Lexus ES: Windshield Deicer does not Operate
DESCRIPTION
When the front wiper deicer switch is operated, the operation signal is transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly directly. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the DEICER relay to operate the windshield deicer 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 windshield deicer system may not operate.
-
The windshield deicer system uses the CAN communication system. First, confirm that there are no malfunctions in the CAN communication system. Refer to How to Proceed with Troubleshooting.

PCU Interlock Circuit Open (P1CE213,P1CE292)
DTC SUMMARY MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION The hybrid vehicle control ECU detects that a safety device (interlock) is operated or that there is an open circuit in the detection circuit. (Even if an open circuit occurs while the vehicle is stopped, the system determines that the safety device was operated.)
