When the rear defogger switch on the air conditioning control assembly is operated, an operation request signal is sent to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via LIN communication. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives an operation request signal, an operation request signal is sent to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via CAN communication. The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) turns on the RR DEF relay through the IC of the power distribution box assembly and the window defogger operates.
If the window defogger system is operated when the auxiliary battery voltage is low, due to the electrical load limit control that gives voltage supply priority to the power steering system, the window defogger system may not operate. In this case, check the vehicle control history (RoB) of the power steering system and check that "Battery Voltage Drop: X208F" is not stored before proceeding with troubleshooting.
