COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
If the rear window defogger does not operate when
the rear window defogger switch is turned on, the
rear window defogger relay system may be
defective.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of the rear window defogger relay
•Malfunction of the rear window defogger
•Damaged the wiring harness or connectors
•Malfunction of the manual air conditioner control
panel (A/C-ECU) or the heater control unit
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check the A/C and outside/inside air
selection damper control motor operation.
Q: Do the A/C and outside/inside air selection damper
control motor work normally?
YES :
Go to Step 2.
NO : Refer to Inspection procedure 9
"Malfunction of the A/C-ECU Power Supply
system P.55-53 ."
NO : Refer to Inspection procedure 10
"Malfunction of the A/C-ECU Power Supply
system P.55-56 ."
STEP 2. Connector check: F-22 rear window
defogger connector
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES :
Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair the connector.

STEP 3. Voltage measurement at F-22 rear
window defogger connector.
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the
wiring harness side.(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Turn the rear window defogger switch to the "ON
" position.
(4) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and
body earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES :
Go to Step 14.
NO : Go to Step 4.
