The door modules supply battery positive voltage and ground on opposing mirror motor control circuits based on the position of the mirror switch.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • System voltage must be between 9.0-16.0 volts.
    • The ignition switch must be in the ON position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • If the mirror motor right control circuit is shorted to battery voltage and the mirror is commanded left.
    • If the mirror motor down control circuit is shorted to battery voltage and the mirror is commanded up.
    • If the outside rearview mirror motor down control circuit is shorted to ground and the mirror is commanded down.
    • If the outside rearview mirror motor right control circuit is shorted to ground and the mirror is commanded right.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The outside rearview mirror will not operate properly on all axes.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

When the fault is no longer present, the door module changes the current DTC to a history DTC. The door module will clear the history DTC after 50 fault free ignition cycles, or in response to a scan tool command.
