Windshield Wiper Operation
Note. The smart junction box (SJB) may also be identified as the generic electronic module (GEM).
The multi-function switch controls the front wiper/washer portion and is wired to the SJB. When the switch is moved to the desired position, one or more of circuits CRW18 (VT/WH), CRW19 (BU/OG), CRW08 (VT/OG) or CRW17 (GN/VT) is grounded through circuit CD116 (BK/VT). This will provide the necessary inputs for the SJB to control the run/park relay and the high/low relay (integral to the SJB) coils. In order to achieve high-speed operation, both relays are energized. The SJB will respond to the multi-function switch inputs only when the ignition lock cylinder is in RUN or ACC.
The SJB includes a speed dependent feature which compensates for the extra moisture that accumulates on the windshield at higher vehicle speeds when the multi-function switch is in any intermittent setting except the INT 1 position. As vehicle speed increases, the speed dependent feature gradually shortens the delay between wipes.
The speed dependent feature is easiest to verify in the INT 2 position. With the vehicle at a standstill and the multi-function switch in the INT 2 position, the wipers should operate once every 10 seconds. As vehicle speed increases, the delay between wipes will gradually shorten. For example, by the time the vehicle reaches 100 km/h (62 mph), the wipers should operate every 5 seconds. Speed dependent operation is similar in INT 3, INT 4 and INT 5 modes.
Normal Operation
When the smart junction box (SJB) receives input from the multi-function switch to activate the wipers, the SJB activates the RUN/PARK relay through circuit RRW24 (GN/VT). When the RUN/PARK relay is activated, voltage is supplied back to the SJB through circuit CRW03 (VT/WH) into the (integral) HIGH/LOW relay. The windshield wiper motor receives power from the HIGH/LOW relay (integral to the SJB) through circuit CRW16 (GY/BN) for low speed and circuit CRW15 (BN/WH) for high speed. The windshield wiper motor is grounded through circuit GD121 (BK/YE). The multi-function switch is grounded through circuit GD116 (BK/VT).

Disconnect: Windshield Wiper Motor C125 Disconnect: SJB C2280a Measure the resistance between SJB C2280a-23, circuit CRW09 (BN/BU), harness side and windshield wiper motor C125-1, circuit CRW09 (BN/BU). Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? YES : If wipers park correctly but DTC B1447 was present, go to F10 . If wipers do not park correctly, INSTALL a new windshield wiper motor. REFER to «Wiper Motor»(ref-291873-S02943738852008073000000) . NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F10 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION Key in OFF position. Disconnect all the SJB connectors. Check for: corrosion. pushed-out pins. Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly. Operate the system and verify the concern is still present. Is the concern still present? YES : INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to «MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES»(ref-291878) article. TEST the system for normal operation. NO : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
The smart junction box (SJB) receives vehicle speed information from the instrument cluster (IC) over the communication network. When any intermittent wiper mode is selected except INT 1, the SJB will gradually increase or decrease the delay between wipes based on vehicle speed.
The speed dependent feature is easiest to verify in the INT 2 position. With the vehicle at a standstill and the multi-function switch in the INT 2 position, the wipers should operate once every 10 seconds. As vehicle speed increases, the delay between wipes will gradually shorten. For example, by the time the vehicle reaches 100 km/h (62 mph), the wipers should operate every 5 seconds. Speed dependent operation is similar in INT 3, INT 4 and INT 5 modes.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following
- IC
- SJB
