Circuit Description
The LH Door Control Module (LDCM) receives a horizontal position signal from the LH mirror horizontal position sensor. This signal is used by the LDCM for memory recall functions to determine the horizontal position of the LH mirror. The LDCM commands the mirror memory settings based upon the voltage level the LDCM receives back from the horizontal position sensor. The LDCM provides a 5 volt supply, a signal, and a ground to the horizontal position sensor. The horizontal position sensor is a variable resistor which the LDCM monitors the voltage level across. When a memory setting is recalled, the LDCM will command the LH mirror motor in the appropriate direction until the stored position sensor voltage level is achieved. The LDCM also monitors the LH mirror horizontal position signal circuit and can determine if the voltage level received is out of range. If the voltage level is out of range, then a malfunction is present and a DTC will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The LDCM detects LH mirror horizontal position sensor signal voltage range under 0.1 volts or over 4.78 volts. |
| • | Condition must be present for 2 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | Stores a history DTC B2262 in the LDCM memory. |
| • | This DTC can only be set as a history code even if the malfunction is current. |
| • | No driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The LDCM detects the correct LH mirror horizontal position sensor signal voltage range (0.1-4.78 volts) for longer than 2 seconds. |
| • | Use the IPC clearing DTCs feature. |
| • | Use a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction: |
| - | There is an intermittent open or short (to ground or voltage) in the LH mirror reference, signal, or ground circuit. |
| - | The LH mirror horizontal position sensor is open or shorted internally. |
| • | If the LDCM is unable to determine the correct horizontal position, manual power mirror functions will still operate, but the LDCM will not be able to recall the correct mirror memory settings. |
| • | Using a scan tool, select LDCM Data display and monitor the mirror horizontal position data. Move the LH power mirror horizontally in both direction while monitoring the horizontal position sensor data. The voltage range should vary and stay between 0.1-4.78 volts depending on the direction of the mirror. This checks if the mirror horizontal position sensor is open or shorted in different positions. |
| • | If the DTC does not reset after the code is cleared, then the problem may be intermittent. Perform the tests shown while moving related wiring and connectors. This can often cause the malfunction to occur. Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections . |
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
-
This tests the LH mirror horizontal position signal voltage using a scan tool. Normal signal voltage range is between 0.1-4.78 volts.
-
This tests the LH mirror horizontal position signal voltage using a scan tool with the mirror disconnected. Normal signal voltage range with the mirror disconnected is approximately 4.0 volts.
-
This tests the LH mirror horizontal position signal voltage using a scan tool with the signal circuit jumpered to the sensor ground circuit. Normal signal voltage range with the sensor jumpered to ground is less than 0.1 volt.
-
This tests the LH mirror horizontal position signal voltage using a scan tool with the signal circuit jumpered to the 5 volt reference circuit. Normal signal voltage range with the sensor jumpered to the 5 volt reference circuit is over 4 volts.
