When the mirror heater switch (rear window defogger switch) is operated, the RR DEF relay drive request signal is sent to the air conditioning amplifier assembly and then to main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via CAN communication. When the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) receives the RR DEF relay drive request signal, it sends a mirror heater operation signal to the power distribution box assembly.
Based on this signal, the power distribution box assembly operate the mirror heaters.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
If the auxiliary battery voltage becomes low, auxiliary battery load control will operate in order to ensure sufficient power is supplied to the power steering system. In this case, the window defogger system may not operate.
The power mirror control system uses the CAN communication system, LIN communication system and CXPI communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the power mirror control system after confirming that the communication system is functioning properly.
Check vehicle condition.
