Caution : Disconnect the negative battery cable before removing or installing any electrical unit or when a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with exposed electrical terminals. Disconnecting this cable will help prevent personal injury and damage to the vehicle. The ignition must also be in LOCK unless otherwise noted.
Defogger System Electric Control OSRV (Outside Rear View) Mirror System DIAGNOSIS Testing Rear Liftgate Glass If it has been observed during use that a grid line is inoperative, the following procedure can be used to find the break. If none of the grid lines is operating, a full system diagnosis should be completed before attempting to repair the grid lines.
1. Turn the ignition ON.
2. Turn the liftgate glass defogger on. 3. From the inside of the vehicle, connect a voltmeter to each end of a grid line. The voltmeter will indicate battery voltage if the grid line is open. Notice : Use care when touching the voltmeter leads to a grid line. If the leads are roughly applied, the grid line may be scratched, resulting in an open circuit.
4. If a grid line is found to be open, move a voltmeter lead from one side of the grid line and retest at a point nearer to the other side of the window. Continue to retest, each time bringing one of the voltmeter leads closer to the opposite side of the window from where it was originally placed. The break in the grid line is at the point where the voltmeter begins reading 0 volts instead of battery voltage. 5. If a grid line is found to be open, move a voltmeter lead from one side of the grid line and retest at a point nearer to the other side of the window. Continue to retest, each time bringing one of the voltmeter leads closer to the opposite side of the window from where it was originally placed. The break in the grid line is at the point where the voltmeter begins reading 0 volts instead of battery voltage. 5. Use a marking crayon to lightly mark the break point on the rear window. Mark the glass instead of marking directly on the grid line, and make the mark far enough from the grid line so that it can easily be removed without disturbing the repair. 6. Use a marking crayon to lightly mark the break point on the rear window. Mark the glass instead of marking directly on the grid line, and make the mark far enough from the grid line so that it can easily be removed without disturbing the repair. 6.

Mark the grid line break on the outside of the glass with a wax pencil or a crayon. 5. Buff the grid lines that are to be repaired with steel wool. Wipe the lines clean using a cloth dampened with alcohol. Buff and clean about 6 mm (0.25 inch) beyond each side of the break in the grid line.
6. Attach a grid line repair decal or two strips of tape above and below the repair areas. A repair decal or tape must be used in order to control the width of the repair areas. If a decal is used, the die-cut metered slot must be the same width as the grid line. 7. Apply the grid repair material to the repair area using a small wooden stick or a spatula. The grid repair material should be at room temperature. 8. Carefully remove the decal or the tape. Notice : The grid line repair material must be cured with heat. In order to avoid heat damage to the interior trim, protect the trim near the repair area where heat will be applied.
