A: INSPECTION
1. CHECK WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR
CAUTION:
Check that the rear window defogger timer is in initial setting or customize setting before performing
inspection.
2. HEAT WIRE INSPECTION
CAUTION:
Use a dry and soft cloth when wiping dirt off the
glass. Move the cloth along the heat wire to
avoid damaging it.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Turn the defogger switch to ON.
3) Wrap the tips of tester probe with aluminum foil
to avoid damage to heat wire.
4) Measure the voltage at heat wire center with DC
voltmeter.
Standard voltage:
Approx. 6 V
NOTE:
•If the measured value is 12 volts, heat wire is
open between heat wire center and positive (+) ter-
minal of tester probe.
•If it is 0 V, the circuit is open between heat wire
center and ground.
Step Check Yes No
