Toyota Avalon Service & Repair Manual: Mirror Heater does not Operate with Rear Defogger Switch

DESCRIPTION

When the mirror heater switch (rear window defogger switch) on the radio and display receiver assembly is pressed, the operation signal is sent to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via CAN communication. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the DEF relay to operate the mirror heaters.
