Remote Controlled Mirror Operation

  1. The mirror on the door mirror moves up/down and left/right by operating the remote controlled door mirror switch when the ignition switch is at the "ON" or "ACC" position.

Heated Door Mirror Operation

  1. The rear window defogger relay switch is activated (ON) by turning on the A/C-ECU built-in rear window defogger switch when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. When the rear window defogger relay is turned ON, power is supplied to the rear window defogger, and the heater of the door mirror (heated door mirror) starts operation. The rear window defogger comes with a timer function and will automatically turn OFF the switch approximately 20 minutes after the rear window defogger switch is turned ON. The heated door mirror operations are also terminated along with the rear window defogger, at this time.

TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY

Diagnosis should be carried out by the following procedures.

  1. Gather the information from the customer.
  2. Verify that the condition described by the customer exists.
  3. Find the malfunction by the following SYMPTOM CHART.
  4. Verify the malfunction is eliminated.
