The driver electrochromatic mirror is controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM receives the dimming control from the sensor in the Interior Rearview Mirror. The BCM send a Bus message to the Driver Door Module (DDM) which turns the dimming on and off. At night the dimming will be cancelled when the vehicle is in reverse.
