The driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) receive mirror position signals from the mirror horizontal and vertical position sensors. These signals are used by the door modules for memory recall functions of the driver and passenger mirrors. The door modules command the mirror memory settings based upon the voltage level received back from the position sensors. Each door module provides a 5-volt supply, a signal, and ground circuit for each of the position sensors. The horizontal and vertical position sensors are variable resistors that the door modules monitor voltage levels across. When a memory setting is recalled, the door modules command the mirror motors in the appropriate directions until the stored position sensor voltage levels are achieved. The DDM and PDM monitor the signal circuits to determine if the voltage level is out of range.

Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.

B1580

An improper voltage level is seen on the horizontal position sensor signal circuit.

B1590

An improper voltage level is seen the vertical position sensor signal circuit.

Memory mirror recall functions are suspended as long as the fault is present.

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Mirror Horizontal Position and Mirror Vertical Position parameters. The reading should be between 0.2-4.8 volts and change as the mirror is moved, left, right, up, and down.

Driver

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the outside rearview mirror.
2. Wait 1 minute, test for less than 20.0 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 12 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DDM.

3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8 - 5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 9 and ground.

⇒	If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DDM.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DDM.

4. Install a 3-A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 11 and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 9. Verify the scan tool Mirror Horizontal Position parameter is greater than 4.8 volts.

⇒	If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DDM.

5. Install a 3-A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 10 and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 9. Verify the scan tool Mirror Vertical Position parameter is greater than 4.8 volts.

⇒	If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DDM.

6. Install a 3-A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 11 and the low reference circuit terminal 12. Verify the scan tool Mirror Horizontal Position parameter is less than 0.5 volt.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DDM.

7. Install a 3-A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 10 and the low reference circuit terminal 12. Verify the scan tool Mirror Vertical Position parameter is less than 0.5 volt.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the DDM.

8. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the outside rearview mirror.
