Rear Window Defogger Timer - ETM Fix

TITLE:
ETM Fix: Rear Window Defogger Timer
APPLIES TO:
2003 Accord
SERVICE TIP:
You need to fix page 64-2 of the 2003 Accord ETM Second Edition. The text makes this bogus statement in two paragraphs: "A timer in the heater control panel ('climate control unit' in the second paragraph) will automatically turn the defogger off after it has been on continuously for about 25 minutes." There's no such timer in 2003 Accords! Make sure you cross out these sentences in your copies of the ETM.
You also need to tweak the circuit diagram text on pages 64 and 64-1. The text for the audio-HVAC display module on page 64 should read: (Rear window defogger switch and ON indicator LED are built into Audio-HVAC Display Module.). The text for the climate control unit on page 64-1 should read: (Rear window defogger switch and ON indicator LED are built into Audio-HVAC Display Module.). Make sure you fix these pages in your copies of the ETM.
