      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
      Relay block DEFOG relay terminal 1 - Body ground	Engine switch on (IG)	11 to 14 V
      Relay Block DEFOG relay terminal 5 - Body ground	Always	11 to 14 V

   4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
      Relay block DEFOG relay terminal 2 - A7-35 (RDEF)	Always	Below 1 Ω

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step

1. Disconnect the U20 and V20 defogger connectors.
2. Disconnect the DEFOG relay from the engine room No. 1 relay block.
3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard resistance

   Tester Connection	Specified Condition
   V20-1 - Relay block DEFOG relay terminal 3	Below 1 Ω
   U20-1 - Body ground	Below 1 Ω
   Relay block DEFOG relay terminal 4 - Body ground	Below 1 Ω

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

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	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.

NG → REPAIR REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER WIRE 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Temporarily replace the ECM with a new or normally functioning one.
2. Check that the malfunction disappears.

   OK

   Malfunction disappears.
