Calibration Procedure With The Scan Tool
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 RAM 3500 HD and 2014 RAM 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Recommend the darkest environment possible when performing this routine.
NOTE:
When the SmartBeam® unit has entered calibration mode, it will be indicated by a continual flashing of the ElectroChromic (EC) mirror power button blue-green LED at a slow rate of once-per-second.
- Connect a diagnostic scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC) (2) below the driver side end of the instrument panel.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- With the tripod board set up, connect the AIM board transformer to illuminate the AIM board LED units.
- The Aim Test must now be run in order for the mirror to lock in its calibration.
- Use the diagnostic scan tool to lock the SmartBeam calibration. Look in the diagnostic scan tool under the SmartBeam® or AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM MODULE/AHBM menu for the "Aim Test". This test is usually found under System Tests. For certain vehicles where the AHBM is on a BCM LIN bus, navigate to the BCM's Misc. Functions tab for this procedure.
- Once the Aim Test has completed successfully, the EC Power button blue-green LED will stop flashing, indication the calibration has been learned and locked in.
- If the EC power button blue-green LED begins to flash at a faster rate (twice-per-second), it indicates that a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) has been recorded. Use the diagnostic scan tool to retrieve the DTC, then refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
- If the routine is giving a result of a failed calibration or timed out, the board is not set up properly. The technician should double check his measurements and set up of the board if the mirror will not calibrate.
