Mirror Test
One or both inoperative:
1. Check for voltage between the No.6 terminal and body ground with the ignition switch ON (II).
There should be battery voltage.
-
If there is no battery voltage, check for an open in the YEL/BLK wire.
-
If there is battery voltage, go to step 2.
2. Check for continuity between the No.7 terminal and body ground.
There should be continuity.
If there is no continuity, check for:
-
an open in the BLK wire.
-
poor ground (G401, G402).
Left mirror inoperative:
1. Connect the No.6 terminal to the No.10 terminal, and No.5 (or No.1) terminal to body ground with jumper wires.
The left mirror should tilt down (or swing left) with the ignition switch ON (II).
-
If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), check for:
-
an open in the BLU (or YEL) wire between the left mirror and the 10P connector.
-
faulty left mirror actuator.
-
If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the BRN wire.
-
If the mirror works properly, check the mirror switch.
Right mirror inoperative:
1. Connect the No.6 terminal to the No.9 terminal, and No.5 (or No.8) terminal to body ground with jumper wires.
The right mirror should tilt down (or swing left) with the ignition switch ON (II).
-
If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), check for:
-
an open in the BLU (or YEL) wire between the right mirror and the 10P connector.
