  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the rearview mirror.
  2. Test for less than 1 Ξ© of resistance between the ground circuit and ground.
    • If greater than 1 Ξ©, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the voltage supply circuit and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. With the transmission in PARK, test for less than 0.5 volts between the backup lamp supply voltage circuit and ground.
    • If the voltage is greater than 0.6 volt, test the backup lamp supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage.
  5. With the transmission in REVERSE, test for greater than 11 volts between the backup lamp supply voltage circuit and ground.
    • If the voltage is not 12 volts, test the backup lamp supply voltage circuit for an open/high resistance.
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the rearview mirror.

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
