If the vehicle is equipped with memory exterior mirrors and the concern remains after the inspection, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel.

    • SYSTEM PASSED for the DSM, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the DSM.
  6. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DSM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index.
  7. If DTCs are retrieved that are not found in the following DSM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index, refer to the master DSM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index in MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES .
  8. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
