Express Folding Mirror (Japan Only)

The express folding mirrors feature is controlled by the express folding mirror switch that is built into the Driver Door Switch Assembly (DDSA), and the door modules. When the express folding mirror switch is activated, its signal is received as an active high input by the DDSA. The DDSA then sends a message on the power door serial data line to the driver door module (DDM) indicating that the switch has been activated. The DDM sends the message on to the passenger door module (DDM). If the express folding mirror switch is activated when the mirrors are currently folded, the modules will move the mirrors to the full extended position. If the express folding mirror switch is activated when the mirrors are currently extended, the modules will move the mirrors to the full fold position.

Each mirror has a reversible motor that the door modules control by supplying battery positive voltage (B+) and ground to the motor. For a mirror extend, the door module supplies battery positive voltage (B+) via the folding mirror motor extend circuit, and ground via the folding mirror motor retract circuit to the mirror power fold motor until the mirror fully extends. For a mirror retract, the door module reverses the polarity and supplies battery positive voltage (B+) via the folding mirror motor retract circuit and ground via the folding mirror motor extend circuit to the fold motor until the mirror fully retracts.
