When the front wiper deicer switch is operated, an activation request signal is sent to the center cluster module control assembly through the direct line. The center cluster module control assembly sends an operation request signal to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via LIN communication, and when the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the operation request signal, the system turns on the front wiper deicer relay (FR DEICER) and operates the windshield deicer system.
Inspect the fuses and relay for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
Check air conditioning system.
Both the windshield deicer system operation signal and air conditioning system operation signal are transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via the same communication line.
The air conditioning system operates normally.
