Heated Mirrors Test

The operation of the heated mirror system can be confirmed in the following manner:




- Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. The heated mirror operation can be checked by feeling the outside rear view mirror glass. A distinct difference in glass can be detected within three to four minutes of temperature between the unheated and heated mirror glass can be detected within three to four minutes of system activation.

If no difference in temperature can be detected on the side- view mirror glass surface, refer to heated mirror electrical diagnostics.

NOTE: If the interior dome lamp dims or flickers while a door is opened and the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position, inspect the door wire harness section that flexes near the door hinge. It is possible to have an intermittent open or short circuit in the mirror heating grid B+ or ground circuits when the door is not in a stationary position.
