Accord L4-2.4L (2005)
Heated Element: Testing and Inspection
Function Test
1. Remove the driver's door switch trim.
-
2-door
-
4-door
NOTE: The illustration shows 4-door.
2. Disconnect the 13P connector (A) from the power mirror switch (B), and inspect the terminals. If OK, go to step 3.
3. Choose the appropriate test based on the symptom:
-
Both mirrors don't work, go to step 4.
-
Left mirror doesn't work, go to step 6.
-
Right mirror doesn't work, go to step 7.
-
Defogger doesn't work (Canada), go to step 8.
Both mirrors
4. 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:
-
Blown No. 30 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
-
An open in the BLK/YEL wire.
-
If there is battery voltage, go to step 5.
5. Check for continuity between the No. 3 terminal and body ground.
There should be continuity.
-
If there is no continuity, check for:
-
An open in the BLK wire.
-
Poor ground (G501, G601).
-
If there is continuity, check both mirrors individually as described in the next column.
Left mirror
6. Connect the No. 6 terminal to the No. 9 terminal, and the No. 2 (or No. 10) terminal to the No. 3 terminal 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/WHT (or GRN/WHT) wire between the left mirror and
the 13P connector. If the wire is OK, check the left mirror actuator.
-
If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the BLU/BLK wire.
-
If the mirror works properly, check the mirror switch.
Right mirror
7. Connect the No. 6 terminal to the No. 7 terminal, and the No. 1 (or No. 10) terminal to the No. 3 terminal 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 WHT/RED (or GRN/WHT) wire between the right mirror and
the 13P connector. If the wire is OK, check the right mirror actuator.
-
If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the RED/YEL wire.
-
If the mirror works properly, check the mirror switch.
