Toyota CH-R Service Manual: Windshield Deicer does not Operate

Toyota CH-R Service Manual / Window / Glass / Windshield Deicer System / Windshield Deicer does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

When the windshield deicer switch on the air conditioning control assembly is pressed, the operation signal is transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. via LIN communication. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the DEICER relay to operate the windshield deicer system.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Inspect the fuses and relay for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
If the battery voltage becomes low, windshield deicer operation is canceled to prioritize supplying power to the power steering system.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

(a) Check air conditioning system.

HINT:

Both the windshield deicer system operation signal and air conditioning system operation signal are transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via the same communication line.

OK:

The air conditioning system operates normally.
