DIAGNOSIS/REPAIR PROCEDURES:
Use the DRBIII(R) to check for BCM DTC.
Rear Wiper Inoperative No BCM DTC - Disconnect the rear wiper motor connector and check Circuit Number (W13), color (BR/LG), pin 3, (Fig. 1),
for 12 volts when rear wiper switch is activated and ignition switch in Run position. If 12 volts is measured, perform Repair Procedure One, if no voltage
is present, continue with Diagnosis

pin 3 of the rear wiper connector and pin 32 of the BCM connector (C2), circuit number (W13), color (BR/LG), (Fig. 1). If no continuity, perform
Repair Procedure Two. If continuity is present, perform Repair Procedure Three.
Rear Wiper Motor Inoperative With BCM DTC - Rear Wiper Output Short (Rear Washer Will Also Be Inoperative) - Check circuit number (W13),
