B3810

DTC B3810

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Battery positive voltage is supplied to the coil and switch sides of the rear washer and headlamp washer relays. The BCM energizes a relay by grounding the relay coil through the relay control circuit. When a relay is energized the relay switch is closed and battery positive voltage is supplied to the washer pump control circuit.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
- B3810 - the headlamp washer relay control circuit is shorted to ground or open while the relay is de-energized, or shorted to B+ while the relay is energized.
- B3811 - the rear washer relay control circuit is shorted to ground or open while the relay is de-energized, or shorted to B+ while the relay is energized.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.
- The headlamp washers will be disabled for as long as the B3810 is current.
- The rear washers will be disabled for as long as the B3811 is current.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
- A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
- A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.

TEST DESCRIPTION
