Power Mirror Function Test




Power Mirror Function Test

1. Remove the instrument panel Instrument Panel Removal/Installation.

2. Disconnect the 13P connector (A) from the power mirror switch (B).





3. Choose the appropriate test based on the symptom:

- Both mirrors don't work, go to step 4.
- Right mirror doesn't work, go to step 6.
- Left mirror doesn't work, go to step 7.

Both mirrors

4. Check for voltage between the terminal No. 2 and body ground with the ignition switch ON (II). There should be battery voltage.

- If there is no battery voltage, check for:
- Blown No. 10 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
- An open in the BRN wire.
- If there is battery voltage, go to step 5.

5. Measure the voltage between the terminal No. 6 and body ground while you operate the mirrors.

There should be less than 0.2 V.

- If there is 0.2 V or more, check for:
- An open in the BLK wire.
- Poor ground (G501).
- If the voltage is as specified, check both mirrors individually.

Right mirror

6. Connect the terminal No. 2 to the terminal No. 11, and the terminal No. 5 (then No. 13) to the terminal No. 6 with jumper wires, and turn the ignition switch to ON (II). The right mirror should tilt down, then swing left.

- If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), check for open in the GRN (or BLU) wire between the right mirror and the power mirror switch 13P connector.
- If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair open in the LT GRN wire.
- If the wires are OK, check the right mirror actuator Power Mirror Actuator Test.
- If the mirror works properly, check the power mirror switch Service and Repair.

Left mirror

7. Connect the terminal No. 2 to the terminal No. 10, and the terminal No. 5 (then No. 12) to the terminal No. 6 with jumper wires, and turn the ignition switch to ON (II). The left mirror should tilt down, then swing left.

- If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), check for open in the GRN (or PNK) wire between the left mirror and the power mirror switch 13P connector.
- If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair open in the ORN wire.
- If the wires are OK, check the left mirror actuator Power Mirror Actuator Test.
- If the mirror works properly, check the power mirror switch Service and Repair.
