Concorde V6-2.7L VIN V (2001)
WIPER SYSTEM
The wiper system provides the driver with the normal wiper (low and high speeds), intermittent wipe, wipe after wash, headlamp washers and
pulse wipe functions. The driver selects the wiper function via the resistive multiplexed stalk switch mounted on the steering column. The BCM
uses input signal from the wiper stalk switch, wiper motor park switch, and the washer switch to control the wipe system. The Body Control
Module (BCM) then controls the relays and timing functions to provide the driver selected features.
System Features
Speed Sensitive Intermittent Wipe Mode
There are 6 individual delay times with a minimum delay of 1/2 second to a maximum of 18 seconds. When the vehicle speed is under 10 MPH
(6 KMH), the delay time is doubled providing a range of 1 second to 36 seconds.
Pulse Wipe
When the wiper is in the OFF position and the driver presses the wash button for more than 62 milliseconds, but less than 1/2 second, 2 wipe
cycle in low speed mode will be provided.
Park after Ignition OFF
Because the wiper relays are powered from the battery the BCM can run the wipers to park after the ignition is turned OFF.
Wipe after Wash
When the driver presses the wash button for over 1/2 second and then releases it, the wiper will continue to run for 2 additional wipe cycles.
The wiper system utilizes the BCM to control the ON/OFF and hi/low relays for low and hi speed wiper functions, intermittent wiper delay as the
switch position changes, pulse wipe, wipe after wash mode, and wiper motor park functions. The BCM uses the vehicle speed input to double the
usual delay time below 10 MPH (6 KMH).
USING THE DRB
Refer to the DRB user guide for instructions and assistance with reading trouble codes, erasing trouble codes, and other DRB functions.
DRBIII(R) ERROR MESSAGES
Under normal operation, the DRB will display one of only two error messages: user-requested WARM Boot or User-Requested COLD Boot. If
the DRB should display any other error message, record the entire display and call the MDS Hotline, or call for information and assistance at
1-800-8737. This is a sample of such an error message display:

User-Requested COLD boot
Press MORE to switch between this display and the application screen. Press F4 when done noting information.
DRBIII(R) Does Not Power Up (Blank Screen)
If the LED's do not light or no sound is emitted at start up, check for loose cable connections or a bad cable. Check the vehicle battery voltage
(data link connector cavity 16). A minimum of 11 volts is required to adequately power the DRB. Check for proper grounds at DLC cavities 4 and
5.
If all connections are proper between the DRB and the vehicle or other devices, and the vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative DRB may
be the result of a faulty cable or vehicle wiring.
