STEP 8. Measure the voltage at defogger relay connector 
C-201. 
(1) Disconnect defogger relay connector C-201, and measure 

the voltage at the junction block side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground.

• The measured value should be approximately 12 volts 

(battery positive voltage).

Q: Is the measured voltage approx. 12 volts?

YES :  Go to Step 10.
NO :   Go to Step 9.

STEP 9. Check the wiring harness between defogger relay 
connector C-201 (terminal 1) and ignition switch (IG2).

.

Q: Is the wiring harness between defogger relay connector 

C-201 (terminal 1) and ignition switch (IG2) in good 
condition?
YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use

.

NO :  Repair the wiring harness. Check that the defogger 

system works normally.

STEP 10. Check A/C-ECU connector C-15 for loose, 
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back 
in the connector.
Q: Is A/C-ECU connector C-15 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 11.
NO :  Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP 

00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Check 

that the defogger system works normally.
