Circuit Description

The driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) switch the mirror fold motor control circuits to battery voltage and ground in response to mirror extend or retract command.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • Battery voltage must be between 9.0-16.0 volts.
    • The ignition switch is in the ON position.
    • A mirror extend or retract function must be active.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

When the DDM or PDM switch the mirror fold motor control circuits to battery voltage and ground and one of the mirror fold motor control circuits are shorted to ground, shorted to battery or open.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The DDM or PDM will stop suppling battery voltage and ground to the mirror fold motor and the folding mirrors will be inoperative.

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.
