DESCRIPTION
When the rear window defogger switch on the air conditioning control assembly is pressed, the operation signal is transmitted to the air conditioning amplifier assembly through the LIN communication line. When the air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the signal, it turns on the DEICER relay to operate the windshield deicer.

Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL3) (P0796)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The TCM uses the vehicle speed signal and signals from the transmission speed
sensors (NC, NT) to detect the actual gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear).
Then the TCM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the TCM memo ...
