WINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM Rear Window Defogger System does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

When the rear window defogger switch turns on, a rear defogger activation request signal from the air conditioning amplifier is sent via the CAN line to the multiplex network front light ECU (front controller). Then the multiplex network front light ECU (front controller) operates the rear window defogger.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

Tech Tips

This circuit uses the CAN communication line. Before performing the inspection, check that the CAN communication system is functioning normally.

PROCEDURE


  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (DEFOGGER RELAY [REAR])


    1. Select the Active Test, using the GTS to generate a control command, and then check that the rear window defogger operates Click here.

  4. INSPECT DEFOG RELAY

    A01GN9CE01

    1. Remove the DEFOG relay from the relay block No. 3.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      3 - 4 When battery voltage is not applied between terminals Below 1 Ω
      3 - 5 When battery voltage is not applied between terminals 10 kΩ or higher
      3 - 4 When battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2 10 kΩ or higher
      3 - 5 When battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2 Below 1 Ω

    NG

    REPLACE DEFOG RELAY

    OK

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DEFOG RELAY - MULTIPLEX NETWORK FRONT LIGHT ECU [FRONT CONTROLLER] AND BATTERY)

    A01GI4EE05

    1. Remove the DEFOG relay from the No. 3 relay block.

    2. Disconnect the A51 multiplex network front light ECU (front controller) connector.

    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      DEFOG relay terminal 2 - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
      DEFOG relay terminal 5 - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V

    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      DEFOG relay terminal 1 - A51-12 (RDEF) Always Below 1 Ω

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BACK WINDOW GLASS - DEFOG RELAY AND BODY GROUND)

    A01GNCNE02

    1. Disconnect the S19 and W1 back window glass connectors.

    2. Disconnect the DEFOG relay from the No. 3 relay block.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      S19-1 - DEFOG relay terminal 3 Always Below 1 Ω
      W1-1 - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      DEFOG relay terminal 4 - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      S19-1 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK
