Checking with temperature probe

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Porsche 911, 2004 Porsche 911, 2003 Porsche 911, 2002 Porsche 911, and 2001 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

The function of the heating for the rear window can be checked with a temperature probe with digital display.
The indicator light in the rocker switch also lights up if a fault is present and the heating wires in the rear window do not warm up!

Take the measurement with the tip of the sensor at the centre of the rear window on the outside.

NOTE:

The heating wire on the rear window must run exactly under the tip of the sensor for this measurement procedure!
After switching on at room temperature, the temperature must increase by approx. 2 degrees after 2 minutes!
If no temperature increase is shown, the fault must be diagnosed using the wiring diagram!
