WINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM Rear Window Defogger System does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

When the rear window defogger switch on the radio receiver assembly is pressed, the operation signal is transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via CAN communication. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the semiconductor pwr integration ECU to operate the window defogger system.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


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

  • If the battery voltage is low, the window defogger system may not operate. When "Operation of Electrical Items Restricted." is not displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly, check the Data List item "Battery Control Count (Body ECU)".

  • The window defogger system uses the CAN communication. First, confirm that there is nomalfunction in the CAN communication line. Refer to How to Proceed with Troubleshooting.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM


    1. Check the air conditioning system.

      Tech Tips

      Both the window defogger system operation signal and air conditioning system operation signal are transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly through the same communication line.

      OK
      The air conditioning system operates normally.
