[NEW] The following fault code may be stored in the FEM (Front Electronics Module): "804290 windshield wiper - reset contact short circuit to positive." CAUSE [NEW] FEM hardware sensitivity PROCEDURE 1. Perform a vehicle diagnosis using ISTA (Integrated Service Technical Application). If the fault listed above is stored in the FEM, proceed to the next step. Note: When the ISTA system message displays: "Battery voltage only "XX.XX" V. Please connect charger," please note the displayed battery voltage reading in the repair order comments section. 2. Check the plug connections at the wiper motor, since it can cause the same situations listed above. 3. [NEW] If the plug connections are good, program the FEM with ISTA/P 2.47.5 or later.
