Rearview Monitor Mirror Input Test/Replacement

NOTE: The normal operating temperature range of rearview monitor mirror is -22°F to 176°F (-30°C to 80°C). Allow the inside temperature of the vehicle to stabilize within the normal operating range before testing.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II)
  2. Check the auto dimming inside mirror indicator. If the indicator flashing two times, and then turns on, there is a malfunction in the mirror. Replace it.
  3. Remove the roof console (see step 2 on HEADLINER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  4. Disconnect the 12P connector (A) from the roof wire harness (B).

  5. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals look OK, go to step  6.
  6. Remove the tailgate lower trim panel (see TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - TAILGATE AREA ).
  7. With the connector still disconnected, do these input tests.
    NOTE: Make sure the connector is connected while testing terminals 12, 5 and 6. Make sure the connector is disconnected while testing terminals 3, 8, 2, 1 and 7.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If the input tests prove OK. Substitute and connect a known-good rearview camera and check the monitor image in reverse. If the symptom is gone, the rearview camera is faulty; replace it (see REARVIEW CAMERA REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ). If the symptom is still present, the rearview mirror is faulty; replace it.
