  1. Disconnect the mirror connector of the door module for the inoperative outside mirror.
  2. Measure the resistance between the mirror position sensor signal circuit and the mirror sensor ground circuit of the mirror motor that is inoperative.
  3. Measure the resistance between the position sensor signal circuit and the sensor reference circuit.

Is the resistance less than the specified value?

OL

  1. Make sure that the door module controlling the inoperative mirror is connected to the harness connectors except the mirror harness connector.
  2. Turn ON the ignition.
  3. Attach a fused jumper to the sensor reference and sensor signal circuit pins for the inoperative mirror motor.
  4. With the scan tool, observe the mirror position sensor parameter in the driver door module (DDM) data list.

Does the parameter indicate the voltage range specified?

4.75-5 V
