DESCRIPTION
When the front window deicer switch is operated, the operation signal is transmitted to the the air conditioning amplifier assembly directly. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the HWD1 relay and HWD2 relay to operate the heated windshield defroster system.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
If the battery voltage becomes low, heated windshield defroster system operation is canceled to prioritize supplying power to the power steering system. Click here
The heated windshield defroster system uses the CAN communication system. First, confirm that there are no malfunctions in the communication system by checking the communication function of the CAN communication system. Refer to the How to Proceed with Troubleshooting procedure Click here.
If the ambient temperature is 5°C (41°F) or higher, or if a malfunction of the ambient temperature sensor (thermistor assembly) is detected, the HWD1 relay will be deactivated and the front window deicer switch indicator light will blink.
PROCEDURE
CHECK AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
(a) Check that the air conditioning system can be operated using the remote touch.
Tech Tips
HINT: Both the heated windshield defroster system operation signal and air conditioning system operation signal are transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly through same communication line.
