Symptoms
- Wiper not working or erratic operation
- Washer pump not activating
- Possible warning indicator
- Intermittent wiper failure
Common Causes
- Faulty component — internal damage or wear affecting Front Wiper Motor Relay
- Wiring issues — broken, corroded, or chafed wires in the circuit
- Connector problems — loose, oxidized, or moisture-damaged pins
- a short to battery voltage is detected — connects the signal line directly to 12V, causing constant high voltage
- Module input failure — rare, but the control module input stage may be defective
Step-by-Step Diagnosis
- Scan with OBD2 tool — Confirm B2107 is active. Check for additional DTCs.
- Visual inspection — Examine the Front Wiper Motor Relay wiring and connector for corrosion or damage.
- Check voltage and ground — Use a multimeter to verify proper reference voltage.
- Test component — Compare readings to factory specs. A stuck or erratic signal confirms failure.
- Check for shorts/opens — Perform continuity tests on the wiring between the component and control module.
Repair & Solutions
- If the component is defective, replace the Front Wiper Motor Relay with an OEM or quality aftermarket part.
- Repair any damaged wiring or connectors using proper methods.
- Clear the DTC with an OBD2 scanner and test drive to verify the code does not return.
