The rear window defrost relay, located in the Battery Junction Box (BJB), receives power from circuit CBP45 (YE). When the rear window defrost switch (integral to the HVAC module) is pressed, the HVAC module grounds circuit CH122 (WH/OG) to activate the rear window defrost relay. When the rear window defrost relay is activated, power is sent from the rear window defrost relay to the rear window defrost grid through circuit CRD06 (BN/YE). The rear window defrost grid is grounded through circuit GD149 (BK/GY).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Rear window defrost relay
- HVAC module
