B1560
DTC B1560, B1565, B1570, or B1575
Circuit Description
The outside mirror control switch is contained within the driver door switch assembly (DDSA). The DDSA contains a microprocessor which takes the signal generated by the outside mirror control switch and assigns a digital message to the switch signal. The DDSA sends this message via the GMLAN serial data circuit to the driver door module (DDM) to move the left mirror or the passenger front door module (PDM) to move the right mirror. The DDM or PDM then applies voltage and ground to the appropriate circuits of the appropriate mirror motor to move the mirror vertically and/or horizontally. For more detailed information concerning power outside mirror operation refer to Outside Mirror Description and Operation.
DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
* DTC B1560 Mirror Right Control Switch Circuit
* DTC B1565 Mirror Left Control Switch Circuit
* DTC B1570 Mirror Up Control Switch Circuit
* DTC B1575 Mirror Down Control Switch Circuit
This vehicle has DTCs which include DTC symptoms. For more information on DTC symptoms, refer to DTC Symptom Description in Vehicle DTC Information.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The DDM and the DDSA must be powered.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The DDSA communicates with the DDM via GMLAN that the outside power mirror control switch is closed for more than 30 continuous seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The DDSA deactivates and ignores inputs from the failed switch contacts and stops sending messages for this switch to the DDM. The DDSA will continue to respond to inputs from other non-failed switch contacts.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* You issue a scan tool CLEAR DTCs command.
* A history DTC will clear once 40 consecutive malfunction free ignition cycles have occurred.
Diagnostic Aids
Important: When a contact for a mirror position has failed, it will affect both mirrors.
Thoroughly inspect the wiring and connectors. An incomplete inspection of the wiring and connectors may result in misdiagnosis causing part replacement with the reappearance of the malfunction. If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Diagnostic Aids. Component Tests and General Diagnostics
