## What is wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  PASSENGER VEHICLES.    SOME OF THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 104, "WINDSHIELD WIPING AND WASHING SYSTEMS." THESE VEHICLES HAVE A WIPER SYSTEM MICROPROCESSOR THAT IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO VOLTAGE TRANSIENTS, WHICH CAN CAUSE A "LATCH\-UP" CONDITION IN THE SYSTEM CONTROLLER.


## What can happen

IF MICROPROCESSOR "LATCH\-UP" OCCURS, THE CUSTOMER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPERATE THE SYSTEM IN BOTH THE LOWER AND HIGH\-SPEED MODES REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR COVER WHICH CONTAINS THE MICROPROCESSOR.
