Principles of Operation

Exterior Mirrors - The movement of the LH and RH exterior mirror glass is controlled by the exterior mirror control switch and the LH and RH exterior mirror motors. Adjusting the exterior mirror switch to the LH or RH position determines which exterior mirror motor will be controlled. The exterior mirror control switch logic is the selected movement request from the exterior mirror control switch. When the exterior mirror control switch is adjusted to the left, right, up or down position, the exterior mirror control switch will supply voltage and ground to the selected exterior mirror motor to move the exterior mirror glass to the desired position.

The exterior mirrors use a jumper harness between the vehicle wire harness connector and the exterior mirror motor. The exterior mirror jumper harness is integral to the exterior mirror. If a concern with the exterior mirror jumper harness exists and cannot be repaired, a new exterior mirror must be installed.

Heated Exterior Rear View Mirror - The rear window defrost switch controls the operation of the heated exterior rear view mirrors. The heated exterior rear view mirrors only operate when the rear window defrost system is operating. The heated exterior rear view mirror power is supplied by the rear defroster relay through battery junction box (BJB) fuse 1 (15A), which isolates the heated exterior mirrors from the rear window defroster system in the event of a concern.

The interior auto-dimming rear view mirror automatically reduces the glare caused by headlamps reflecting in the interior rear view mirror. Power is supplied to the interior auto-dimming mirror when the ignition is in the RUN position or the accessory delay is active. The auto-dimming feature is disabled when the vehicle is in REVERSE.

The interior auto-dimming rear view mirror has 2 photoelectric sensors, a forward facing sensor and a rearward facing sensor, that detect forward and rearward light conditions. Based on these inputs, the automatic dimming feature adjusts the reflectance level of the interior rear view mirror glass 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 interior rear view mirror 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 will automatically return to a high reflectance mode whenever the vehicle is in REVERSE.

If the forward or rearward sensors are blocked, the interior auto-dimming rear view mirror might not work correctly.

Normal Operation

The exterior mirror control switch receives power through circuit SBB12 (GN/RD) and ground through circuit GD133 (BK). The exterior mirror control switch uses circuit CPM23 (GY) as the common circuit for both exterior mirror up/down and right/left movement.

The interior auto-dimming mirror receives power from circuit CPL60 (BN/YE) and ground from circuit GD161 (BK/YE). The auto-dimming feature will be disabled when the selector lever is placed in REVERSE and the interior auto-dimming mirror receives voltage through circuit CLS10 (GN/BN). There are 2 photoelectric sensors: one in the front of the interior rear view mirror and one mounted on the glass side of the mirror. If the sensors are blocked, the interior auto-dimming feature might not work correctly. Always verify both sensors are not physically blocked before attempting to diagnose interior auto-dimming mirror concerns.
