Wiper/Turn Signal Switch - Inconsistent Delay/Canceling

SUBJECT:
Windshield Wiper Intermittent Delay Times Inconsistent/Right Turn Signal Intermittently Does Not Cancel
THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 08-11-95 DATED MAR. 17, 1995 WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM
YOUR FILES. ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS, PARTS, AND REPAIR PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN ADDED.
MODELS:
1995 (JA) Cirrus/Stratus
DISCUSSION:
Correct delay times in intermittent wiper mode vary from approximately 18 seconds to 0.5 seconds with vehicle speed above 10 MPH (delay times are
doubled with vehicle speed below 10 MPH).
In order for the intermittent wiper system to operate as designed, the Body Control Module (BCM) must learn the resistive value of the first switch
detent. This calibration procedure is currently being performed at the assembly plant. However, if the BCM or Multifunction Switch are replaced in the
vehicle, the calibration procedure must be performed by the technician.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Windshield wiper intermittent mode delay times are inconsistent, or do not get shorter as the switch is turned toward the low speed position, and/or right
turn signal does not cancel intermittently.
DIAGNOSIS:
^
If the right turn signal intermittently does not cancel, replace the multifunction switch and recalibrate the BCM/multifunction switch.
^
It the wiper delay times are inconsistent, recalibrate the multifunction switch. It this does not correct the condition, replace the multifunction switch
and recalibrate again.

A.
CALIBRATING MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH
1.
Turn the ignition switch on.
2.
With the Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB III), go to Body/Body Computer/Miscellaneous and select "Reset Wiper Switch Minimum."
3.
Follow instruction on DRB III.
NOTE:
THE DRB III MUST BE UPDATED WITH RELEASE 16 OR HIGHER TO PERFORM THIS FUNCTION.
4.
Verity intermittent wiper operation.
