INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2: Left or right side heated door mirror does not operate













CIRCUIT OPERATION

If either of the heated door mirror do not operate normally, it may be due to malfunctions in the heated door mirror circuit or door mirror.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

- Malfunction of the heated door mirror circuit
- Malfunction of the door mirror
- The wiring harness or connectors may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

STEP 3. Check the heater of the door mirror (LH).

CAUTION:
When relocating the car between locations of extremely different temperatures
(warm and cold), leave the car in a location for a while to adapt to the temperature prior to checking it.





Check to see that the resistance between terminal 1 and 2 of the door mirror (LH) connector 9 of F-01 door mirror assembly.

- The resistance should be 7.2± 1.4ohms at 25°C (77°F).

Q. Is the resistance normal?

YES Go to Step 4.

NO Replace the door mirror (LH). And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (LH) is operating normally.

STEP 4. Check the ground circuit between door mirror (LH) connector F-01 door mirror assembly and ground for open circuit. Measure the resistance at door mirror (LH) connector F-01 door mirror assembly.

(1)Disconnect door mirror (LH) connector F-01 door mirror assembly and check at the wiring harness side connector.





(2)Measure the resistance value between terminal 1 and ground.

- The resistance should be 2ohms or less.

Q. Is the measured resistance 2ohms or less?

YES Go to Step 6.

NO Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between door mirror (LH) connector F-01 door mirror assembly (terminal 1) and ground.

NOTE:
Also check intermediate connector C-224 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-224 is damaged, repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in Harness Connector Inspection Harness Connector Inspection.

Q. Is the wiring harness between door mirror (LH) connector F-01 door mirror assembly (terminal 1) and ground in good condition?

YES No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO The wiring harness may be damaged. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (LH) operates normally.
STEP 6. Check rear window defogger relay connector C-405 for loose, corroded or damaged terminal, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q. Is rear window defogger relay connector C-405 in good condition?

YES Go to Step 7.
NO Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Harness Connector Inspection. And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (LH) operates normally.
STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between door mirror (LH) connector F-01 door mirror assembly (terminal 9) and rear window defogger relay connector C-405 (terminal 3).

NOTE:
Also check intermediate connector C-225 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-225 is damaged, repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in Harness Connector Inspection Harness Connector Inspection.

Q. Is the wiring harness between door mirror (LH) connector F-01 door mirror assembly (terminal 9) and rear window defogger relay connector C-405 (terminal 3) in good condition?

YES No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO Repair the wiring harness as necessary. And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (LH) operates normally.
STEP 8. Check the door mirror (RH) connector F-04 door mirror assembly for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q. Is the door mirror (RH) connector F-04 door mirror assembly in good condition?

YES Go to Step 9.
NO Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Harness Connector Inspection. And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (RH) operates normally.
STEP 9. Check the heater function of the door mirror (RH).

CAUTION:
When relocating the car between locations of extremely different temperatures
(warm and cold), leave the car in a location for a while to adapt to the temperature prior to checking it.





Check to see that the resistance between terminal 1 and 2 of the door mirror (RH) connector F-04 door mirror assembly.

- The resistance should be 7.2± 1.4ohms at 25°C (77°F).

Q. Is the resistance normal?

YES Go to Step 10.

NO Replace the door mirror (RH). And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (RH) operates normally.

STEP 10. Check the ground circuit between door mirror (RH) connector F-04 door mirror assembly and ground for open circuit. Measure the resistance at door mirror (RH) connector F-04 door mirror assembly.

(1)Disconnect door mirror (RH) connector F-04 door mirror assembly, and check at the wiring harness side connector.





(2)Measure the resistance value between terminal 1 and ground.

- The resistance should be 2ohms or less.

Q. Is the measured resistance 2ohms or less?

YES Go to Step 12.

NO Go to Step 11.

STEP 11. Check the wiring harness between door mirror (RH) connector F-04 door mirror assembly (terminal 1) and ground.

NOTE:
Also check intermediate connector C-211 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-211 is damaged, repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in Harness Connector Inspection Harness Connector Inspection.

Q. Is the wiring harness between door mirror (RH) connector F-04 door mirror assembly (terminal 1) and ground in good condition?

YES No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO The wiring harness may be damaged. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (RH) operates normally.
