Power Mirror Control Unit Input Test/Replacement

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2015 Honda Odyssey, 2014 Honda Odyssey, and 2013 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Before testing, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control system first, using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ).

Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
Remove the driver's door panel (see FRONT DOOR PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
Disconnect the 24P connector (A) from the power mirror control unit (B).

Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
- If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
- If the terminals look OK, go to step 5.

Reconnect the connector to the power mirror control unit, and do the following input tests:

If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 6.

TEST CONDITION CHART

Cavity	Wire	Test condition	Test: Desired result	Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
2	GRN	Ignition switch ON (II)	Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.	Blown No. C11 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box An open or high resistance in the wire

17 . 7	BLU . LT GRN	Swing the right mirror from full left to full right	Measure the voltage between terminals No. 17 and No. 7: There should be about 0.5 V to 4.5 V (average about 2.5 V when the mirror moves).	Faulty right mirror position sensor An open or high resistance in the wire A short to ground in the wire
18 . 7	ORN . LT GRN	Move the right mirror from full up to full down	Measure the voltage between terminals No. 18 and No. 7: There should be about 0.5 V to 4.5 V (average about 2.5 V when the mirror moves).	Faulty right mirror position sensor An open or high resistance in the wire A short to ground in the wire

Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

Disconnect the connectors from the power mirror control unit, and do the following input tests.

If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
If all the input tests prove OK, the power mirror control unit must be faulty; replace it.
