System Description: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Nissan Pathfinder. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Operation Description
- When rear window defogger switch is turned ON while ignition switch is ON, the A/C and AV switch assembly (with auto A/C) or front air control (without auto A/C) transmits rear window defogger switch signal to BCM.
- BCM transmits rear window defogger control signal to IPDM E/R and display unit (with auto A/C only) via CAN communication when rear window defogger operates.
- IPDM E/R turns rear window defogger relay and heated mirror relay (if equipped) ON when rear window defogger switch signal is received.
- Rear window defogger and door mirror defogger (if equipped) are supplied with power and operate when rear window defogger relay and heated mirror relay (if equipped) turn ON.
- Rear window defogger ON is displayed when signal is received.
Timer function
- BCM turns rear window defogger relay and heated mirror relay (if equipped) ON for approximately 15 minutes When rear window defogger switch is turned ON while ignition switch is ON. It makes rear window defogger and door mirror defogger (if equipped) operate.
- Timer is canceled after pressing rear window defogger switch again during timer operation. Then BCM turns rear window defogger relay and heated mirror relay (if equipped) OFF. The same reaction also occurs during timer operation, if the ignition switch is turned OFF.
