Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2024 Repair Manual: Windshield Deicer does not Operate

Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2024 Repair Manual / Vehicle Exterior / Window / Glass / Windshield Deicer System / Windshield Deicer does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

When the front wiper deicer switch assembly is operated, the operation signal is transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly directly. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the semiconductor pwr integration ECU to operate the windshield deicer system.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
  • If the battery voltage is low, the windshield deicer system may not operate. When "Operation of Electrical Items Restricted." is not displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly, check the Data List item "Battery Control Count (Body ECU)".

    Click here

  • The windshield deicer system uses the CAN communication system. First, confirm that there are no malfunctions in the CAN communication system. Refer to How to Proceed with Troubleshooting.
