Normal Operation
Under normal operation, when the washer is selected, the multi-function switch provides ground to the smart junction box (SJB) through circuit 950 (WH/BK). When the SJB commands the washer ON, ground is provided to the washer relay coil through circuit 686 (TN/RD). When the washer relay is energized, voltage is sent from the washer relay to the washer motor through circuit 941 (BK/WH).

Possible Causes
- A short to voltage in circuit 941 (BK/WH)
- A short to ground in circuit 686 (TN/RD) or 950 (WH/BK)
- Washer relay
- Multi-function switch
- Smart junction box (SJB)
