NOTE:
D When cleaning rear window glass, use a dry cloth to wipe
it along wire direction.
D When cleaning glass, do not use detergent or abrasive con-
taining glass cleaner.
D When measuring wire voltage, use a tester with negative
1. Heat wire
probe wrapped with a tin foil which should be held down on
2. Tin foil
3. Tester probe wire by finger pressure.
1) Checking wire damage
a) Turn main switch ON.
b) Turn defogger switch ON.
c) Use a voltmeter to check voltage at the center of each heat
wire, as shown.
Approximately 5V
Approximately 10V or 0V
If measured voltage is 10V, wire must be damaged between
its center and positive end. If voltage is 0, wire must be dam-
aged between its center and ground.
2) Locating damage in wire
a) Touch voltmeter positive (+) lead to heat wire positive termi-
nal end.
b) Touch voltmeter negative (–) lead with a foil strip to heat wire
positive terminal end, then move it along wire to the negative
terminal end.
c) The place where voltmeter fluctuates from 0 to several volts
is where there is damage.
NOTE:
If heat wire is free from damage, voltmeter should indicate
12V at heat wire positive terminal end and its indication
should decrease gradually toward zero at the other termi-
nal (ground).
