Low Speed Operation
CIRCUIT OPERATIONWhen the LOW speed switch is activated a multiplexed signal is sent to the Body Control Module (BCM) on circuit V52. The BCM then turns tile wipers ON low speed by providing a ground path for circuit V14. This causes the intermittent wipe relay to switch from its normally grounded position and connect circuit A5 to circuit V5. The A5 circuit is protected by a 30 Amp fuse located in cavity E of the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
The V5 circuit is connected to the HI/LOW Wiper relay low speed side. Voltage is passed through the relay to circuit V3, then to the LOW speed side of the wiper motor. Ground for the wiper motor is provided on circuit Z1, and terminates at the left front frame rail.
As the windshield wiper motor turns, the park switch internal to the motor moves from its grounded position to the open RUN position. The BCM uses input from the park switch, on circuit V55, for wiper position and system operation.
