Toyota Camry (XV70): 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 battery voltage is low, the window defogger system may not operate due to operation of battery load control, check the Data List item "Battery Control Count (Body ECU)".
