|
Fail-safe function
|
Not applicable
|
Possible cause
|
• Rear window defroster relay malfunction
• Front body control module (FBCM) connector or terminal malfunction
• Short to ground in wiring harness between rear window defroster relay terminal E and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1P
• Open circuit in wiring harness between rear window defroster relay terminal E and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1P
• Front body control module (FBCM) malfunction
|
Diagnostic Procedure
Step |
Inspection |
Action |
|
---|---|---|---|
1
|
VERIFY FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM) DTCs AGAIN
• Clear the DTC for the front body control module (FBCM) using the M-MDS.
• Retrieve the front body control module (FBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS.
• Is the same DTC displayed?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Go to Step 7.
|

2
|
INSPECT REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER RELAY
• Switch the ignition off.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable.
• Remove the rear window defroster relay.
(See RELAY LOCATION.)
• Inspect the rear window defroster relay.
(See RELAY INSPECTION.)
• Is the rear window defroster relay normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Replace the rear window defroster relay, then go to Step 6.
(See RELAY LOCATION.)
|

3
|
INSPECT FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM) CONNECTOR CONDITION
• Disconnect the front body control module (FBCM) connector.
• Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
• Is the connector normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 6.

|
INSPECT FOR SHORT TO GROUND IN REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT
• Verify that the rear window defroster relay is removed.
• Verify that the front body control module (FBCM) connector is disconnected.
• Inspect for continuity between front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1P (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
• Is there continuity?
|
Yes
|
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between rear window defroster relay terminal E and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1P.
If there is a common connector:
• Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
• Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.
Go to Step 6.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.

5
|
INSPECT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT IN REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT
• Verify that the rear window defroster relay is removed.
• Verify that the front body control module (FBCM) connector is disconnected.
• Inspect for continuity between rear window defroster relay terminal E (wiring harness-side) and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1P (wiring harness-side).
• Is there continuity?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between rear window defroster relay terminal E and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1P.
If there is a common connector:
• Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
• Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
• Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.
Go to the next step.

|
VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
• Always reconnect all disconnected connectors.
• Reconnect the negative battery cable.
• Clear the DTC for the front body control module (FBCM) using the M-MDS.
• Retrieve the front body control module (FBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS.
• Is the same DTC displayed?
|
Yes
|
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
• If the malfunction recurs, replace the front body control module (FBCM).
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.

|
VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED
• Are any other DTCs displayed?
|
Yes
|
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
|
No
|
DTC troubleshooting completed.
