      Result Proceed to
      NG A
      OK B

    Result: 

    PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 

    (Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [06/2016 - 03/2017] )

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. INSPECT RR DEF RELAY 
    1. Remove the RR DEF relay from the engine room relay block.
    2. Inspect the RR DEF relay (Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [06/2016 - ] ).

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE RELAY (RR DEF) 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RR DEF RELAY - BATTERY) 
    1. Remove the RR DEF relay from the engine room relay block assembly.

    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      1 - Body ground Ignition switch ON 11 to 14 V
      3 - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V
      TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

      *1 Engine Room Relay Block
      *2 RR DEF Relay

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RR DEF RELAY - MAIN BODY ECU (NETWORK GATEWAY ECU)) 
    1. Remove the RR DEF relay from the engine room relay block assembly.
    2. Disconnect the A73 main body ECU (network gateway ECU) connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      2 - A73-24 (RDEF) Always Below 1 Ω

      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      2 or A73-24 (RDEF) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ higher

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU (NETWORK GATEWAY ECU) - HEATER CONTROL SUB-ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the D6 main body ECU (network gateway ECU) connector.
    2. Disconnect the D22 heater control sub-assembly connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition

      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D6-5 (RDSW) or D22-2 (RDEF+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  6

  6. INSPECT HEATER CONTROL SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the heater control sub-assembly (Refer to REMOVAL [06/2016 - 03/2017] ).
    2. Inspect the heater control sub-assembly (Refer to INSPECTION [06/2016 - ] ).

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE HEATER CONTROL SUB-ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [06/2016 - 03/2017] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  7

  7. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BACK WINDOW GLASS (REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER) - RR DEF RELAY) 
    1. Disconnect the G10 and H29 rear window defogger connector.
    2. Remove the RR DEF relay from the engine room relay block assembly.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
