DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC B1722 Mirror Power Fold Control Circuit

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
    • The ignition switch is in the ON position.
    • A mirror extend or retract function must be active.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
