(8) Erase stored DTC's if there are no active
DTC's. If problems remain, DTC's will not erase.
Refer to the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures Man-
ual to diagnose the problem.If airbag warning
lamp either fails to light, or goes on and stays
on, there is a system malfunction. Refer to the
proper Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual to
diagnose the problem.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
CLEAN UP PROCEDURE
Roll of fold the driver side airbag towards the
steering wheel and tape the airbag module cover over
deployed bag.
Roll or fold the passenger airbag towards the
instrument panel surface and close the door over the
folded bag. Then tape the door shut.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual pow-
der from the vehicle interior. Work from the outside
in to avoid kneeling or sitting in a contaminated
area. Vacuum the heater and A/C outlets as well. If
the heater or air conditioner was in RECIRC mode at
time of airbag deployment, operate blower motor on
low speed and vacuum powder residue expelled from
the heater and A/C outlets. Multiple vacuum cleaning
may to necessary to decontaminate the interior of the
vehicle.
NOTE: Dispose deployed airbag properly, contact
dealer or government agency for disposal recom-
mendations.

panel for damage. If damage is evident, components
should be replaced.
HANDLING AIRBAG MODULES
DEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULE
The vehicle interior may contain a very small
amount of sodium hydroxide powder, a by-product of
airbag deployment. Sodium hydroxide powder can
irritate the skin, eyes, nose and throat. Wear safety
glasses, rubber gloves, and long sleeved clothing
when cleaning any of the powder residue from the
vehicle.
If you find that the cleanup is irritating your skin,
run cool water over the affected area. Also, if you
experience nasal or throat irritation, exit the vehicle
for fresh air until the irritation ceases. If irritation
continues, see a physician.
UNDEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULE
The airbag modules must be stored in its original
special container until used for service. At no time
should a source of electricity be permitted near the
inflator on the back of an airbag module. When car-
rying or handling an undeployed airbag module, the
trim side of the airbag should be pointing away from
the body to minimize possibility of injury if acciden-
tal deployment occurs. Do not place undeployed air-
bag face down on a solid surface, the airbag will
propel into the air if accidentally deployment occurs.
MAINTENANCE INSPECTION
(1) Check the airbag warning lamp for proper
operation as follows:
(a) Turn ignition switch to the ON position, the
airbag warning lamp should light. If not, test the
system using a DRB llltscan tool and the proper
Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
(b) The airbag warning lamp lights, but fails to
go out after eight seconds. Test the system using a
DRB llltscan tool and the proper Body Diagnostic
Procedures Manual.
(c) After correcting active malfunction erase
stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM
For proper operation of the Rear Window Defogger
system refer to the Owner's Manual.
The system consists of a rear glass with two verti-
cal bus bars and a series of electrically connected
grid lines fired on the inside surface (Fig. 1). A con-
trol switch and a timing circuit are combined into a
single assembly.
Circuit protection is provided by a cartridge fuse
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for
the heated grid circuit, and by a fuse in the fuse
block for the control circuit.
When the switch is turned to the ON position, cur-
rent is directed to the rear defogger grid lines. The
heated grid lines heat the rear glass to clear the sur-
face of fog or frost.CAUTION: Grid lines can be damaged or scraped
off with sharp instruments. Care should be taken in
cleaning glass or removing foreign materials,
decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning solvents
or hot water used with rags or toweling is recom-
mended.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
The rear window defogger switch is a control
switch and timing circuit integrated into a single
panel mounted assembly (Fig. 2). Actuating the
switch energizes the circuit which allows current to
flow through the grid lines. Upon initial actuation for
approximately eight to ten minutes, or until either
the switch or ignition is turned off. An indicating
lamp illuminates a Light Emitting Diode (LED)
inlaid in the control switch.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
GRID LINES
The horizontal grid lines and vertical bus bar lines
printed and fired on the inside surface of rear win-
dow glass (Fig. 5) comprise an electrical parallel cir-
cuit. The electrically conductive lines are composed of
a silver-ceramic material which when fired on glass
becomes bonded to the glass and is highly resistant
to abrasion. It is possible however, that a break may
occur in an individual grid line resulting in no cur-
rent flow through the line. To detect breaks in grid
lines the following procedure is required:
(1) Turn ignition ON and turn control switch to
ON. The LED should come on.
(2) Using a DC voltmeter with 0-15 volt range,
contact terminal (B) with the negative lead of the
voltmeter. With the positive lead of the voltmeter,
contact terminal (A) (Fig. 5). The voltmeter should
read 10-14 volts. A lower voltage reading indicates a
poor connection in the feed or the ground circuit.
(3) With the negative lead of the voltmeter, contact
a good body ground point. The voltage reading should
not change.
(4) Connect the negative lead of the voltmeter to
terminal (B) and touch each grid line at Mid-Point
with the positive lead. A reading of:
²Approximately 6 volts indicates the line is OK.
²0 volts indicates a break in line between Mid-
Point (C) and terminal (A).
²10-14 volts indicates a break between Mid-Point
(C) and terminal (B).
Move the lead toward the break and voltage will
change as soon as the break is crossed. Refer to (Fig.
5).
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
The rear window defogger switch may be tested in
the vehicle or out of the vehicle, on the bench.
IN-VEHICLE TESTING
(1) Remove the switch from the instrument panel
but leave the switch connected, refer to Group 8E-In-
strument Panel and Systems, Auxiliary Switch Bezel
Removal and Installation.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) Using a voltmeter, check for battery voltage at
Pin 1 and 2 (Fig. 3).
(a) If OK, go to Step 4.
(b) If NOT OK, check fuse 7 in the fuse block
and the 40 Amp cartridge fuse in the Power Distri-
bution Center (PDC). If fuses are OK, check wiring
circuit. Refer to Group 8W-Wiring Diagrams.
(4) Check Pin 5, with switch in the ON position
there should be battery voltage and no voltage in the
OFF position.(a) If OK, go to Step 5.
(b) If NOT OK, no voltage in the ON position or
voltage in the OFF position. Replace the switch.
(5) Press switch to ON position. The indicator
lamp should come on and remain on for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. If the indicator lamp fails to light
or no voltage is present for approximately 10 min-
utes. Replace Rear Window Defogger Switch. Refer to
Group 8E-Instrument Panel and Systems, Auxiliary
Switch Bezel Removal and Installation.
BENCH TESTING
(1) First remove switch. Refer to Group 8E-Instru-
ment Panel and Systems, Auxiliary Switch Bezel
Removal and Installation.
(2) With switch removed from vehicle, use a
jumper wire and connect a 12 volt supply to Pin 1
and 2. Using a third jumper wire, ground Pin 3.
Refer to (Fig. 4) and the Rear Window Defogger
Switch and Harness Connector Pin Call-Outs table.
(3) Follow the same procedures used for IN-VEHI-
CLE TESTING, except for step Step 2.
