Read and record all stored DTCs and freeze frame data with a scan tool
Inspect fuses and fusible links for the washer system
Visually inspect wiring, connectors, and grommets from BCM to washer pump/sensor D for damage or corrosion
Check for signs of water intrusion at connectors and the pump
Backprobe the washer pump/sensor connector while activating the washer to verify voltage and ground
Measure resistance of the washer pump and the sensor per service manual

Command voltage from control module: typically 0 V (inactive) and battery voltage (~11–13.5 V) when commanded; may be switched ground instead of switched battery depending on design
Control may be PWM — duty cycle varies from 0–100% (frequency often 10–300 Hz) on some vehicles
Washer pump resistance (typical range): a few ohms to tens of ohms when measured at the pump terminals (varies by model)
Level/sensor outputs often 0–5 V (analog) or open/closed (switch) depending on sensor design
Expected continuity: control ground path < 5 Ω; open circuit indicates high/infinite resistance

Use a scan tool to confirm B0132 and note any additional codes. Attempt to command Washer D ON while monitoring live data.
Visually inspect fuse(s) and replace if blown. If fuse blows again, do not continue until short is located.
Visually inspect connectors and wiring for damage, corrosion, or water entry. Repair any obvious issues.
Backprobe the washer pump/sensor D connector: with command ON verify presence of expected control voltage or switched ground and good ground/battery reference.
Measure resistance at the pump/sensor. If pump is open/shorted, replace the pump. If sensor resistance is out of expected range per service info, replace the sensor.
If control signal is absent at the connector but present at the module output, trace wiring between module and component for open/short and repair as needed.
If wiring checks OK and component tests good, check module outputs using a known-good actuator or bench-power the pump briefly to confirm system operation.
Repair or replace damaged wiring, connectors, or component. After repairs clear codes and perform functional test and road-test if applicable.
If intermittent faults persist, consider harness repair, connector replacement, and inspect for grounding issues or intermittent BCM faults; consult technical service bulletins.
