SERVICE MANUAL UPDATE PULSE WIPER MODULE ELIMINATED

Model and Year: 1984/87 CAVALIER

Starting in 1984, the Cavalier wiper motor pulse module was eliminated. The pulse function electronics were moved onto a printed circuit board that is installed on the wiper motor assembly. The on-car diagnosis within the wiper motor service manual sections contain references to a separate pulse module which is incorrect. The charts that are involved are Condition No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. When performing diagnosis on a pulse wiper system, use the diagnosis provided in the Electrical Troubleshooting Manual (1984-1985) or service manual section 8A (1986-1987).

Record this change on the appropriate pages of your service manuals.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
