|
|
(2)Turn on the rear window defogger switch.
|
|
|
(3)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
|
|
|
(4)Measure the voltage between door mirror assembly (RH) connector (power supply terminal)
and body earth.
OK: System voltage
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Intermittent malfunction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Go to Step 6.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 6. Check of short to power supply, short to earth, and open circuit
in power supply line between door mirror assembly (RH) connector and J/B connector.
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Intermittent malfunction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 7. Check of the heater element of the door mirror (LH)
|
|
|
Check the heater element of the door mirror (LH). (Refer to Heater Element Check .)
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Go to Step 8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace the mirror glass of the door mirror assembly (LH).
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 8. Measure the resistance at the door mirror assembly (LH) connector.
|
|
|
(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
|
|
|
(2)Measure the resistance between door mirror assembly (LH) connector (earth terminal)
and body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Go to Step 10.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Go to Step 9.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 9. Check of open circuit in earth line between the door mirror
assembly (LH) connector and body earth.
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Intermittent malfunction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 10. Measure the voltage at the door mirror assembly (LH) connector.
|
|
|
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
|
|
|
(2)Turn on the rear window defogger switch.
|
|
|
(3)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
|
|
|
(4)Voltage between door mirror assembly (LH) connector (power supply terminal) and
body earth.
OK: System voltage
|
|
|
Q.
