Rear Window Defogger Description and Operation

Rear Window Defogger System Components

The rear window defogger system consist of the following components:

* HVAC control module
* Liftgate module (LGM)
* Rear window defogger grid

Rear Window Defogger Operation

Battery positive voltage is supplied through the LGM 2 fuse to the LGM for the rear window defogger system. When the rear window defogger switch is depressed, the HVAC control module illuminates the rear window defogger indicator, and sends a class 2 message to the LGM to enable the rear window defogger. The LGM enables the rear window defogger by allowing battery positive voltage to the rear window defogger.

When the rear window defogger switch is pressed for the first time, the defogger cycle lasts 10 minutes. Further operation results in 10 minute defogger cycles.
