DTC Descriptors

DTC B154A 39
- Driver Mirror Internal Malfunction

DTC B154B 39
- Passenger Mirror Internal Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The outside mirror switch and passenger window switch are on a serial data circuit with the memory seat module as the master. The mirror select and directional control switches are inputs to the memory seat module through the serial data circuit. When the memory seat module receives switch inputs from the outside mirror switch, mirror output commands are sent to the appropriate switch through the serial data circuit. The outside mirror switch and passenger window switch control the left and right outside rear view mirrors through bi-directional motor control circuits. The motor control circuits are floating while in an inactive state and the switches will apply power and ground to the control circuits as necessary to move the mirror in the commanded direction.

Mirror position is determined by both horizontal and vertical position sensors in each of the power mirrors. The outside mirror switch and passenger window switch supply a 5 V reference, low reference, and horizontal and vertical position signal circuits to these sensors. The signal circuits are referenced from 5 V by the switches and the signal circuit voltage levels represent the mirror positions. The mirror positions are sent to the memory seat module through the serial data circuit where they are stored for memory mirror operation. When the memory seat module receives a memory recall command, the memory seat module will send the go to position commands to the outside mirror switch and passenger window switch. The switches will then drive the appropriate mirror motors to the commanded position sensor settings.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B154A 39

The outside mirror switch has determined that a hardware or software error has occurred.

B154B 39

The passenger window switch has determined that a hardware or software error has occurred.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Power mirror functions are suspended as long as the fault is present.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC will clear when the fault is no longer present.

* A history DTC will clear after 40 fault free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON.

2. Verify DTC B154A or B154B is not set.

If DTC B154A is set
Replace the S52 outside rearview mirror switch.

If DTC B154B is set
Replace the S79P window switch - passenger.

If DTC B154A or B154B is not set

3. All OK.
