  1. Disconnect the mirror connector of the passenger door module (PDM).
  2. Using a digital multimeter (DMM) measure the resistance between the mirror drive circuits of the vertical mirror motor.

Does the resistance measure within the specified range?

2-8 ohms

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 3

3

Measure the resistance between each of the two drive circuits of the vertical mirror motor and any other circuit in the harness connector.

Is the resistance less than the specified value?

OL
