2 Rear View Mirrors DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Rear View Mirrors Interior Special Tool(s) Fluke 77-IV Digital Multimeter FLU77-4 or equivalent Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate hardware, or equivalent scan tool Principles of Operation Interior Auto-Dimming Rear View Mirror NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) may also be identified as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM). The interior auto-dimming rear view mirror automatically reduces the glare caused by headlamps reflecting in the interior rear view mirror. The autodimming feature is disabled when the vehicle is in REVERSE. Power is supplied to the interior auto-dimming mirror when the ignition is in the RUN or ACC position. The interior auto-dimming rear view mirror has 2 photoelectric sensors that detect forward and rearward light conditions, and based on those inputs, adjusts the reflectance level of the interior rear view mirror to eliminate unwanted glare. The reflectance level of the mirror glass is variable and depends on the amount of rear glare in relation to ambient light conditions in front of the interior mirror. When the forward sensor detects daytime conditions, the rearward sensor is inactive, and the mirror glass stays in a high reflectance mode. When the forward sensor detects nighttime conditions, the rearward sensor is active and detects glare from the headlights of vehicles approaching from the rear, or other glare producing light sources. To provide increased visibility when backing up, the interior rear view mirror glass will automatically return to a high reflectance mode whenever the selector lever is placed in REVERSE. If the forward or rearward sensors are blocked, the auto-dimming interior rear view mirror might not work correctly. Interior Rear View Mirror With Video Display For vehicles that are equipped with a rear-mounted object detection camera, a video image will be displayed on the LH side of the interior rear view mirror glass when the transmission is in the REVERSE position. For information on the rear-mounted object detection system, refer to Section Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern. 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step. 4. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

3 Rear View Mirrors If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC). 5. NOTE: The vehicle Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground from the DLC are provided to the VCM. If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM: check the VCM connection to the vehicle. check the scan tool connection to the VCM. refer to Section , Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no power to the scan tool. 6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle: verify the ignition key is in the ON position. verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle. refer to Section to diagnose no response from the BCM-B. 7. Carry out the network test. If the scan tool responds with no communication from one or more modules, refer to Section If the network test passes, retrieve and record the Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs). 8. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the BCM-B. 9. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the Body Control Module B (BCM-B) DTC Chart. For all other DTCs, refer to Section If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart Interior Mirror or GO to Symptom Chart NVH. DTC Chart NOTE: This module utilizes a 5-character DTC followed by a 2-character failure type code. The failure type code provides information about specific fault conditions such as opens or shorts to ground. Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs) have an additional 2-character DTC status code suffix to assist in determining DTC history.

For a list of these tools, an explanation of their uses and a glossary of common terms, refer to Section Since it is possible any one of multiple systems may be the cause of a symptom, it may be necessary to use a process of elimination type of diagnostic approach to pinpoint the responsible system. If this is not the causal system for the symptom, refer back to Section for the next likely system and continue diagnosis. Symptom Chart NVH Condition Possible Sources Action The interior mirror vibrates/loose Interior mirror mounting loose First check to see if the interior mirror is fully seated on the windshield button. If the mirror is not seated correctly, use the installation tool to seat the mirror. RECHECK to see if the mirror is still loose. If the mirror is still loose, REMOVE the interior mirror. REFER to Interior Rear View Mirror n Auto-Dimming or Interior Rear View Mirror Auto- Dimming in this section. INSPECT the interior mirror mount for damage. REINSTALL the interior mirror, making sure that it is fully seated. If the mirror is still loose, INSTALL a new the mirror. Pinpoint Tests Pinpoint Test D: The Auto-Dimming Mirror Does t Operate Correctly Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 124 Power Mirrors for schematic and connector information. rmal Operation Under normal operation, the interior auto-dimming mirror receives voltage from Smart Junction Box (SJB) fuse 41 (15A) through circuit CBP41 (BU) and ground from circuit GD139 (BK/YE). When the selector lever is placed in REVERSE, voltage is sent to circuit CAT03 (GY/BN) from the Body Control Module B (BCM-B) and the interior auto-dimming mirror will turn the dimming feature off. There are 2 photoelectric sensors: one in front of the interior rear view mirror and one mounted on the glass side of the mirror. If the sensors are blocked, the interior mirror auto-dimming feature might not work correctly. Always verify both sensors are not physically blocked before attempting to diagnose auto-dimming mirror concerns. DTC P0801:11 (Reverse Inhibit Control Circuit: Short to Ground) When the BCM-B senses a short to ground on the reverse inhibit control circuit, this DTC will set. DTC P0801:12 (Reverse Inhibit Control Circuit: Short to Battery) When the BCM-B senses a short to voltage on the reverse inhibit control circuit, this DTC will set. DTC P0801:13 (Reverse Inhibit Control Circuit: Open) When the BCM-B senses an open on the reverse inhibit control circuit, this DTC will set. This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
