Lexus ES: Rear Window Defogger System does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

When the rear window defogger switch on the air conditioning control assembly is pressed, the operation signal is transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via LIN communication. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the DEF relay to operate the window defogger system.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
  • If the auxiliary battery voltage becomes low, auxiliary battery load control will operate in order to ensure sufficient power is supplied to the power steering system. In this case, the window defogger system may not operate.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

(a) Check the air conditioning system.

HINT:

Both the window defogger system operation signal and air conditioning system operation signal are transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via the same communication line.

OK:

The air conditioning system operates normally.

NG

GO TO AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

OK

2.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Active Test.
