Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 GMC Acadia, 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2016 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The HVAC control module monitors the voltage level on the supply voltage circuit of the RR DEFOG relay. The voltage level should be low while the RR DEFOG relay is de-energized. The voltage will be near system voltage when the HVAC control module energizes the RR DEFOG relay.
