    With CONSULT-III 

    Check ("REAR DEF SW""IGN ON SW") in DATA MONITOR mode with CONSULT-III.

    When rear window defogger switch is turned to ON 

    REAR DEF SW: ON 

    When ignition switch is turned to ON 

    IGN ON SW: ON 

    Without CONSULT-III 

    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Check voltage between BCM connector and ground.

    OK or NG 

    OK >> Rear window defogger switch check is OK.

    NG >> GO TO 2.

  2. CHECK REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH CIRCUIT HARNESS CONTINUITY 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect BCM and front air control.
    3. Check continuity between BCM connector M18 (A) terminal 9 and front air control connector M33 (B) terminal 3.

      9 - 3: Continuity should exist. 

    4. Check continuity between BCM connector M18 (A) terminal 9 and ground

      9 - Ground: Continuity should not exist. 

    OK or NG 

    OK >> GO TO 3.

    NG >> Repair or replace harness.

  5. CHECK BCM OUTPUT SIGNAL 
    1. Connect BCM.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check voltage between BCM connector M18 terminal 9 and ground.

      9 - Ground: Approx. 5V
