REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER

GENERAL INFORMATION

M1543000100319

Rear Defogger operation

The defogger relay turns ON if the defogger switch 
built-in the A/C-ECU is turned ON when the ignition 
switch is in the "ON" position. When the defogger 
relay turns ON, power is supplied to the defogger 
and the defogger is activated. The defogger comes 
with a timer function that causes the defogger switch 
to automatically turn OFF in about 11 minutes after 
the defogger switch is turned ON.

TROUBLESHOOTING

M1543000701552

The rear window defogger is controlled by the 
A/C-ECU. For troubleshooting, refer to GROUP 55- 
Troubleshooting

1. Run engine at 2,000 r/min. Check heater element 

with battery at full.

2. Turn "ON" rear window defogger switch. Measure 

heater element voltage with circuit tester at rear 
window glass centre A. Condition is good if it 
indicates about six volts.

3. If 12 volts is indicated at A, there is a break in the 

negative terminals from A. Move test bar slowly to 
negative terminal to detect where voltage 
changes suddenly (0 volts).

4. If 0 volts is indicated at A, there is a break in the 

positive terminals from A. Defect where the 
voltage changes suddenly (12 volts) in the same 
method described above.
