Mirror Motor Circuit Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X3 at the appropriate door module.
  2. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp does not illuminate between the supply voltage circuit terminal B7 and ground.
    • Control circuit terminal B4
    • Control circuit terminal B2
    • Control circuit terminal B6
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the appropriate control circuit for a short to voltage.
  3. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the following control circuits and ground:
    • Control circuit terminal B4
    • Control circuit terminal B2
    • Control circuit terminal B6
    • If less the specified value, test the appropriate control circuit for a short to ground.
  4. 4. Test for 40-100 ohms of resistance between the control circuit terminal B4 and the control circuit terminal B6.
    • If not within the specified range, test both control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the rearview mirror motor.
  5. Test for 40-100 ohms of resistance between the control circuit terminal B2 and the control circuit terminal B6.
    • If not within the specified range, test both control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the rearview mirror motor.
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate door module.
