How to diagnose B2107

1. Confirm B2107 and capture freeze-frame data with a professional scan tool.
2. Inspect wiring, connectors, and grounds related to front wiper motor relay circuit short to vbatt for obvious defects.
3. Use a continuity test from module pin to component to identify opens/high resistance.
4. Check for related DTCs to identify the root-cause chain before replacing parts.
5. After repair, clear codes and confirm readiness monitors complete without recurrence.

Severity of code B2107

Moderate: This code is moderate severity: the vehicle may still operate, but fault progression can increase repair cost over time.
