Power Mirror Function Test

POWER MIRROR / FUNCTION TEST







NOTE: To test, remove the driver's door panel, then disconnect all of the connectors from the door panel.


NOTE: Check the No. 13 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box before testing.

One or Both Inoperative:
1. Check for voltage between the BLK/YEL terminal and body ground with the ignition switch ON (II). There should be battery voltage.
* If there is no voltage, check for:
- Blown No. 13 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
- An open in the BLK/YEL wire

* If there is battery voltage, go to step 2.

2. Check for continuity between the BLK terminal and body ground.
There should be continuity; check for:
- An open in the BLK wire
- Poor ground (G501, G502)

Left Mirror Inoperative:
Connect the BLK/YEL terminal of the 10-P connector to the YEL/RED1 terminal and the YEL/WHT (or YEL/BLK1) terminal to body ground with jumper wires.
The left mirror should tilt down (or swing left) when you turn the ignition switch ON (II).
* If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), check for an open in the YEL/WHT (or YEL/BLK1) wire between the left mirror and the switch. If the wire is OK, check the left mirror actuator.
* If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the YEL/RED1 wire between the left mirror and the switch.
* If the mirror operates properly, check the mirror switch.

Right Mirror Inoperative:
Connect the BLK/YEL terminal of the 10-P connector to the BLU/WHT terminal and the YEL/WHT (or BLU/BLK) terminal to body ground with jumper wires.
The right mirror should tilt down (or swing left) when you turn the ignition switch ON (II).
* If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), remove the right door panel and check for an open in the YEL/WHT (or BLU/BLK) wire between the right mirror and the switch. If the wire is OK, check the right mirror actuator.
* If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the BLU/WHT wire between the right mirror and the switch.
* If the mirror operates properly, check the mirror switch.
