PINPOINT TEST A : The Windshield Wipers Are Inoperative

A1 CHECK FOR SCCM DTC B1131:02 OR B1131:08
- Ignition ON.
- Using a scan tool, perform SCCM self-test.
Is DTC B1131:02 or B1131:08 present?

Yes GO to A3.

No GO to A2.

A2 CHECK THE FRONT WIPER COMMAND LOW SPEED (F_WIP_SLO_SW) PID

Ignition ON.

Using a scan tool, view SCCM PID.

While monitoring the SCCM PID F_WIP_SLO_SW, place the wiper/washer switch into the windshield wiper LOW position.

Does the PID read ON when the wiper/washer switch is in the LOW position?

Yes

GO to A3.

For vehicles without the police package, INSTALL a new wiper/washer switch. REFER to Wiper and Washer Switch . If the concern is still present, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE (SCCM) . For vehicles with the police package, INSTALL a new multifunction switch. REFER to STEERING COLUMN MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH . If the concern is still present, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE (SCCM) .

A3 CHECK THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect: Windshield Wiper Motor.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead

Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?

Yes	GO to A4.
No	REPAIR the circuit.

A4 CHECK THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR VOLTAGE CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

Ignition ON.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
C125-8	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground

Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?

Yes	GO to A9.
No	GO to A5.

A5 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE FRONT WIPER RELAY

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect: Front Wiper Relay.

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead

Measure:

Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?

Yes	GO to A6.
No	VERIFY BJB fuse 4 (30A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.

A6 CHECK FOR IGNITION VOLTAGE TO THE FRONT WIPER RELAY

Ignition ON.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
Front Wiper Relay, Pin 2	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground

Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?

Yes	GO to A7.
No	REPAIR the circuit.

A7 CHECK THE FRONT WIPER RELAY GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

Ignition OFF.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
Front Wiper Relay, Pin 1	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground

Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?

Yes	GO to A8.
No	REPAIR the circuit.

A8 CHECK THE FRONT WIPER RELAY

Carry out the Relay-Micro ISO component test. Refer to OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS COMPONENT TESTING for component testing.

Did the wiper relay pass the component test?

Yes	REPAIR circuit CRW03 (VT/WH) for an open.
No	INSTALL a new front wiper relay.

A9 CHECK FOR CORRECT WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Inspect the windshield wiper motor connector.

Repair:
- corrosion (replace connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - replace terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - replace pins as necessary

Reconnect the windshield wiper motor connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.

Connect: Front Wiper Relay (if previously disconnected).

Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes	CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new windshield wiper motor. REFER to Wiper Motor - Windshield .
No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
