Honda HR-V: Rear Window Defogger System Description - Control/Function
The Timer Function (Without Climate Control)
The rear window defogger provides the timer control function that is controlled by the HVAC control unit. The timer control is operated by turning the vehicle to the ON mode, then turn on the rear window defogger switch.
The timer operating time varies according to ambient temperature. If the rear window defogger switch is turned on when the timer is active, it toggles between ON and OFF every time the switch is pressed.
Timer operation time is changed under the following conditions:
- When the evaporator temperature sensor detection is lower than 16 ºF (-9 ºC), the timer operation time is unlimited.
- When the evaporator temperature sensor detection is higher than 18 ºF (-8 ºC), the timer operation time is 20 minutes. But when it was lower than 16 ºF (-9 ºC) once, the operation time is changed to unlimited.
- When the evaporator temperature sensor is failure, the timer operation time is 20 minutes.
