Heated Mirrors

The mirrors heat during the defrost/defog cycles for the rear window. The heated mirrors are connected to the driver door module and the passenger front door module. The driver door module receives a class 2 message from the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) via the Rear Integration Module (RIM) commanding the heated mirrors ON. The driver door module also examines information from the Dash Integration Module (DIM) to determine if vehicle conditions are correct for the heated mirrors function to occur. If conditions are correct, the driver door module then commands the driver side mirror heater ON, and sends a power door serial data message to the passenger front door module to command the passenger side mirror heater ON.

The driver door module supplies battery positive voltage to the LH outside rearview mirror heating element via the feed circuit, and ground via the return circuit.

The passenger front door module supplies battery positive voltage to the RH outside rearview mirror heating element via the feed circuit, and ground via the return circuit.
