− Contents of Troubleshooting .

INSPECTION PROCEDURE: The wiper deicer does not work at all.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The wiper deicer should work for approximately 20
minutes when the rear defogger switch is turned on.
If the wiper deicer does not work for the specified
period, the defogger relay circuit (wiper deicer power
supply circuit) may be defective. If the rear window
defogger switch does not work normally, the rear

window defogger relay (wiper deicer relay) may be
defective.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Defective wiper deicer

• Defective wiper deicer relay

• Malfunctions of the wiring harness and connec-

tors

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check the rear window defogger
Check that the rear window defogger works normally
(Refer to GROUP 54A - Printed heater check ).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Diagnose the rear window defogger (Refer
to GROUP 55 - Check chart for trouble
symptoms ).

STEP 2. Check the wiper deicer relay
Check that the wiper deicer relay works normally
(Refer to

P.51-59

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Repair the wiper deicer relay concerned.

STEP 3. Check the wiper deicer
Check that the wiper deicer works normally (Refer to

P.51-59

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Replace the wiper deicer (windshield).
(Refer to GROUP 42A - windshield glass ).

STEP 4. Measure the resistance at wiper deicer
relay connector (DEFR terminal).
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure the

resistance at the relay box.

(2) Measure the resistance between wiper deicer

relay connector (DEFR terminal) and body earth.

OK: Continuity exists (2

Ω or less)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 6.

NO :

Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check of open circuit in DEFR line
between wiper deicer relay connector and body
earth.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP

00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points - How to Cope with
Intermittent Malfunction ).

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 6. Measure the voltage at wiper deicer relay
connector (earth terminal).
(1) Ignition switch: ON.
(2) Rear window defogger switch: ON.
(3) Disconnect the connector, and measure the

voltage at the relay box side.

(4) Measure the voltage between wiper deicer relay

connector (earth terminal) and body earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 8.

NO :

Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Check of short to open circuit in DEFR
line between wiper deicer relay connector and
ETACS-ECU.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP

00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points - How to Cope with
Intermittent Malfunction )

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 8. Measure the resistance at wiper deicer
connector (earth terminal).
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure the

resistance at the relay box.

(2) Measure the resistance between wiper deicer

connector (earth terminal) and body earth.

OK: Continuity exists (2

Ω or less)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 10.

NO :

Go to Step 9.

STEP 9. Check of open circuit in body earth line
between wiper deicer connector and body earth.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP

00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points - How to Cope with
Intermittent Malfunction.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 10. Measure the voltage at wiper deicer
relay connector (power supply terminal).
(1) Ignition switch: ON.
(2) Rear window defogger switch: ON.
(3) Disconnect the connector, and measure the

voltage at the relay box side.

(4) Measure the voltage between wiper deicer relay

connector (power supply terminal) and body
