Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the REAR DEFOG relay.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 85 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 86 and ground.
  4. Ignition ON, command the defogger grid ON and OFF by pressing and depressing the rear defogger switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the REAR DEFOG relay.
