REPLACE MULTI-MEDIA MODULE RECEIVER ASSEMBLY
(Refer to REMOVAL [09/2015 - ] )
- INSPECT DEFOG RELAY
- Remove the DEFOG relay from the relay block No. 3.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 3 - 4 When battery voltage is not applied between terminals Below 1 Ω 3 - 5 When battery voltage is not applied between terminals 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 4 When battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 5 When battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2 Below 1 Ω
Result: NG
NG
REPLACE DEFOG RELAY
Result: OK
OK
See step 5
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DEFOG RELAY - MULTIPLEX NETWORK FRONT LIGHT ECU [FRONT CONTROLLER] AND BATTERY)
- Remove the DEFOG relay from the No. 3 relay block.
- Disconnect the A51 multiplex network front light ECU (front controller) connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition DEFOG relay terminal 2 - Body ground Power switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V DEFOG relay terminal 5 - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition DEFOG relay terminal 1 - A51-12 (RDEF) Always Below 1 Ω DEFOG relay terminal 1 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
Result: NG
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result: OK
OK
See step 6
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BACK WINDOW GLASS - DEFOG RELAY AND BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the S19 and W1 back window glass connectors.
- Disconnect the DEFOG relay from the No. 3 relay block.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition S19-1 - DEFOG relay terminal 3 Always Below 1 Ω W1-1 - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω DEFOG relay terminal 4 - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω S19-1 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
Result: NG
