YES- Replace the blown fuse after repairing the affected circuit.
NO- GO TO 3.
3. CHECK FOR VOLTAGE FROM THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER RELAY
1.Connect a voltmeter between Fuse block (J/B) and ground.
2.While pressing the rear window defogger switch ON and OFF, check for voltage between Fuse block (J/B)
and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 4.
NO- Perform rear window defogger relay diagnosis. Refer to "Diagnosis Procedure" Rear Window Defogger Relay.
4. CHECK REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH INDICATOR CIRCUIT
1.Press rear window defogger switch.
2.Check for voltage between A/C auto amp. connector and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- Replace A/C auto amp. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Removal And Installation.
NO- Repair or replace harness.
5. CHECK A/C AUTO AMP. (REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH) FUNCTION
1.Check ("REAR DEF SW") in BCM - REAR DEFOGGER "DATA MONITOR" mode by using CONSULT.
2.Operate rear window defogger switch and check the status on CONSULT screen.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 8.
NO- GO TO 6.
6. CHECK REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER ON SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Check voltage between BCM connector and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- Replace BCM. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Service and Repair.
NO- GO TO 7.
7. CHECK HARNESS CONTINUITY
1.Push ignition switch to OFF.
2.Disconnect BCM and front air control.
3.Check continuity between BCM connector and A/C auto amp.
4.Check continuity between BCM harness connector and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- Replace A/C auto amp. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Removal And Installation.
NO- Repair or replace harness.
8. CHECK REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER RELAY GROUND CIRCUIT
CONSULT
1.Select BCM (REAR DEFOGGER) ACTIVE TEST.
2.Turn REAR DEFOGGER active test ON and OFF.
3.Check voltage between fuse block (J/B) connector and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 11.
NO- GO TO 9.
9. CHECK REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER RELAY CIRCUIT
Check voltage between fuse block (J/B) connector and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- Replace rear window defogger relay.
NO- GO TO 10.
10. CHECK HARNESS CONTINUITY
1.Push ignition switch to OFF.
2.Disconnect BCM and fuse block (J/B).
3.Check continuity between BCM connector and fuse block (J/B) connector.
4.Check continuity between fuse block (J/B) connector M5 terminal 6P and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- Perform rear window defogger relay component inspection. Refer to "Component Inspection" Rear Window Defogger Relay. If OK, replace BCM. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Service and Repair.
NO- Repair or replace harness.
11. CHECK REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER RELAY
Check rear window defogger relay.
Refer to "Component Inspection" Rear Window Defogger Relay.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 12.
NO- Replace rear window defogger relay.
12. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Check intermittent incident.
Refer to "Intermittent Incident" Intermittent Incident.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES-Check the following.
- Battery power supply circuit.
- Fuse block (J/B).
NO- Repair or replace the malfunctioning parts.
