  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  4. Measure the voltage between terminal No. 2 and body ground.
    • If there is less than 0.2 V, go to step 5.
    • If there is more than 0.2 V, check for:
      • Poor ground (G501).
      • An open or high resistance in the wire.
  5. Measure the voltage between terminal No. 1 and body ground.
    • If there is battery voltage, go to step 6.
    • If there is no voltage, check for:
      • Blown No. 5 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
      • An open or high resistance in the wire.
  6. Measure the voltage between terminal No. 3 and body ground with the shift lever in R (reverse) position.
    • If there is battery voltage, replace the mirror assembly.
    • If there is no voltage, check for:
      • Faulty driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
      • Faulty transmission range switch (A/T).
      • Faulty back-up light switch (M/T).
      • An open or high resistance in the wire.
