REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
Component Parts and Har ness Connector Location INFOID:0000000004306882
System Description INFOID:0000000004306883
The rear window defogger system is controlled by BCM (body control module) and IPDM E/R (intelligent
power distribution module engine room).
The rear window defogger only operates for approximately 15 minutes. 1. BCM M18, M20 (view with glove box
removed) 2. Front air control M33 3. A. Rear window defogger ground
connector D413 (Hatchback)
B. Rear window defogger connector
D412 (Hatchback)
C. Condenser-1 D4 09, D411 (Hatch-
back)
4. A. Rear window defogger connector B140 (Sedan)
B. Rear window defogger ground
connector B141 (Sedan)
C. Condenser-1 B130, B131 (Se-
dan) 5. IPDM E/R E46, E48 6. Door mirror LH D4, RH D107 (with
heated mirrors)
7. Heated mirror relay M48 (with heat- ed mirrors)

Inspection by part WORK SUPPORT
Supports inspections and adjustments. Commands are transmitted to the BCM for
setting the status suitable for required operation, input/output signals are received
from the BCM and received data is displayed.
DATA MONITOR Displays BCM input/output data in real time. ACTIVE TEST Operation of electrical loads can be checked by sending drive signal to them.
SELF-DIAG RESULTS Displays BCM self-diagnosis results. CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR The results of transmit/receive diagnosis of CAN communication can be read.
ECU PART NUMBER BCM part number can be read. CONFIGURATION Performs BCM configuration read/write functions. Monitor item “Operation” Content
REAR DEF SW “ON/OFF” Indicates (ON/OFF) condition of the rear window defogger switch.
IGN ON SW “ON/OFF” Indicates (ON/OFF) condition of the ignition switch signal. Test item Content
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER Gives a drive signal to the rear window defogger to activate it.
