3. INSPECT DEFOGGER WIRES
NOTICE:
When 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.Do not use detergents or glass cleaners with
abrasive ingredients.When 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. 5VOkay (No break in wire)
Approx.10V or 0VBroken wire
HINT:
If there is 10 V, the wire is broken between the center of the wire
and positive (+) end. If there is no voltage, the wire is broken
between the center of the wire and ground.
(d) Place the voltmeter positive (+) lead against the defogger
positive (+) terminal.
(e) Place the voltmeter negative ( −) lead with the foil strip
against the heat wire at the positive (+) terminal end and
slide it toward the negative ( −) terminal end.

4. Using an ammeter with a current − measuring probe:
INSPECT ONE TOUCH POWER WINDOW SYSTEM
(a) Remove the master switch with connector connected.
(b) Attach a current−measuring probe to terminal 6 of the
wire harness.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, and set the power window switch in the down position.
(d) As the window goes down, check that the current flow is up to approximately 7 A.
(e) Check that the current increases approximately 14.5 A or more when the window stops going down.
HINT:
The circuit breaker opens some 4 − 40 seconds after the win-
dow stops going down, so check must be made before the cir-
cuit breaker operates.
If operation is as specified, replace the master switch.

the motor turns clockwise.
(b) Reverse the polarity, and check that the motor turns coun-
terclockwise.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
