Rear Window Defogger System Does Not Operate





WINDOW / GLASS: WINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM: Rear Window Defogger System does not Operate
- 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 through the AVC-LAN and LIN*1 or CAN*2 communication line. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the RR DEF relay to operate the rear window defogger.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
* Since the window defogger system uses the AVC-LAN and LIN*1 or CAN*2 communication, first confirm that there is no malfunction in the AVC-LAN and LIN*1 or CAN*2 communication line. Refer to the How to Proceed with Troubleshooting procedure How To Proceed With Troubleshooting.
