  1. B1 CHECK THE FCIM (FRONT CONTROLS INTERFACE MODULE) OPERATION 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Heated Rear Window Element C402A  .
    • Disconnect: FCIM C2402A  .
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C402A-1  VOLTAGE Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    1. Yes  : GO to B2 
    2. No  : GO to  B4
  2. B2 CHECK THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: BJB C1035A  .
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C1035A-23  OHM Ground

    Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    1. Yes  : GO to B3 
    2. No  : REPAIR the circuit.
  3. B3 CHECK THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C1035A-4  VOLTAGE Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    1. Yes  : REPAIR the circuit.
    2. No  : INSTALL a new BJB  .
  4. B4 CHECK FOR CORRECT FCIM (FRONT CONTROLS INTERFACE MODULE) OPERATION 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect and inspect all the FCIM  connectors.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins as necessary
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the FCIM  connectors and all previously disconnected rear window defrost system connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    1. Yes  : CHECK OASIS  for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB  exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB  instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new FCIM  . REFER to: FRONT CONTROLS INTERFACE MODULE (FCIM) .

      REFER to: FRONT CONTROLS INTERFACE MODULE (FCIM) .

      REFER to: FRONT CONTROLS INTERFACE MODULE (FCIM) .

    2. No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
