Rear Window Defogger System does not Operate: Procedure
- INSPECT FUSES (DEF, ECU-IG NO. 2, HTR-IG)
Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
- Remove the DEF, ECU-IG NO. 2 and HTR-IG fuses from the main body ECU.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Item Condition Specified Condition DEF fuse Always Below 1 Ω ECU-IG NO. 2 fuse Always Below 1 Ω HTR-IG fuse Always Below 1 Ω - Reinstall the fuses.
NG → REPLACE FUSES
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER WIRE BATTERY POSITIVE)
Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition L1-1 - Body ground Ignition switch ON
Rear defogger switch ON11 to 14 V
NG → See step 4
OK: Go to next step
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER WIRE CONNECTOR - BODY GROUND)
Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
- Disconnect the L2 rear window defogger wire connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition L2-1 - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω - Reconnect the rear window defogger wire connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 9
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER WIRE - MAIN BODY ECU)
Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
- Disconnect the 2F main body ECU connector.
- Disconnect the L1 rear window defogger wire connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition L1-1 - 2F-2 Always Below 1 Ω L1-1 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the main body ECU connector.
- Reconnect the rear window defogger wire connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM POWER SOURCE)
- Disconnect the 2G main body ECU connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 2G-1 - Body ground Ignition switch ON 11 to 14 V - Reconnect the main body ECU connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT MAIN BODY ECU (DEF RELAY)
Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
- Remove the main body ECU.
- Remove the ECU-IG NO. 2 fuse from the main body ECU.
- Measure the resistance of the DEF relay.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 2G-1 - 2F-2 When battery voltage absent 10 kΩ or higher 2G-1 - 2F-2 When battery voltage applied to terminals 2Q-12 and ECU-IG NO. 2 fuse (DEF relay side) Below 1 Ω - Reinstall the fuse.
- Reinstall the main body ECU.
NG → REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEATER CONTROL (REAR DEFOGGER SWITCH) - MAIN BODY ECU)
- Disconnect the C40 heater control connector.
- Disconnect the 2Q main body ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C40-2 (RDEF) - 2Q-12 Always Below 1 Ω C40-3 (IG+) - 2Q-10 Always Below 1 Ω C40-2 (RDEF) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher C40-3 (IG+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the heater control connector.
- Reconnect the main body ECU connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEATER CONTROL - BODY GROUND)
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C40-5 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 10
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- REPAIR OR REPLACE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER WIRE. Refer to REPAIR
- REPLACE HEATER CONTROL. Refer to REMOVAL
