WINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM Rear Window Defogger System does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

• for Manual Air Conditioning System:

• 
  

  • When the rear window defogger switch, which is built into the heater control, is operated, operation signals are transmitted to the DEF relay coil . When the DEF relay coil receives the signals, the DEF relay switch turns on to operate the rear window defogger.

• for Automatic Air Conditioning System:

• 
  

  • When the rear window defogger switch is turned on, a rear window defogger activation request signal is sent via the LIN communication line to the air conditioning amplifier. Then the air conditioning amplifier operates the rear window defogger. When the on signal from the switch is received, the DEF relay is operated for 15 minutes. Also, if the off signal from the switch is received within 15 minutes, the DEF relay operation is stopped.
