Testing

Note. If the transmission range (TR) sensor is malfunctioning and the backup lamps are on all the time or do not turn on, the auto-dimming interior mirror will not darken or return to normal view.

  1. G1 CHECK OPERATION OF THE BACKUP LAMPS Key in ON position. Move the shift control selector through the entire range. Do the backup lamps illuminate only in REVERSE? Yes : GO to G2. No : REFER to «EXTERIOR LIGHTING»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/exterior-lights/#exterior-lighting-system) to diagnose backup lamps.
  2. G2 CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE AUTO-DIMMING INTERIOR MIRROR - DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS Key in ON position. Turn the auto-dimming feature ON. The green LED on the mirror should be ON. Use a bright lamp to simultaneously illuminate the forward-facing sensor and the rear-facing sensor. The mirror should adjust to a high reflectance mode (mirror will be clear). Does the mirror adjust to the high reflectance (clear) mode? Yes : GO to G4 . No : GO to G3.
  3. G3 VERIFY THAT THE FORWARD- AND REAR-FACING SENSORS ARE NOT BLOCKED Visually verify that the forward- and rear-facing sensors are not blocked. Sources of blockage can include: Stickers, window decals or tags. Fold-down screens for TVs or DVD players. Non-OEM window tinting. Were either of the sensors blocked? Yes : If possible, REMOVE the blockage. TEST the system for normal operation. If the blockage cannot be removed, REVIEW the operation of the auto-dimming interior mirror with the customer. No : GO to G3.
  4. G4 CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE AUTO-DIMMING MIRROR NIGHT TIME CONDITIONS WITH GLARE Key in ON position. Simulate night time conditions with glare: Cover the forward-facing sensor with black electrical tape or other dark material. Illuminate the rear-facing sensor. The mirror should darken to a lower reflectance mode. Did the mirror darken to a lower reflectance (darker) mode? Yes : GO to G5. No : GO to G7 .
  5. G5 CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE AUTO-DIMMING MIRROR NIGHT TIME CONDITIONS WITHOUT GLARE Key in ON position. Simulate night time conditions without glare. Cover the forward-facing sensor with black electrical tape or other dark material. Cover the rear-facing sensor. The mirror should adjust to the high reflectance mode. Did the mirror adjust to the high reflectance (clear) mode? Yes : GO to G6. No : GO to G7 .
  6. G6 CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE AUTO-DIMMING MIRROR - NIGHT TIME CONDITIONS WITH THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE Key in ON position. Simulate night time conditions with glare. Cover the forward-facing sensor with black electrical tape or other dark material. Illuminate the rear-facing sensor. Select REVERSE. Did the mirror adjust to a high reflectance (clear) mode? Yes : The system is operating normally at this time. REVIEW operation of the auto-dimming interior mirror feature with the customer. No : GO to G7.
  7. G7 CHECK CIRCUIT 1004 (LB/RD) FOR VOLTAGE Disconnect: Interior Mirror C911. Measure the voltage between interior mirror C911-1, circuit 1004 (LB/RD) harness side and ground. Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? Yes : GO to G8. No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  8. G8 CHECK CIRCUIT 1203 (BK) FOR AN OPEN Key in OFF position. Measure the resistance between interior mirror C911-2, circuit 1203 (BK) harness side and ground. Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? Yes : GO to G9. No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  9. G9 CHECK CIRCUIT 1367 (WH/YE) FOR VOLTAGE Key in ON position. Select REVERSE. Measure the voltage between interior mirror C911-3, circuit 1367 (WH/YE) harness side and ground. Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? Yes : INSTALL a new interior mirror. REFER to «INTERIOR MIRROR»(/ford/five-hundred/i-2004-2007/remont/mirrors/#rear-view-mirror-system) . TEST the system for normal operation. No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
