When the window defogger switch on the center cluster module control assembly (window defogger switch) is pressed, the operation signal is transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via LIN communication. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the defogger relay (DEF) to operate the window defogger system.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
Check the air conditioning system.
Both the window defogger 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.
