Lexus ES: Mirror Heater does not Operate with Rear Defogger Switch
DESCRIPTION
When the mirror heater switch (rear window defogger switch) is operated, the mirror heater signal is sent to the air conditioning amplifier assembly and then to each outer mirror control ECU assembly via CAN communication. Based on this signal, the outer mirror control ECU assemblies operate the mirror heaters.
