SERVICE PRECAUTION

WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL

RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS

COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN

ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE

PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS

COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU

ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE

SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER

TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO

FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE

AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR

OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.

CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the

proper location. When you replace a fastener, use

ONLY the exact part number for that application.

HOLDEN will call out those fasteners that require a

replacement after removal. HOLDEN will also call

out the fasteners that require thread lockers or

thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED,

do not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases,

or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners

or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such

coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and

the joint clamping force, and may damage the

fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct

tightening sequence and specifications. Following

these instructions can help you avoid damage to

parts and systems.

WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The circuit consists of the starter switch, windshield

wiper & washer switch, windshield wiper motor,

windshield washer motor and alarm & relay control unit.

When the windshield wiper & washer switch is turned on

with the starter switch on, the battery voltage is applied

to the wiper motor to activate the wiper.

The washer motor squirts glass cleaning fluid while the

washer switch is being pushed. The alarm & relay

control unit relay is used to control motion of the wiper.
