    2. Record the Environmental Data.
    3. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    4. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    5. With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER RELAY 
    1. Turn the Rear Window Defogger off.
    2. Turn the ignition off.
    3. Remove the Rear Window Defogger Relay from the Power Distribution Center (PDC) Assembly and substitute it with a known good relay.
    4. Turn the ignition on.
    5. Turn the Rear Window Defogger on.
    6. With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.

      Is the DTC active?

      Yes 

      • Go To  3

      No 

      • Replace the Rear Window Defogger Relay.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
