Circuit/System Description

The driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) each provide motor control output functions for their respective mirrors. These output controls allow each door module to command their respective power mirrors in horizontal and vertical positions. The power mirror switch is integrated into DDM. When the DDM detects an active mirror command from the power mirror switch, the DDM will send a GMLAN serial data message to the PDM. Each door module will command there respective mirror motor in the appropriate direction by applying ground or voltage to the control circuit, depending on the desired mirror position. For more detailed information concerning power mirror operation refer to Outside Mirror Description and Operation.
