Heated Element: Testing and Inspection






1. INSPECT MIRROR DEFOGGER OPERATION
a. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 6 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 4.
b. Check that the mirror becomes warm.

HINT: It will take a short time for the mirror to become warm.

If the mirror does not become warm, replace the mirror assembly.







2. INSPECT MIRROR DEFOGGER CIRCUIT
Disconnect the connector from the outside mirror and inspect the connector on the wire harness side, as shown.
If the circuit is not as specified, inspect the circuits connected to other parts.
