A: Go to next step
- INSPECT DEFOGGER RELAY (DEFOG)
- Remove the DEFOG relay from the luggage room junction block assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 3 - 4 Battery voltage not applied between terminals Below 1 Ω 3 - 4 Battery voltage applied between terminals 1 and 2 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 5 Battery voltage not applied between terminals 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 5 Battery voltage applied between terminals 1 and 2 Below 1 Ω
NG → REPLACE DEFOGGER RELAY (DEFOG)
OK: Go to next step

(Air Conditioning Amplifier Assembly)
NG → See step 10
OK: Go to next step
- Reconnect the J58 connector to the air conditioning amplifier assembly.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY - DEFOGGER RELAY (DEFOG))
- Remove the DEFOG relay from the luggage room junction block assembly.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Luggage room junction block assembly DEFOG relay terminal 5 - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
(to luggage room junction block assembly)
NG → REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- Remove the DEFOG relay from the luggage room junction block assembly.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO SETTING CONDENSER (INSTALLED INSIDE LUGGAGE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY) - BODY GROUND)
- Remove the defogger fuse and radio setting condenser (installed inside luggage room junction block assembly) from the luggage room junction block assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Luggage room junction block assembly radio setting condenser (installed inside luggage room junction block assembly) terminal 1 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 DEFOG Fuse *2 Front view of wire harness connector
(to luggage room junction block assembly)
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- Remove the defogger fuse and radio setting condenser (installed inside luggage room junction block assembly) from the luggage room junction block assembly.
- REPLACE RADIO SETTING CONDENSER (INSTALLED INSIDE LUGGAGE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY)
- Replace the radio setting condenser (installed inside luggage room junction block assembly).
- Check the rear window defogger operation.
OK
The rear window defogger operates normally.
NG → END (RADIO SETTING CONDENSER (INSTALLED INSIDE LUGGAGE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY) WAS DEFECTIVE)
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (LUGGAGE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY - BACK WINDOW GLASS)
- Remove the defogger relay from the luggage room junction block assembly.
- Disconnect the g1 back window glass battery side connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Luggage room junction block DEFOG relay terminal 3 - g1-1 (B) Always Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Luggage Room Junction Block Assembly *2 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Back Window Glass)*3 DEFOG Relay
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- Remove the defogger relay from the luggage room junction block assembly.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BACK WINDOW GLASS - BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the g2 back window glass body ground side connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition g2-1 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Back Window Glass)
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 13
- Disconnect the g2 back window glass body ground side connector.
- REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY
