DEFROSTER SWITCH LIGHT IS BLINKING

TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
Defroster switch (with left/right independent air conditioning function) or FRESH/RECIRC switch (without left/ right independent air conditioning function) indicator blinks when the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON.

NOTE: When the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON immediately after the reconnection of the battery or when the battery power supply voltage is low (battery voltage: 9 V or less), the indicator may blink. Throughout this blinking period, the system recognizes the specified position of the air mix door actuator and mode door actuator. So, this is not a malfunction. (Number of blinking: 12 at 0.5 second intervals)
