Toyota CH-R Service Manual: Mirror Heater does not Operate with Rear Defogger Switch

Toyota CH-R Service Manual / Mirror (ext) / Power Mirror Control System / Mirror Heater does not Operate with Rear Defogger Switch

DESCRIPTION

When the mirror heater switch (rear window defogger switch) on the air conditioning control assembly is pressed, the operation signal is sent to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via LIN communication. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the defogger relay to operate the mirror heaters.
