One or both mirrors inoperative

  1. Check for voltage between the YEL/GRN¹ terminal and body earth with the ignition switch ON. There should be battery voltage.
    • If there is no voltage, check for:
      • blown No. 5 (7.5 A) fuse in the passenger compartment fuse/relay box.
      • an open in the YEL/GRN¹ wire.
    • If there is battery voltage, go to step 2.
  2. Check for continuity between the BLK terminal and body earth. There should be continuity.
    • If there is no continuity, check for:
      • an open in the BLK wire.
      • poor earth (G501).

Left mirror inoperative

Connect the YEL/GRN1 terminal of the 10 – P connector to the YEL/RED terminal, and the BLU/WHT (or YEL/BLK) terminal to body earth 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 YEL/BLK) wire between the left mirror and the 10 – P connector. If the wire is OK, check the left mirror motor.
  • If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the YEL/RED wire.
  • If the mirror works properly, check the mirror switch.

Right mirror inoperative

Connect the YEL/GRN¹ terminal of the 10 – P connector to the BLU/GRN terminal, and the BLU/WHT (or BLU/BLK) terminal to body earth with jumper wires. The right mirror should tilt down (or swing left) with the ignition switch ON.
  • If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), check for an open in the BLU/WHT (or BLU/BLK) wire between the right mirror and the 10 – P connector. If the wire is OK, check the right mirror motor.
  • If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the BLU/GRN wire.
  • If the mirror works properly, check the mirror switch.

Demister Test

Note: Check the No. 5 (7.5 A) fuse in the passenger compartment fuse/relay box before testing.

  1. Check for voltage between the YEL/GRN² terminal of the 10 – P connector and body earth with the ignition switch ON (II). There should be battery voltage.
    • If there is no voltage, check for an open in the YEL/GRN² wire between the passenger compartment fuse/relay box and the 10 – P connector.
    • If there is battery voltage, go to step 2.
  2. Connect the YEL/GRN² terminal of the 10 – P connector to the ORN terminal with a jumper wire. Both the right and left mirrors should gradually warm up with the ignition switch ON (II).
    • If neither warms up, repair the ORN wire.
    • If only one fails to warm up, check its mirror demister element.
    • If both warm up, check the switch.
