WINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM Rear Window Defogger System does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

An operation request signal is sent to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via LIN communication when the integration control and panel assembly (window defogger switch) is operated.

When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it sends an operation request signal via CAN communication to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU).

When the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) receives the signal, it sends an operation request signal via CPXI communication to the No. 3 semiconductor power integration ECU.

After the operation request signal is received by the No. 3 semiconductor power integration ECU it outputs an operation signal and operates the window defogger.

  • With the negative (-) battery terminal connected, disconnect/do not connect the connector of the No. 3 semiconductor power integration ECU.

  • When replacing the No. 3 semiconductor power integration ECU, the system may not operate normally if the same part number is not used.

  • After turning the engine switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.
