B370A SATURN Description

  B+ voltage is supplied to the windshield outside moisture sensor. Whenever the ignition is ON, or in accessory positions, the Body Control Module (BCM), sends the wiper/washer switch status by using a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal. When a wipe cycle is needed, the windshield outside moisture sensor sends a PWM voltage signal to the BCM, initiating the wiper operation. The BCM commands the windshield wiper motor wipe cycles. If a fault occurs at any time between the windshield outside moisture sensor and BCM, the BCM will use the inputs from the turn signal/multifunction switch in the delay positions to operate the windshield wiper motor at continuous variable delay intervals. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets when the BCM receives an invalid signal from the Windshield Outside Moisture Sensor.
