Operation Check [11/2023 - ]

  1. CHECK WINDOW DEFOGGER SYSTEM 
    NOTE:

    If the window defogger system is operated when the auxiliary battery voltage is low, due to the electrical load limit control that gives voltage supply priority to the power steering system, the window defogger system may not operate. In this case, check the vehicle control history (RoB) of the power steering system and check that "Battery Voltage Drop: X208F" is not stored before proceeding with troubleshooting.

    Refer to VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (RoB) [11/2023 - ]

    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    2. Check that the rear window defogger wire becomes warm by operating the rear window defogger switch of the air conditioning control assembly.
    3. When the vehicle is stopped, confirm that the window defogger system operation stops after approximately 15 minutes.

      HINT: 

      • If both of the following conditions are met after approximately 15 minutes from when the window defogger system was activated, the window defogger system continues to operate up to approximately 45 minutes. If the following conditions are not met, the window defogger system stops operating immediately.*
