper Blade- The two front wiper
blades are secured to the two front wiper arms with
an integral latch, and are parked on the glass near
the bottom of the windshield when the front wiper
system is not in operation.
²Front Wiper Module- The front wiper pivot
shafts are the only visible components of the front
wiper module. The remainder of the module is con-
cealed within the cowl plenum area beneath the cowl
plenum cover/grille panel. The front wiper module
includes the wiper module bracket, four rubber-iso-
lated wiper module mounts, the front wiper motor,
the wiper motor crank arm, the two wiper drive
links, and the two front wiper pivots.
²Multi-Function Switch- The multi-function
switch is located on the top of the steering column,
just below the steering wheel. The multi-function
switch includes a left (lighting) control stalk and a
right (wiper) control stalk. The right control stalk is
dedicated to providing all of the driver controls for
both the front and rear wiper systems. (Refer to 8 -ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH - DESCRIPTION).
²Washer Fluid Level Switch- The washer fluid
level switch is located in a dedicated hole near the
center of the rearward facing surface of the washer
reservoir, behind the right front wheel house splash
shield.
²Washer Pump/Motor- The reversible electric
washer pump/motor unit is located in a dedicated
hole on the lower outboard side of the washer reser-
voir, behind the right front wheel house splash
shield. This single reversible washer pump/motor
provides washer fluid to either the front or rear
washer system plumbing, depending upon the direc-
tion of the pump motor rotation.
²Washer Reservoir- The washer reservoir is
concealed behind the right front wheel house splash
shield ahead of the right front wheel. The washer
reservoir filler neck is the only visible portion of the
reservoir, and it is accessed from the right front cor-
ner of the engine compartment.
²Wiper High-Low Relay- The wiper high-low
relay is an International Standards Organization
(ISO) micro relay located in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) in the engine compartment near the
battery.
²Wiper On-Off Relay- The wiper on-off relay is
an International Standards Organization (ISO) micro
relay located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
in the engine compartment near the battery.
Hard wired circuitry connects the front 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 front wiper and
washer system components through the use of a com-
bination of soldered splices, splice block connectors,
and many different types of wire harness terminal
connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, further details on wire harness routing
and retention, as well as pin-out and location views
for the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.
OPERATING MODES The components of the front
wiper and washer system are designed to work in
concert to provide the following operating modes:
²Continuous Wipe Mode- The control knob on
the right (wiper) 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 front wiper motor to operate in a
continuous low or high speed cycle.
KJFRONT WIPERS/WASHERS 8R - 3
FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS (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.
