Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 (RPO W49) or X2 (RPO DNP) at the outside rearview mirror.
  2. Wait 1 minute, test for less than 1.0 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the appropriate door switch.
  3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 7 and ground.
  4. Ignition ON, command the mirror heater ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the door switch.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the door switch.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the outside rearview mirror glass.
