    • DTC B1544 Mirror Motors Common Circuit
    • DTC B1600 Mirror Motor 1 Vertical Circuit
    • DTC B1605 Mirror Motor 2 Horizontal Circuit

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • System voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
    • The mirror motor control circuits must be active.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • If the mirror motor control circuits are switched to battery voltage and the mirror motor control circuit is shorted to ground.
    • If the mirror motor control circuits are switched to ground and the mirror motor control circuit is shorted to battery voltage.
