Rear Glass Defogger Timer

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
INSPECTION
While operating the components, check whether the operations are normal as shown in the timing chart.
1. The defog function can be activated only when engine is running and ignition key is in RUN position.
If the defogger is switched ON, the defogger will stay ON for 20 minutes duration.
While Windshield Defog is on, the windshield defog button is illuminated
If the switch is pushed again while defog is already active, defog stops.
If the engine stops while defog is on, defog stops and it is not automatically turned on when the engine is started
again.
Rear defog works exactly in the same way as windshield defog using the Rear Defog Switch button as input.
2.Rear Defog Pause
When IPM receives tailgate flasher control CAN message transition to tailgate flash value, rear defog is inhibited for
30s.
The 20 min rear defog timer is frozen during this pause.
If the user turns on rear defog function while this pause is going on, rear defog is set to ON only at the end of the
pause.
This pause has no impact on Rear Defog Switch illumination.
When IPM receives tail gate open CAN message transition to OPEN value, this 30 s rear defog pause is also
started, it works the same way as described above.
