id091200801000

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Turn the rear window defroster switch on.

Caution

• Directly touching the rear window 

defroster filament with the lead of the 
tester could damage it. Wrap aluminum 
foil around the end of the lead and 
inspect the filament by touching it with 
the foil.

3. Connect the positive lead of the tester to the 

positive side of each filament and the negative 
lead to ground.

4. Gradually slide the positive lead from the positive 

side to the negative side and verify that the 
voltage decreases accordingly.

• If the voltage changes rapidly, the filament 

has a malfunction. Repair the filament.
