2002 Chrysler Intrepid BaseFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE
Passenger Mirror Vertical Sensor Out Of Range Low
NOTE:
After making any repairs, perform MEMORY HEATED SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST
under VERIFICATION TESTS.
Monitored & Set Condition
- When Monitored: Ignition on.
- Set Condition: This code is set when the mirror sensor feedback to the MHSMM is less than the mirror out of range low value stored in EEPROM.
Possible Causes:
- MHSMM 5-Volt Supply
- 5-Volt Supply To Mirror
- Mirror Vertical Circuit Check
- Passenger Mirror 5-Volt Supply Open
- Passenger Mirror Vertical Position Signal Wire Open
- Passenger Mirror Vertical Position Signal Wire Short To Ground
- Passenger Memory Mirror
Testing
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect Memory Heated Seat/Mirror Module (MHSMM) connector C1. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage on MHSMM connector C1 terminal No. 6, passenger mirror vertical position signal circuit (Yellow/Red wire). See Figure . If voltage is 4.5-5.0 volts, replace MHSMM. See MEMORY HEATED SEAT/MIRROR MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If voltage is less than 4.5-5.0 volts, leave MHSMM connector C1 disconnected and go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect passenger mirror connector. Measure resistance of passenger mirror vertical position signal circuit (Yellow/Red wire) between driver mirror connector terminal No. 7 and MHSMM connector C1 terminal No. 6. See Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, leave connectors disconnected and go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Yellow/Red wire.
- Measure resistance between ground and passenger mirror connector terminal No. 7, passenger mirror horizontal position signal circuit (Yellow/Red wire). If resistance is less than 1000 ohms, repair short to ground in Yellow/Red wire. If resistance is 1000 ohms or more, leave passenger mirror connector disconnected and go to next step.
- Ensure MHSMM connector is properly connected. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage on passenger mirror connector terminal No. 6, passenger mirror sensor 5-volt supply circuit (Gray/White wire). If voltage is 4.5-5.0 volts, replace passenger mirror. See appropriate POWER MIRROR article. If voltage is not 5.5-5.0 volts, leave passenger mirror connector disconnected and go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect MHSMM connector C2. Measure resistance of passenger mirror sensor 5-volt supply circuit (Gray/White wire) between passenger mirror connector terminal 6 and MHSMM connector C2 terminal No. 8. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace MHSMM. See MEMORY HEATED SEAT/MIRROR MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Gray/White wire.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
