INSPECTION
1. INSPECT DEFOGGER TIMER OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the voltmeter to termi-
nal 6 of body ECU No.1 connector and negative (±) lead
to body ground.
(b) When the switch is OFF, the voltage should be approx.
12V.
(c) Turn the defogger switch ON and check that the indicator
lights up and that the voltage is less than 1 V.
(d) After 15 minutes, check that the switch is OFF and the
voltage is approx. 12 V.
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
2. INSPECT DEFOGGER SWITCH (in PANEL SWITCH)

Connector disconnected:
Disconnect the connector from the panel switch and inspect the
connector on wire harness side, as shown in the chart.

7. INSPECT DEFOGGER WIRE
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 in-
gredients.
When measuring voltage, wrap a piece of tin foil around the
tip 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 approximately 10 V, the wire is broken between 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.
(d) Place the voltmeter positive (+) lead against the defogger
wire on the battery side.
(e) Place the voltmeter negative (±) lead with the foil strip
against the wire on the ground side.
(f) Slide the positive (+) lead from battery to ground side.
(g) The point where the voltmeter deflects from several V to
zero V is the place where the defogger wire is broken.
HINT:
If the heat wire is not broken, the voltmeter indicates 0 V at the
positive (+) end of the heat wire but gradually increases to about
12 V as the meter probe moves to the other end.

8. IF NECESSARY, REPAIR DEFOGGER WIRE
(a) Clean the broken wire tips with grease, wax and silicone
remover.
(b) Place the masking tape along both sides of the wire for
repair.
(c) Thoroughly mix the repair agent (Dupont paste No.
4817).
(d) Using a fine tip brush, apply a small amount of the agent
to the wire.
(e) After a few minutes, remove the masking tape.
(f) Do not repair the defogger wire for at least 24 hours.
9. w/ Mirror heater (w/o Driving position memory):
INSPECT MIRROR DEFOGGER OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
7 and the negative (±) lead to terminal 8.
