Toyota Tundra Service Manual: Windshield Deicer does not Operate

Toyota Tundra Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Window / Glass / Windshield Deicer System / Windshield Deicer does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

When the air conditioning control assembly (windshield deicer switch) turns is turned on, a windshield deicer activation request signal is sent via the LIN communication line to the air conditioning amplifier. Then the air conditioning amplifier operates the windshield deicer.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

This circuit uses the LIN communication line. Before performing the inspection, check that the LIN communication system is functioning normally (see page ).

NOTICE:

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

PROCEDURE

1.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (WINDSHIELD DEICER RELAY ASSEMBLY)

(a) Select the Active Test using the Techstream to generate a control command, and then check that the windshield deicer operates (See page ).
