DEFOGGER SYSTEM
Description
The component parts of this system and their functions are described in the\
following table.
Parts NameFunction
DefoggerWhen over current flows in the defogger circuit, the Defogger fuse break\
s the circuit
to protect it against damage.
Defogger RelayThis relay is supplied with current from terminal IG1 of ignition switch\
(Ignition switch ON)
and switches large current from the defogger.
A/C Control Panel
Assembly

Defogger SwitchThe defogger switch is built into the A/C Control Panel Assembly. This switch is
supplied with current from the relay and fuse HTR. Grounds current from \
the defogger
relay, turning the defogger relay ON.
Defogger

Rear Window

Outer MirrorThese defoggers generate heat when current is supplied from the defogger\
relay.

(c) Turn the defogger switch ON and check that the testbulb and indicator light turn ON, then turn OFF after
about 15 minutes.
If operation is not as specified, replace the air conditioner
control panel assembly.

INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF
DEFOGGER WIRES
1. INSPECT DEFOGGER WIRES
NOTICE:
w VWhen cleaning the glass, use a soft, dry cloth, and wipe
the glass in the direction of the wire. Take care not to
damage the wires.
w VDo not use detergents or glass cleaners with abrasive
ingredients.
w VWhen measuring voltage, wind a piece of tin foil around
the top of the negative probe and press the foil against
the wire with your finger as shown.
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Turn the defogger switch ON.
(c) Inspect the voltage at the center of each heat wire as
shown.
VoltageCriteria
Approx. 5 VOkay (No break in wire)
Approx. 10 V or 0 VBroken wire
HINT: If there is approximately 10 volts, the wire is broken be-
tween the center of the wire and the positive (+) end. If there
is no voltage, the wire is broken between the center of the
wire and ground.

INSPECTION OF MIRROR DEFOGGER
INSPECT MIRROR DEFOGGER(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
7 and the negative (±) lead to terminal 8.
(b) Check that the mirror becomes warm.
HINT: It will take a short time for the mirror to become warm.
If the mirror does not become warm, replace the mirror as-
sembly.

SLIDING ROOF SYSTEM
Description
Standby Operation

Current flows from the DOME fuse to terminal A1 of the sliding roof control rel\
ay (hereafter called
relay).

When the ignition switch is ON, the current flows from the power window relay to terminal A3 of the
relay.

2. OPEN operation
When the switch on the ºOPENº side of the control switch is pushed, co\
ntinuity is produced between termi-
nal A8 of the relay and body ground. Then the relay operates, the curren\
t flows through terminal A3 of the
relay

terminal 3
terminal B1 of the relay

ng roof.
3. CLOSE operation
When the switch on the ºCLOSEº side of the control switch is pushed, c\
ontinuity is produced between termi-
nal A7 of the relay and body ground. Then the relay operates, the current f\
lows through terminal A3 of the
relay

ing roof.
Momentary Stop
When the sliding roof reaches about 200 mm (7.87 in.) short of the fully closed position, the limit \
switch
is turned from ON to OFF, so there is not continuity between terminal B1 of the relay and body g\
round No.
1. As a result, the sliding roof stops at that position.
4. TILT UP operation
When the switch on the ºUPº side of the control switch is pushed, cont\
inuity is produced between terminal
A6 of the relay and body ground. Then the relay operates, the current flow\
s through terminal A3 of the relay

iding roof.
5. TILT DOWN operation When the switch on the ºDOWNº side of the control switch is pushed, co\
ntinuity is produced between termi-
nal A2 of the relay and body ground. Then the relay operates, the current f\
lows through terminal A3 of the
relay
