B1016

B1016-REAR DEFROST SWITCH REQUEST INPUT CIRCUIT LOW

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The switch input changes when the switch is pushed down. A stored DTC B1016 indicates that the EBL mode switch was stuck in a pushed position for more than 10 minutes, but has since returned to its normal state. An active DTC B1016 indicates that the EBL mode switch is stuck in a pushed position. An active DTC B1016 will prevent proper EBL mode switch and status indicator function.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.
