Inspection Procedure

1. Check that the engine starts normally.

   OK: 

   Engine starts normally. 

NG:  GO TO SMART ACCESS SYSTEM WITH PUSH-BUTTON START

OK: Go to next step 

1. Using the intelligent tester ACTIVE TEST, generate a control command and then check that the rear window defogger operates.

A/C amplifier assembly (A/C ECU) 

Result 

B:  Go to step  4

A: Go to next step 

1. Temporarily replace the multi-display with a new or normally functioning one.
2. Check that the malfunction disappears.

   OK: 

   Malfunction disappears. 

NG: REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY 

OK: REPLACE MULTI-DISPLAY 

1. Remove the DEFOG, ALT, LH J/B-AM and RH J/B-B fuses from the engine room No. 1 relay block.
2. Remove the AM2 fuse from the cowl side junction block RH.
3. Remove the LH-IG fuse from the cowl side junction block LH.
4. Measure the resistance of the fuses.

   Standard resistance: 

   Below 1 Ω 

NG: REPLACE FUSE 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Remove the DEFOG relay from the engine room No.1 relay block.
2. Measure the resistance of the relay.

   Standard resistance

NG: REPLACE RELAY 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Remove the DEFOG relay from the engine room No. 1 relay block.
2. Disconnect the A7 ECM connector.
3. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connectors.

NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the U20 and V20 defogger connectors.
2. Disconnect the DEFOG relay from the engine room No.1 relay block.
3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

   Standard resistance

NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
2. Turn the defogger switch ON.
3. Check the voltage at the center of each defogger wire, as shown in the illustration.

   Standard voltage 

   VOLTAGE CHART
   
   

   Voltage	Criteria
   Approx. 5 V	Wire is not broken
   Approx, 10 or 0 V	Wire is broken

   HINT:

   If there is approximately 10 V, the wire may be faulty between the center of the wire and the wire end on the battery side. If there is no voltage, the wire may be faulty between the center of the wire and the wire end on the ground side.

   NOTE: When measuring voltage, wrap a piece of tin foil around the tip of the negative tester probe and press the foil against the wire with your finger, as shown in the illustration.
