GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Figs. hand 2
The Permanent Magnet (PM) Depressed Park
windshield
(w/s) wiper with remote washer pump sys-
tem consists of a depressed park wiper motor and a
remote washer pump mounted on the washer fluid
container.
Based on the type of control switch used and
whether an optional electronic printed circuit board is
attached in the wiper cover, the system can serve as
either a pulse type wiper-washer system or a standard
type windshield wiper. Pulse timing and "demand"
wash functions are controlled electronically on pulse
windshield wipers.
WIPER AND WSHER OPERAflON
Pulse Windshield Wiper System Fig. 1 Wiper Motor
Electronic logic circuits on a pulse wiper system's
printed circuit board establish all timing and washer
commands. When the WASH switch is pressed, the
washer sprays only during the wiper arm
outwipe and
pulsates operation for 2-1/2 seconds. Then the wiper
dry wipes for nearly
6 seconds before shutting off. See
Pulse Wiper Operation Chart, Fig.
3, for a brief de-
scription of pulse wiper system operation.
If the WASH switch is pressed for more than one
second, a (demand) wash is performed for as long as
the switch is depressed. This wash action is followed by
6 seconds of dry wipes before shut-off. With the control
switch in the
LO or HI speed position, the respective
Fig. 2 Wiper-Washer Control Switch

8E -2 WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEMS F CARLINE
brush circuit (Fig. 12) is completed to the (+) 12 volts
DC source and the wiper motor runs at that particular
speed setting.
Moving the switch to the PULSE mode operates
the wiper motor intermittently and the delay can be
varied by moving the switch back and forth in the Delay
Mode. An instantaneous wipe can be obtained by mov-
ing the switch to the MIST position. If the switch is
pressed continually, a continuous wiping action will be
performed. See Figs. 14,
15, and 16.
DIAGNOSVC PROCEDURES
The following procedures assume that the service
technician has checked:
@ the continuity of circuit harness wiring,
@ that the wiper-motor assembly-to-dash
mounting hardware is tight,
circuit fuses, and
@ that the washer hoses are clear, not kinked,
disconnected or broken.
1. Apply a (+) 12 volt DC (source) voltage to wiper
connector pins as shown in Fig. 13. If the motor
runs in all operating modes
(LO, HI; PARK &
PULSE), perform the voltage and continuity wiper
switch tests as shown on Figs. 14, 15 and 16.
2. If the wiper motor does not run in any one or all
of the operating modes, refer to the Wiper-Washer
Motor Diagnostic Procedures Reference (Fig.
4).
WASHER PUMP
Check washer pump operation before removing
washer pump from the car. Disconnect (cover) wiring
harness connection to wiper cover connector. Then ap-
ply a
(+) 12 volt DC (source) voltage to wiper terminals
as shown on Fig. 17.
1. If washer pump motor does not run or does not
pump water, replace washer pump, See On-Car
Service procedures for "Washer Pump
Replacement.
' '
2. If washer pump motor runs and pumps water, the
problem is in the wiper switch. See Fig. 16 for
switch test procedures.
See Fig. 12 for wiper circuit diagrams.
WIPER MOTOR
Check motor operation before removing wiper as-
sembly from the car. Disconnect wiring harness from
wiper assembly before performing the following checks:
