3、Foreword. This document is intended to test performance requirements of a Wiper Washer Reservoir under environmental conditions. This document is the GM Worldwide Washer System Testing Standard for Washer Reservoir Debris. Its purpose is to establish a common test methodology for washer systems to e

4、nsure that a high quality world class system is consistently developed and produced. This is a living document and any suggestions or revisions will be reviewed and/or updated annually by the Windshield Wiper Global Subsystem Leadership Team (GSSLT). The washer system is used to store and apply a wa

5、shing agent to the target area on the outside of the windscreen and back lite of vehicles. If used correctly, no washing agent shall escape and no hoses shall become detached from the screen washer. The washer reservoir also referred to for convenience as the reservoir, is the part of the washer sys

6、tem which is used to store the washer fluid. 1.3 Applicability. This procedure is applicable for all car, multipurpose passenger vehicle (MPV), and truck models produced by GM. The following reservoirs are used: Reservoir for windshield washer systems Reservoir for headlamp washer systems Reservoir

7、for windshield and backlight systems Reservoir for backlight systems Reservoir for windshield washer systems and headlamp washer systems The following pumps are used: Devices with one pressure outlet (Mono pump) Devices with two pressure outlets (Dual pump) 2 References Note: Only the latest approve

Requirements from the Subsyste

19、m Technical Specification (SSTS) or respective specification are necessary in order to execute test methods in this procedure. Equipment and test sample detail is included in Section 4 of this standard. 3.6 Personnel/Skills. The test facility shall have sufficient personnel having the necessary educ

20、ation, training, technical knowledge, and experience for performing the required tests. 4 Procedure 4.1 Preparation. This test procedure has been developed to reflect customer usage of markets which have more stable road systems and fewer unpaved and rough roads. Other regional or local requirements

21、 may necessitate additional test options. For further information, consult the regional Engineering Centers i.e., GM North America, GM Europe, GM Brazil, GM Holden, and GM Korea, etc. 4.2 Conditions. All conditions specified shall be targeted toward the specified value with any given tolerance () us

22、ed to compensate for variation. During testing, conditions specified shall not be readjusted within the tolerance unless it is to maintain the particular test condition within the specified tolerance. If such an adjustment is made, it shall be approved by the appropriate GM engineer prior to the sta

23、rt of any testing. Unless otherwise specified, perform the tests in the as received condition without any special pre-conditioning. 4.2.1 Environmental Conditions. Symbol definitions required for test methods contained in this procedure are listed in Table 2. Actual requirement values for the symbol

24、s shall be obtained from the SSTS or the respective specification and recorded on Datasheet A1. If not otherwise specified, tests shall be performed at TROOM. If various temperature ranges for the tests are specified, the procedure shall be constructed, if not otherwise specified, in a way that all

25、tests shall be performed first at TROOM, at high temperature, and finally at low temperature. If not specified, the test parameter for relative humidity shall be set at 50% 5% and voltage set to UNOM.

28、.3 Instructions. 4.3.1 Set up all washer system components (nozzles, hoses, pump, and container) in roughly design position. A setup similar to the one in Appendix A, Figure A1 can be used. Next, mount the washer container to a standard vibration table. The table should use a 50 mm displacement at 1

29、 Hz. The table should move 25 mm from zero in both directions per cycle at a rate of 1 cycle per second. The washer pump should be placed in the lowest design position to ensure worst case for sucking debris into the pump. 4.3.2 Add 10 mL of Play Sand to 3.8 L (1 gal) of clean water and mix thorough
