Circuit/System Testing

Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the KR5 Rear Defogger Relay. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 85 and ground.
- If 10 Ω or greater
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
  - If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
  - If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
- If less than 10 Ω
Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 86 and the ground circuit terminal 85, Engine Running.
Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Rear Defogger On and Off with a scan tool.
- If the test lamp is always OFF
1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp. disconnect the harness connector at the K33 HVAC Control Module.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
  - If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
  - If infinite resistance
3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
  - If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
  - If less than 2 Ω, replace the K33 HVAC Control Module.
- If the test lamp is always ON
1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the harness connector at the K33 HVAC Control Module, Engine Running.
2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit and ground.
  - If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
  - If less than 1 V, replace the K33 HVAC Control Module.
- If the test lamp turns ON and OFF
Test or replace the KR5 Rear Defogger Relay.
