Mirror Heater does not Operate with Rear Defogger Switch
Circuit diagnosis
DESCRIPTION
- with Navigation System:
- When the mirror defogger switch, which is built into the multi-media module display assembly, is operated, the operation signals are transmitted to the A/C amplifier assembly through AVC-LAN and BEAN. When the A/C amplifier assembly receives the signals, it turns on the MIR HTR relay to operate the mirror defogger.
- without Navigation System:
- When the mirror defogger switch, which is built into the integration control & panel, is operated, the operation signals are transmitted to the A/C amplifier assembly through AVC-LAN and BEAN. When the A/C amplifier assembly receives the signals, it turns on the MIR HTR relay to operate the mirror defogger.
