Rear Window Defogger System Does Not Operate





WINDOW / GLASS: WINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM: Rear Window Defogger System does not Operate
- Rear Window Defogger System does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

When the rear window defogger switch on the air conditioning control assembly is pressed, the operation signal is transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly through a LIN communication line. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the No. 1 integration relay to operate the rear window defogger.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
* If the auxiliary battery voltage becomes low, rear window defogger operation is canceled to prioritize supplying power to the power steering system.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM

(a) Activate the rear defogger system and check the symptoms.

Result:





B -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NO.1 INTEGRATION RELAY - REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER WIRE (BACK DOOR GLASS))

C -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NO.1 INTEGRATION RELAY - REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER WIRE (BACK WINDOW FIX GLASS))
A -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

(a) Check the air conditioning system.

HINT
Both the window defogger system operation signal and air conditioning system operation signal are transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly through the same communication line.

OK:

The air conditioning system operates normally.
