Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S52 Outside Rearview Mirror Switch. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for infinite resistance between each of the control circuit terminals listed below and ground:
      • Terminal 1 control circuit
      • Terminal 2 control circuit
      • Terminal 3 control circuit
      • Terminal 7 control circuit
      • Terminal 8 control circuit
      • Terminal 9 control circuit
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the S52 Outside Rearview Mirror Switch.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  4. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the S52 Outside Rearview Mirror Switch and disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate A9 Outside Rearview Mirror.
  5. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal A and the control circuit terminal B.
  6. Verify the test lamp illuminates when commanding the UP/DOWN states with the S52 Outside Rearview Mirror Switch.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate during either of the commands 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S52 Outside Rearview Mirror Switch.
    2. Test for less than 1 V on each control circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    3. Test for infinite resistance between each control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    4. Test for less than 2 Ω in each control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace at the S52 Outside Rearview Mirror Switch.
    • If the test lamp illuminates during each of the commands 
  7. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal A and the control circuit terminal C.
  8. Verify the test lamp illuminates when commanding the LEFT/RIGHT states with the S52 Outside Rearview Mirror Switch.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate during either of the commands 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S52 Outside Rearview Mirror Switch.
    2. Test for less than 1 V on each control circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    3. Test for infinite resistance between each control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    4. Test for less than 2 Ω in each control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace at the S52 Outside Rearview Mirror Switch.
    • If the test lamp illuminates during each of the commands 
  9. Test or replace the Outside Rearview Mirror Inner Actuator.
