Lexus NX: Mirror Heater does not Operate with Rear Defogger Switch
DESCRIPTION
When the rear window defogger switch (mirror heater switch) on the air conditioning control assembly is pressed, the operation signal is transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly via LIN communication. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the defogger relay to operate the mirror heaters.

| NG | | REPLACE OUTER MIRROR RH |
|
| 5. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DEF RELAY - OUTER REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY RH AND BODY GROUND) |
(a) Disconnect the L12 outer rear view mirror assembly RH connector.
(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Switch Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| L12-4 (HR+) - L12-12 (-) | Power switch on (IG), rear window defogger switch on | 11 to 14 V |
| L12-4 (HR+) - Body ground | Power switch on (IG), rear window defogger switch on | 11 to 14 V |
| OK | | REPLACE OUTER MIRROR RETRACTOR RH |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
| 6. | INSPECT OUTER MIRROR LH |
(a) Remove the outer mirror LH.
Click here
(b) Inspect the outer mirror LH.
Click here
| NG | | REPLACE OUTER MIRROR LH |
|
| 7. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DEF RELAY - OUTER REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY LH AND BODY GROUND) |
(a) Disconnect the M11 outer rear view mirror assembly LH connector.
(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Switch Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| M11-4 (HL+) - M11-12 (-) | Power switch on (IG), rear window defogger switch on | 11 to 14 V |
| M11-4 (HL+) - Body ground | Power switch on (IG), rear window defogger switch on | 11 to 14 V |
| OK | | REPLACE OUTER MIRROR RETRACTOR LH |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
