STEP 8. Measure the voltage at defogger relay connector
C-201.
(1) Disconnect defogger relay connector C-201, and measure

the voltage at the junction block side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground.

• The measured value should be approximately 12 volts

(battery positive voltage).

Q: Is the measured voltage approx. 12 volts?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO : Go to Step 9.

STEP 9. Check the wiring harness between defogger relay
connector C-201 (terminal 1) and ignition switch (IG2).
