Power Mirror Position Sensor Test

  1. Disconnect electrical connector from power mirror motor. Connect three 1.5-volt dry cell batteries together in series. See Fig 1. Connect dry cell positive lead to terminal No. 5 and negative lead to terminal No. 9. Connect voltmeter between terminals No. 6 and 9.
  2. While watching voltmeter, apply 12 volts across terminals No. 2 and 3, reversing polarity as necessary to move mirror in both directions. As mirror moves, voltage should gradually and smoothly change from 0.0-0.9 volt to 2.8-5.0 volts.
  3. Disconnect voltmeter and 12-volt battery from motor connector terminals (leave dry cell assembly connected). Connect voltmeter between terminals No. 4 and 9. Apply 12 volts across terminals No. 1 and 2 (reverse polarity as necessary). If voltage is not as specified in step 2), replace power mirror assembly.
