3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:

4. Reconnect the connector to the control unit, do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result
is not obtained
25 LT GRN Vehicle ON mode Measure the voltage to ground:
There should be battery voltage.
  • Blown No. C23 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
5*1 LT BLU Vehicle ON mode Connect terminals No. 5 and No. 25, and power mirror switch 13P connector terminals No. 9 and No. 13 with jumper wires:
The left power mirror should UP.
  • Faulty left power mirror actuator
  • Poor ground (G401) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
3 BLK In all power modes Measure the voltage to ground:
There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Poor ground (G401)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
31 BLK In all power modes Measure the voltage to ground:
There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Poor ground (G401)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
11*2 BRN Vehicle ON mode, power mirror switch in EXTEND position Measure the voltage to ground:
There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Faulty power mirror switch
  • Poor ground (G401) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
Vehicle ON mode, power mirror switch in RETRACT position Measure the voltage to ground:
There should be about 12 V.
  • Faulty power mirror switch
  • A short to ground in the wire

*1: Without DPMS, auto idle stop system

*2: With retractable mirror

5. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

6. Disconnect the connector from the power window master switch, and do the following input tests:

NOTE:  After replacing the power window master switch, do the resetting the power window control unit. Refer to:

Resetting The Power Window Control Unit .

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result
is not obtained
8*1
9*1
WHT
GRN
Vehicle ON mode, connect terminals No. 25 to No. 8 (or No. 9) and terminal No. 9 (or No. 8) to body ground with a jumper wires

NOTE:  if the mirror stops moving, disconnect battery power immediately.

Check the retract actuator operation:
The left mirror should retract (or extend).
  • Faulty left retract actuator
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
6*2 BLU Power mirror switch in RIGHT mirror position Check for continuity to ground:
There should be continuity.
  • Faulty power mirror switch
  • Poor ground (G401) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
7*2 TAN Power mirror switch in RIGHT mirror position Check for continuity to ground:
There should be continuity.
  • Faulty power mirror switch
  • Poor ground (G401) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
15*3 TAN Vehicle ON mode, connect terminals No. 25 and No. 15 with a jumper wire Check the left power mirror defogger operation:
The left power mirror defogger should work (the inside lower edge becomes warm).
  • Faulty left power mirror defogger
  • Poor ground (G401) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
36 GRY Disconnect these connectors:
  • Front passenger's power window switch 24P connector
  • Moonroof motor-control unit 14P connector
Check for continuity between terminal No. 36 and front passenger's power window switch 24P connector terminal No. 24:
There should be continuity.
An open in the LIN (WINDOW) wire
Check for continuity between terminal No. 36 and moonroof motor-control unit 14P connector terminal No. 12:
There should be continuity.
An open in the LIN (WINDOW) wire
Check for continuity to ground:
There should be no continuity.
A short to ground in the LIN (WINDOW) wire

*1: With retractable mirror

*2: Without DPMS, auto idle stop system

*3: With mirror defogger
