Description And Operation: Description
Vehicles equipped with the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system have a BSM display indicator (1) within each outside rear view mirror. A Light Emitting Diode (LED) display unit is secured to the back of each mirror glass case and concealed behind the mirror glass within each outside rear view mirror. Only the amber colored triangle icon is visible on the outer surface of the mirror glass.
Hard wired circuitry connects the various blind spot monitor system components to each other through the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other and to the vehicle electrical system through the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, further details on wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin out and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The BSM display unit is an integral part of the mirror glass and case unit. The BSM display unit cannot be adjusted or repaired. If the display is damaged or ineffective, the entire mirror glass and case unit must be replaced.
