Windshield Wiper System
2002 Jeep Liberty Limited Edition 2WD V6-3.7L VIN KSECTION Windshield Wiper System
WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM (FRONT)
The BCM controls the Front Windshield Wipers via the On/Off and Hi/Low relays located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC), based on input from the Front Wiper Mode Switch. Note: The BCM does not control the rear wiper system, however, the BCM does monitor the Rear Wiper Mode Switch to control the flip-up glass release. This function is discussed under Power Door Locks.
If the Front Wiper Mode Switch is in any of the Intermittent Delay positions, the BCM will turn ON the ON/OFF relay until the wiper motor is off of the Park Switch. The internal wiring between the motor and the relays, allows the wipers to complete a single cycle and return to the parked position. The BCM monitors the Park Switch to make sure that the Wiper is able to return to the parked position within 8 seconds. If this does not occur, the BCM sets a Wiper Park Switch DTC and turns the wiper ON/OFF relay to on until the wipers are switched off.
If the Front Wiper Mode Switch is in the Low position, the BCM will turn ON the ON/OFF relay. The wiper motor will run at low speed.
If the Front Wiper Mode Switch is in the High position, the BCM will turn ON the ON/OFF relay and the Hi/Low relay. The wiper motor will run at high speed.
If the Front Wiper Mode Switch is turned to the Wash position, the BCM will turn ON the ON/OFF relay until it sees 3 cycles of the park switch. The wiper motor will run at low speed for 3 cycles and then resume whatever the current mode of the switch is.

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
