ELECTRIC BACKLIGHT (EBL) SYSTEM

NOTE: Illumination of the defogger switch indicator lamp does not necessarily mean that electrical current is reaching the rear window glass heating grid.

NOTE: For circuit descriptions and diagrams of the rear window defogger (EBL), refer to 8W - WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION.

Operation of the electric backlight (EBL) system can be confirmed by the following:

NOTE: Typical heated rear window glass shown.

• Confirm the ignition switch is in RUN.
• Confirm the rear window defogger switch is ON.
• Confirm the EBL feed wire (3) is connected to the heating grid positive terminal and that there is continuity between the TIPM and the heating grid.
• Confirm the EBL ground wire (6) is connected to the heating grid negative terminal and that there is continuity to ground.
