Circuit Description
The RH Door Control Module (RDCM) receives both vertical and horizontal position signals from the RH mirror. These signals are used by the RDCM for memory recall functions to determine the vertical and horizontal position of the RH mirror. The RDCM commands the mirror memory settings based upon the voltage level the RDCM receives back from the vertical and horizontal position sensors. The RDCM provides a 5 volt supply, a signal, and a ground to both of the position sensors. The position sensors are variable resistors which the RDCM monitors the voltage level across. When the LDCM sends a memory recall message on the serial data link, the RDCM will command the RH mirror motor in the appropriate direction until both the vertical and horizontal position sensors are within the voltage range stored in memory. The RDCM also monitors the RH mirror vertical and horizontal position sensor 5 volt supply circuit and can determine if the voltage level received is out of range. If the voltage level is out of range, then a malfunction is present and a DTC will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The RDCM detects the LH mirror vertical and horizontal position sensor supply voltage range under 4.0 volts or over 5.2 volts. |
| • | Condition must be present for 2 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | Stores a history DTC B2287 in the RDCM memory. |
| • | This DTC can only be set as a history code even if the malfunction is current. |
| • | No driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The RDCM detects the RH mirror vertical and horizontal position sensor supply voltage range between 4.0-5.2 volts for longer than 2 seconds. |
| • | Use the IPC clearing DTCs feature. |
| • | Use a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction: |
| - | There is an intermittent open or short (to ground or voltage) in CKT 787, CKT 785, CKT 788, or CKT 1251. |
| - | The RH mirror vertical or horizontal sensor is shorted internally. |
| • | If the RDCM is unable to determine the correct vertical or horizontal position, manual power mirror functions will still operate, but the RDCM will not be able correctly recall the position of the mirror when the memory button is pressed. |
| • | Using a scan tool, select RDCM Data display and monitor the mirror position sensor data. Move the power mirror vertically and horizontally while monitoring the position sensor data. This checks if the mirror position sensor supply voltage is within range in different positions. |
| • | If the DTC does not reset after the code is cleared, then the problem may be intermittent. Perform the tests shown while moving related wiring and connectors. This can often cause the malfunction to occur. Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections . |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
-
This test checks the position sensor reference voltage using a scan tool. Normal mirror position sensor reference voltage range is between 4.0-5.2 volts.
-
This test checks if the RDCM is sending the correct supply voltage to the RH mirror. The supply voltage measured must be between 4.0-5.2 volts.
-
This test checks for an open or short to voltage in CKT 1251 or in the RDCM internal ground circuit.
