Service bulletin PIT3827D

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that on windshield wiper activation when the ignition key is turned on, even though the wiper switch is turned off, which causes the wipers to cycle one to three times before stopping somewhere on the windshield. Technician may find Diagnostic Trouble Code B3715 or B3718 set in the Body Control Module. Technician will inspect for an open in circuit 196 between the Body Control Module and the wiper motor and ensure there are no loose/damaged terminals at the Body Control Module or wiper motor connectors.
