Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
System Outline
When the ignition SW is turned on, the outer mirrors can be operated. When the remote control mirror SW is operated, a signal is input to the remote control mirror ECU, and the outer mirror can be adjusted to the desired position.
In this system, the position sensor detects the number of rotations of each motor (Movement amount of each mirror) and inputs it to the remote control mirror ECU. This makes it possible to store and recall the outer mirror position using the driving position memory SW. The outer mirror position is stored and recalled through communication control of the body ECU.
When the remote control mirror SW (Select SW) is moved to the left side from neutral position, while the ignition SW is on and the shift lever is in R position, the outer mirror LH, RH moves downward a little bit. In this case, it is not necessary to operate the remote control mirror SW for approx. 120 seconds.
