Wire Damage Inspection
- Turn Ignition switch ON position.
- Turn on defogger switch.
- Measure voltage at each positions(s) as follows. For Wagon, measure voltage at the center of each defogger wire (1), and check defogger wire condition according to the table. See Fig 1
. For Sedan, measure voltage at position "a" and position "b" of each defogger wire (1), and check defogger wire condition according to table in illustration. See Fig 1
. If defogger wire open is found, go to next step.

- Touch voltmeter negative (-) lead to defogger wire ground terminal end (1). See Fig 2
- Touch voltmeter positive (+) lead with a foil strip to defogger wire power source terminal end (2), then move it along wire to defogger wire ground end (1). For Wagon, the place where voltmeter fluctuates from 10-12 to 0-1volt is where there is open. For Sedan, the place where voltmeter fluctuates from 10-12 volt to 4-6 volt or 4-6 volt to 0-1 volt is where there is open.
