Windshield Deicer Does Not Operate





WINDOW / GLASS: WINDSHIELD DEICER SYSTEM: Windshield Deicer does not Operate
- Windshield Deicer does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

When the windshield deicer switch*1 or front wiper deicer switch (outer mirror heater switch assembly)*2 is operated, the operation signal is transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via CAN and AVC-LAN communication lines*1, or directly*2. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the No. 1 integration relay to operate the windshield deicer.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
* w/ Navigation System
The windshield deicer system uses the CAN communication and AVC-LAN communication. First, confirm that there is no malfunction in the communication lines. Refer to the How to Proceed with Troubleshooting procedure How To Proceed With Troubleshooting.
* If the battery voltage becomes low, windshield deicer operation is canceled to prioritize supplying power to the power steering system Freeze Frame Data.

PROCEDURE

(a) Turn the power switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Active Test.

(f) Perform the Active Test according to the display on the Techstream.
