When the rear window defogger switch on the air conditioning control assembly 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 DEF relay to operate the window defogger system.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
If the battery voltage becomes low, 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.
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.
