Diagnosis and Testing

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Section 501-09, for schematic and connector information.

Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS)

Inspection and Verification

  1. Verify the customer concern.
  1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

Visual Inspection Chart

Mechanical Electrical
  • Exterior mirror(s)
  • Fuse(s)
  • Relay
  • Electrical connector(s)
  • Switch
  1. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  1. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart.

PINPOINT TEST A : THE POWER FOLDING MIRRORS DO NOT OPERATE

TEST CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS
A1: CHECK THE POWER FOLDING MIRROR MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR CONTINUITY
1
Disconnect Power Folding Mirror Module C743.

2
Measure the resistance between the power folding mirror module C743 pin 5, circuit 31-AD27 (BK), harness side and ground.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
No
REPAIR circuit 31-AD27 (BK). TEST the system for normal operation.
A2: CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE POWER FOLDING MIRROR MODULE

1
Measure the voltage between the power folding mirror module C743 pin 4, circuit 29-AD27 (OG/BK), harness side and ground.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
Yes
No
REPAIR circuit 29-AD27 (OG). TEST the system for normal operation.
A3: CHECK FOR CONTINUITY BETWEEN THE POWER FOLDING MIRROR CONTROL SWITCH AND THE POWER FOLDING MIRROR MODULE
1
Disconnect Power Fold Mirror Control Switch C222.

2
Measure the resistance between the power folding mirror control switch C222 pin 2, circuit 91S-AD24 (BK/RD), harness side and the power folding mirror module C743 pin 2, circuit 31S-AD24 (BK/RD), harness side.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
No
REPAIR circuit 31S-AD24 (BK/RD) or circuit 91S-AD24 (BK/RD). TEST the system for normal operation.
A4: CHECK FOR CONTINUITY BETWEEN THE POWER FOLDING MIRROR MODULE AND THE DRIVER POWER FOLDING MIRROR MOTOR

1
Measure the resistance between the driver power folding mirror motor C807 pin 8, circuit 32-AD27 (WH/GN), harness side and the power folding mirror module C743 pin 3, circuit 32-AD27 (WH/GN), harness side.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
No
REPAIR circuit 32-AD27 (WH/GN). TEST the system for normal operation.
A5: CHECK FOR CONTINUITY BETWEEN THE POWER FOLDING MIRROR MODULE AND THE DRIVER POWER FOLDING MIRROR MOTOR

1
Measure the resistance between the driver power folding mirror motor C807 pin 9, circuit 33-AD27 (YE/GN), harness side and the power folding mirror module C743 pin 1, circuit 33-AD27 (YE/GN), harness side.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
INSTALL a new power folding mirror module. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
REPAIR circuit 33-AD27 (YE/GN). TEST the system for normal operation.

PINPOINT TEST B : THE POWER FOLDING MIRRORS DO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY

TEST CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS
B1: CHECK FOR CONTINUITY BETWEEN THE POWER FOLDING MIRROR MODULE AND THE INOPERATIVE POWER FOLDING MIRROR MOTOR
1
Disconnect Inoperative Power Folding Mirror Motor C807 or C821.
2
Disconnect Power Folding Mirror Module C743.

3
Measure the resistance between the:
  • Driver power folding mirror - power folding mirror motor C807 pin 8, circuit 32-AD27 (WH/GN), harness side and the power folding mirror module C743 pin 3, circuit 32-AD27 (WH/GN), harness side.
  • Passenger power folding mirror - power folding mirror motor C821 pin 8, circuit 32-AD28 (WH/GN), harness side and the power folding mirror module C743 pin 3, circuit 32-AD28 (WH/GN), harness side.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
No
REPAIR circuit 32-AD27 (WH/GN) or circuit 32-AD28 (WH/GN). TEST the system for normal operation.
B2: CHECK FOR CONTINUITY BETWEEN THE POWER FOLDING MIRROR MODULE AND THE INOPERATIVE POWER FOLDING MIRROR MOTOR

1
Measure the resistance between the:
  • Driver power folding mirror - power folding mirror motor C807 pin 9, circuit 33-AD27 (YE/GN), harness side and the power folding mirror module C743 pin 1, circuit 33-AD27 (YE/GN), harness side.
  • Passenger power folding mirror - power folding mirror motor C821 pin 9, circuit 33-AD28 (YE/GN), harness side and the power folding mirror module C743 pin 1, circuit 33-AD28 (YE/GN), harness side.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
