DTC Descriptor

DTC B3875 00
- Wiper High Speed Relay Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) monitors the wiper high speed relay control circuit only when wiper high speed mode is active. When the wiper high speed mode is requested, the BCM responds by applying a ground through the wiper high speed relay control circuit to the coil side of the relay, energizing the WPR HI Relay.

Conditions for Running the DTC

This DTC can set only when the output is actively being requested by the BCM.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

This DTC sets if the BCM detects a short to battery voltage on the WIPER 2 relay control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM will not activate the output.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The current DTC will become history when the request for the output is removed or when the condition for setting the fault is corrected.
* The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X5 harness connector at the BCM.
2. Install a 10A fused jumper wire between the WIPER 1 relay control circuit terminal 20 and B+.
3. Ignition ON, verify that the high speed wipers are not on.

^ If the high speed wipers are on, test the WIPER 2 relay control circuit terminal 21 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the underhood fuse block.

4. Install a 10A fused jumper wire between the WIPER 2 relay control circuit terminal 21 and ground. Verify the high speed wipers are on.

^ If the low speed wipers are not on, test the relay control circuit for an open/high resistance or short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal replace the underhood fuse block.

5. If all circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
