When the rear defogger switch in 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.
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 window defogger system uses the CAN communication system and CXPI communication system. First, confirm that there are no malfunctions in the CAN communication system and CXPI communication system. Refer to How to Proceed with Troubleshooting.
