Wipers/Washers (Body Control Module and Windshield Wiper Control Unit) Input Test
NOTE:
If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A.
Before testing, make sure the No. A6 (15 A) and No. A2-5 (30 A) fuses in the under-hood fuse/relay box are OK.
Before testing, make sure the No. B3 (10 A), No. B7 (10 A)*1, No. B8 (15 A)*3/(20 A)*4, and No. B21 (10 A)*2 fuses in the under-dash fuse/relay box is OK.

Body Control Module

1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

2.
Disconnect body control module connectors A, B, C, D, and E.

NOTE: All connector views are shown from the wire side of the female terminals.
3.
Inspect the connectors and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:
If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
If the terminals are OK, go to step 4.

4.
With the connectors still disconnected, do the following input tests:
If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 5.
