Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Outlook. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inoperative outside rearview mirror heater element.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the heater element ground circuit terminal 10 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the heater element control circuit and ground circuit terminals 3 and 7 connector X3.
- Activate the inoperative mirror heater switch ON and OFF. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit terminal 7 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the inoperative door control module.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit terminal 7 for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the inoperative door control module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the inoperative outside rearview mirror.
