When Monitored:
Continuously
Set Condition:
When the Front Control Module does not detect voltage on the Defogger Relay Control circuit.
Possible Causes
REAR DEFOGGER J/B FUSE
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER RELAY
IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT OPEN
DEFOGGER RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
DEFOGGER RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN
FRONT CONTROL MODULE
Diagnostic Test
With the scan tool, record and erase DTC's
Operate the Rear Defogger Switch several times.
Cycle the ignition from on to off 3 times and leave on.
With the scan tool, read DTC's.
Does the scan tool display the same DTC?
Yes
Go To 1.
No
The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Using the wiring
diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.
1. JUNCTION BLOCK FUSE
Turn the ignition on.
Microsoft
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the Rear Window Defogger fuse in the Junction
Block.
Does the test light illuminate and was the fuse OK?
No
Repair the Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit for an open or replace the fuse if open and check
for a shorted Defogger Relay.
Yes
Go To 2.
2. OPEN IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN) TO RELAY
Fig. 2: Ignition Switch Output To Relay

Microsoft
Remove the Rear Defogger Relay from the Junction Block.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the Ignition Switch Output circuit at the relay
connector.
Does the test light illuminate?
No
Replace the Junction Block.

Yes
Go To 3.
3. REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER RELAY
Install a known good relay in place of the Rear Window Defogger Relay.
With the scan tool erase DTC's
Operate the Rear Window Defogger several times.

No
Replace the original Rear Window Defogger Relay.

Yes
Go To 4.
4. CHECK THE (C115) DEFOGGER RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
Microsoft
Fig. 3: Measuring Resistance Between Ground And Defogger Relay Control Circuit
Remove the Rear Window Defogger Relay from the junction block.
Disconnect the Front Control Module from the PDC 49 - way connector.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (C115) Defogger Relay Control circuit at the relay.
Is the resistance below 1000.0 ohms?
Yes
Repair the (C115) Defogger Relay Control circuit for a short to ground.
No
Microsoft
Go To 5.
5. CHECK THE (C115) DEFOGGER RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
Fig. 4: Measuring Resistance Of Defogger Relay Control Circuit

Microsoft
Measure the resistance of the (C115) Defogger Relay Control circuit from the relay connector to FCM
connector.
Is the resistance below 3.0 ohms?
Yes
Replace the Front Control Module.

No
Repair the (C115) Defogger Relay Control circuit for an open.

Operate the Rear Window Defogger switch several times.
Does the scan tool display B106C - REAR DEFROST CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH?
Yes
Go To 2.
No
The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Using the wiring
diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
2. REAR DEFOGGER RELAY
Turn the ignition off.
Install a known good relay in place of the Rear Window Defogger Relay.
Microsoft
With the scan tool erase DTC's
Operate the Rear Window Defogger Switch several times.
Does the scan tool display B106C - REAR DEFROST CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH?
No
Replace the original Rear Window Defogger Relay.

Yes
Go To 3.
3. (C115)-DEFOGGER RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT
Microsoft
Fig. 6: Measuring Resistance Between Defogger Relay Control Circuit And Ground
Remove the Rear Window Defogger Relay.
Disconnect the Front Control Module from the PDC 49 - way connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage between (C115) Defogger Relay Control circuit and ground.
Is there any voltage present?
Yes
Repair the (C115) Defogger Relay Control circuit for a short to voltage.
Microsoft
No
Replace the Front Control Module.

BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1
Diagnostic Test
1. Perform Body Verification Test
1) Disconnect all jumper wires and reconnect all previously disconnected components and connectors.
2) Ensure that all accessories are turned off.
3) Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
4) Turn the ignition on.
5) With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs from all modules.
6) If an electronic control module was replaced, select the applicable module from the scan tool menu and
press "Misc. Functions". If the module has programmable features, program as necessary.
7) If any repairs were made to the Power Liftgate, use the scan tool and perform the open and close
system tests. Observe the instructions on the scan tool.
8) For MTC systems only, if repairs were made to any of the HVAC door actuator circuits, with the scan
tool in HVAC, select System Tests and then select Actuator DTC Detection. The test must pass before
proceeding to step 9.
9) For either ATC or MTC systems, if repairs were made to any of the HVAC doors, linkage, door
actuators, or door actuator circuits, with the scan tool in HVAC, select System Tests and then select
Actuator Calibration Test. The test must pass before proceeding to step 10.
10) Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and then turn the ignition on.
11) Operate all functions of the system that caused the original concern.
12) With the scan tool, select ECU View.
13) Check for DTCs in the modules.
Are DTCs present in any of the modules or is the original condition still present?
Yes
Microsoft
The repair is not complete. Refer to the appropriate ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS article for the
DTC or symptom that is still present.
No
The repair is complete.
