Front Washer Nozzle Heater
On some models, a washer nozzle with a washer nozzle heater is used for the windshield washer.
A Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heater is used for the washer nozzle heater.
The washer nozzle heater activates in accordance with the signal of the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) when the outside temperature reaches 5 °C or lower with the engine switch on (IG). In addition, the washer nozzle heater is turned off when the engine switch is turned off or the outside temperature reaches 6 °C or higher.
