HEADLAMP

An electrically operated headlamp washer system is standard factory-installed equipment on this vehicle when it is manufactured for certain export markets. The headlamp washer system includes the following major components, which are described in further detail elsewhere in this service information:

- Headlamp Washer Nozzle - A telescopic headlamp washer nozzle is secured to the front fascia beneath each front lamp unit.
- Headlamp Washer Pump/Motor - The electric headlamp washer pump/motor unit is located in a dedicated hole on the lower, outboard side of the washer reservoir, ahead of the left front wheel house splash shield. This high pressure pump is located above and rearward of the reversible front and rear washer pump/motor unit on the reservoir.
- Headlamp Washer Plumbing - The plumbing for the headlamp washer system consists of large diameter rubber hoses and molded plastic fittings. The plumbing is routed to the washer nozzles on the front fascia from the washer reservoir. The connections at the headlamp washer pump and the two headlamp washer nozzles feature unique quick-connect fittings.
- Headlamp Washer Relay - The headlamp washer relay is an International Standards Organization (ISO) relay that is located within the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the right front corner of the engine compartment.
- Multi-Function Switch - The multi-function switch is integral to the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) along with the clockspring and the Steering Control Module (SCM) on the top of the steering column just below the steering wheel. The multi-function switch is connected to the SCM. Only the switch control stalk extending from the left side of the steering column is visible, while the remainder of the switch is concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The multi-function switch provides all of the driver controls for both the front and rear wiper and washer systems.
- Steering Control Module - The Steering Control Module (SCM) is integral to the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) along with the multi-function switch and the clockspring on the top of the steering column just below the steering wheel. The SCM is completely concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. Steering Column Module - Description.
- Totally Integrated Power Module - The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) is located in the right front corner of the engine compartment. Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) - Description.
- Washer Reservoir - A unique washer reservoir is used on vehicles with the optional headlamp washer system, which has dedicated provisions for the headlamp washer pump and plumbing. This reservoir is mounted in the same location and using the same mounting hardware as is used for vehicles without the headlamp washers. The reservoir is concealed between the left inner fender shield and the left outer fender panel, ahead of the left front wheel house splash shield. The filler neck and cap are the only visible components of the reservoir and, are accessed from the left front corner of the engine compartment.

Hard wired circuitry connects the headlamp washer system components to the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system and to the headlamp washer system components through the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, further details on wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-out and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
