1. Verify the customer concern.


Visual Inspection Chart:






2. Inspect the components of the exterior mirror system to determine if any of the following mechanical or electrical concerns apply:

3. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).

4. NOTE: The vehicle communication module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground from the DLC are provided to the VCM.

If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM:
- check the VCM connection to the vehicle.
- check the scan tool connection to the VCM.
- refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network), no power to the scan tool, to diagnose no communication with the scan tool.

5. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
- verify the ignition key is in the ON position.
- verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.
- refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network) to diagnose no response from the driver seat module (DSM).

6. Carry out the network test.
- If the scan tool responds with no communication from one or more modules, refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network).
- If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).

7. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the DSM.
8. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the Driver Seat Module (DSM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index. For all other DTCs, refer to Body Control Systems (Multifunction Electronic Control Module). Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions
9. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
