OK : Go to Next Step 

1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
2. Turn the defogger switch ON.
3. Check the voltage at the center of each defogger wire, as shown in the illustration.

   Standard voltage 

   VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION CHART
   
   

   Voltage	Criteria
   Approx. 5 V	Wire is not broken
   Approx. 10 or 0 V	Wire is broken

   HINT:

   If there is approximately 10 V, the wire may be faulty between the center of the wire and the wire end on the battery side. If there is no voltage, the wire may be faulty between the center of the wire and the wire end on the ground side.

   NOTE: When measuring voltage, wrap a piece of tin foil around the tip of the negative tester probe and press the foil against the wire with your finger, as shown in the illustration.

4. Place the voltmeter's positive (+) lead against the defogger wire on the battery side.
5. Place the voltmeter's negative (-) lead with the foil strip against the wire on the ground side.
6. Slide the positive (+) lead from the battery side to the ground side.
7. The point where the voltage drops from approximately 10 V to 0 V is where the defogger wire is broken.

   HINT:

   If the defogger wire is not broken, the voltmeter should indicate 0 V at the positive (+) end of the defogger wire but gradually increases to approximately 12 V as the meter probe is moved to the other end.

2. Check that the malfunction disappears.

   OK: 

   Malfunction disappears.
