STEP 16. Check the wiring harness between F-06
rear window defogger connector terminal No.1
and earth.
•Check the rear window defogger earth line for
open circuit.Q: Is the check result normal?
YES :
The trouble can be an intermittent
malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00, How to
Cope with Intermittent Malfunction P.00-5).
NO : Repair the wiring harness.
STEP 17. Check the rear window defogger.
Refer to GROUP 54A, Rear window defogger
P.54A-96.
Q: Does the rear window defogger work normally?
YES :

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 8: Rear Window Defogger Timer Function does not Operate.
COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
Turn ON the rear window defogger switch. If the rear
window defogger does not shut off after roughly 11
minutes then the rear window defogger timer is
malfunctioning.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of the manual air conditioner control
panel (A/C-ECU) or the heater control unit
DIAGNOSIS
Check the performance of the rear window
defogger timer operations.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Turn the rear window defogger switch to the "ON"
position (operate for approx. 11 minutes)
Q: Does the rear window defogger timer function
work normally?
YES :
Intermittent malfunction
