Rear Defog Relay: The scan tool displays On/Off. When the rear window defogger is enabled, the instrument panel integration module (IPM) sends a class 2 message to the rear integration module (RIM) to enable the rear defogger relay. The RIM energizes the rear defogger relay by grounding the control circuit of the rear defogger relay, which the scan tool displays as On.

Reverse Lamp Relay: The scan tool displays On/Off. When the transmission is placed in the REVERSE position, the PCM sends a class 2 message to the RIM. The RIM grounds the control circuit of the reverse lamp relay, which the scan tool displays as On.
