WINDSHIELD DEICER SYSTEM Windshield Deicer does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

When the windshield deicer switch is turned on, a windshield deicer activation request signal is sent via the LIN communication line*1 or CAN communication line and UART communication line*2 to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. Then the air conditioning amplifier assembly operates the windshield deicer. When the on signal from the windshield deicer switch is received, the DEICER relay is operated for 15 minutes. Also, if the off signal from the switch is received within 15 minutes, the DEICER relay operation is stopped.
