Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 GMC Acadia, 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2016 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the outside rearview mirror.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 7 and ground.
- Ignition ON, command the rear window defogger ON and OFF with the rear defogger switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the B+ circuit for a short to voltage.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the outside rearview mirror glass.
