Body Control module
Front Wiper Park Switch CKT Open
NAME OF CODE
Front Wiper Park Switch Ckt Open
WHEN MONITORED
With the ignition in the run or accessory position and battery voltage above 10 volts and wiper motor turned on.
SET CONDITION
The BCM, while monitoring the dwell switch, cannot determine when the wiper has left or returned to the park position.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The BCM interfaces with the front wiper motor and performs wiper functions based upon the input voltage from the multi-function switch. The
BCM drives the wiper motor throughout the entire wiper cycle. The BCM, while monitoring the dwell switch, can determine when the wiper has
left the park switch and when it returns. When it fails to receive that information, it sets this code.
The wiper will run in low speed only and stop whenever the switch is shut off.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
-
Open wire
-
Wiper motor

Fuel Level Sending Circuit Error
NAME OF CODE
Fuel Level Sending Circuit Error
WHEN MONITORED
With the ignition key on and battery voltage above 10 volts.
SET CONDITION
When the BCM senses an open or short on the fuel level sensor signal circuit.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The BCM interfaces with the fuel level sending unit. This sensor will vary it's resistance based on fuel level. If the input received from the fuel
sensor is out of it's specified range, this code will be set.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
-
Open wire
-
Shorted wire
-
Fuel level sending unit
