- Ignition OFF, disconnect the Rear WPR Relay.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal 30 and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 87 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test the control circuit terminal 30 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the REAR WPR Relay
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 86 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the rear window wiper motor.
- Test for less than 10 Ξ© between the rear window wiper motor ground circuit terminal 1 and ground
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect the harness connector at the rear wiper motor.
- Connect a 15 A fused jumper wire between the B+ circuit terminal 87 and the control circuit terminal 30. Verify the rear window wiper motor is activated.
- If the rear window wiper motor does not activate, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the rear window wiper motor.
- Connect a test lamp between the B+ circuit terminal 86 and the control circuit terminal 85.
- Command the Rear WPR Relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the Rear WPR Relay.

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
