Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The outside rearview mirror switch supplies both voltage and ground to the rearview mirror motors. When the rearview mirror switch is being pressed the switch supplies the voltage and ground to the appropriate circuits to engage the appropriate mirror motor.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON, with the mirror selector switch in the DRIVER position, command the mirrors UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT using the mirror directional switch. The driver mirror should move in the commanded direction.
2. With the mirror selector switch in the PASSENGER position, command the mirrors UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT using the mirror directional switch. The passenger mirror should move in the commanded direction.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the S101 door lock/window switch.
2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 14 and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 16 and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal refer to Power Mode Mismatch Power Mode Mismatch.
4. Connect the harness connector at the outside rearview mirror switch.
5. Disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate A9 outside rearview mirror.
6. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 4 and the control circuit terminal 1.
7. Operate the vertical switch UP and DOWN. The test lamp should turn ON when commanding the UP and DOWN states.
• If the test lamp remains OFF during either of the commands, test for a short to voltage, short to ground or an open/high resistance on the control circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the power mirror switch.
8. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 2 and the control circuit terminal 1.
9. Operate the horizontal switch LEFT and RIGHT. The test lamp should turn ON when commanding the LEFT and RIGHT states.
• If the test lamp remains OFF during either of the commands, test for a short to voltage, short to ground or an open/high resistance on the control circuits. If the circuits test normal, replace the power mirror switch.
10. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate A9 outside rearview mirror.
