STEP 13. Check the wiring harness between
C-206 defogger relay connector terminal No.4
and F-04 defogger connector terminal No.1.

NOTE: Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check
junction block connector C-209, and repair if
necessary.

•

Check the defogger relay output line for open
circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Replace the manual air conditioner control

panel (A/C-ECU).

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 14. Measure the resistance at defogger
connector F-01.

(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

wiring harness side.

(2) Measure the resistance value between terminal 1

and earth.

OK: 2 ohm or less

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 17.

NO :

Go to Step 15.

STEP 15. Connector check: F-01 defogger
connector

STEP 16. Check the wiring harness between F-01
defogger connector terminal No.1 and earth.

•

Check the defogger earth line for open circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Check that the defogger system works

normally.

NO :

Replace the manual air conditioner control

panel (A/C-ECU).

NO :

Repair the defogger.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 8: Defogger Timer Function does not Operate.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
Turn ON the defogger switch. If the defogger does
not shut off after roughly 11 minutes then the
defogger timer is malfunctioning.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

•

Malfunction of the manual air conditioner control
panel (A/C-ECU)

Check the performance of the defogger timer
operations.
