Washer Fluid Is Low Message






TEST CONDITION(S)
1. Ignition 3 voltage is present.

FAILURE CONDITION(S)
1. Low washer fluid level exists for at least 15 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN
1. Display the WASHER FLUID IS LOW message on the IPC.
2. Activate the slow paced chime on the chime module.

DESCRIPTION
The BCM provides system voltage to the low washer fluid circuit, and the washer fluid level switch provides the single path to ground. The BCM supplies and internally monitors the voltage level of the circuit at pin 2A6. When the washer fluid level circuit is open the BCM will detect system voltage, but if the washer fluid level switch provides a path to ground (low washer fluid condition present), the BCM will detect low voltage. If this condition exists for at least 15 seconds, the BCM will send the "WASHER FLUID IS LOW" message to the IPC. The BCM will also activate the slow paced chime on the chime module.

DIAGNOSIS
Condition
Erroneous Message - Short to ground on CKT 99 or shorted sensor.
NO Message - Open in CKT 99, open in sensor, or open in CKT 803.
