DTC B0283

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The liftgate module (LGM) monitors the voltage level on the supply voltage circuit of the rear window defogger. The LGM will test the supply voltage circuit of the rear window defogger every 160 milliseconds. With the rear window defogger inactive, the supply voltage circuit of the rear window defogger will have no voltage present. With the rear window defogger active, the supply voltage circuit of the rear window defogger will be near system voltage.
