Mirror Position Memory Sensors: Avalon

  1. Disconnect drivers side power mirror switch harness connector. Strip off the vinyl tape of connector and remove wire terminals No. 2, 3, 6, 7 and 9 from connector housing. Connect three 1.5-volt dry cell batteries in series. See Fig 1.

  3. Apply vehicle battery voltage to terminals No. 2 and 3, while checking the gradual voltage change from mirror uppermost position of 0-1.8 volts to mirror lowermost position of 2.8-5.0 volts. Reverse vehicle battery voltage leads on terminals No. 2 and 3, while checking the gradual voltage change from mirror lowermost to uppermost position. If voltage is not as specified, replace motor assembly.
  4. Disconnect vehicle battery leads. Leave dry cell battery leads connected to terminals No. 6 and 7. Disconnect DVOM positive lead from terminal No. 9 and connect to terminal No. 8.
  5. Apply vehicle battery voltage to terminals No. 1 and 2, while checking the gradual voltage change from mirror left-most to right-most position. Reverse vehicle battery voltage leads on terminals No. 1 and 2 while checking the gradual voltage change from mirror right-most to left-most position.
  6. With mirror voltage in left position, voltage should gradually change from right-most 0-1.8 volts to 2.8-5.0 volts in left-most position. With mirror voltage in right position, voltage should gradually change from left-most 0-1.8 volts to 2.8-5.0 volts in right-most position. If voltage is not as specified, replace motor assembly.
  7. Using an ohmmeter, check driving position memory and return switch continuity. See DRIVING POSITION MEMORY & RETURN SWITCH CONTINUITY TEST (AVALON)  table.
