- Check the resistance of the (P712) Right Blind Spot Indicator Driver circuit between the RBSS harness connector and the Mirror harness connector.
- CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR HIGH RESISTANCE BY LOAD TESTING THE CIRCUIT NOTE:
Read the CIRCUIT LOAD TESTING PROCEDURE for information on building a simple load test tool and for additional load testing information and alternative methods of load testing or voltage drop testing a circuit. Refer to: CIRCUIT LOAD TESTING PROCEDURES .
CAUTION:Do not load test any circuits with components still connected to the circuit.
- Load test the Ground circuit at the Mirror harness connector (A). Note:
refer to the diagram below.NOTE:
The bulb on the load test tool should be illuminated and bright if there is no resistance in the circuitry. Compare the brightness of the bulb to that of a direct connection across Battery.
Is the load test bulb illuminated and bright?
Yes
- Go To 7
No
- Repair the (Z934) Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to: BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- Load test the Ground circuit at the Mirror harness connector (A). Note:
refer to the diagram below.
- CONNECT A FUSED JUMPER BETWEEN THE (P712) RIGHT BLIND SPOT INDICATOR DRIVER CIRCUIT AND THE GROUND CIRCUIT AT THE MIRROR HARNESS CONNECTOR - VERIFY ABILITY OF THE RBSS TO DETECT THE RIGHT BLIND SPOT SENSOR LED CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND DTC
- The ECU harness connectors must be connected to the ECU during this test step.
- Connect a fused jumper between the (P712) Right Blind Spot Indicator Driver circuit and the Ground circuit at the Mirror harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data and the When Monitored Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Does the scan tool display the B12A0-11 LEFT BLIND SPOT SENSOR LED CIRCUIT - CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND with the jumper in place?
Yes
- Replace the Passenger Mirror Assembly in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MIRROR, OUTSIDE REARVIEW, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONMIRROR, OUTSIDE REARVIEW, GLASS, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to: BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 8
- CHECK RELATED RBSS AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
- Disconnect all RBSS harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
