Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Cadillac ATS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Driver Outside Mirror Folding Command Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A9A Outside Rearview Mirror-Driver. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the control circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K96D Mirror Control Module-Driver.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K96D Mirror Control Module-Driver.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Test for less than 10 Ω between the control circuit terminal 18 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K96D Mirror Control Module-Driver.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K96D Mirror Control Module-Driver.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  4. Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal 4 and control circuit terminal 18, ignition ON.
  5. Verify the test lamp turns ON when commanding the FOLD and UNFOLD states with a scan tool.
    • If the test lamp remains OFF during either of the commands 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the harness connector at the K96D Mirror Control Module-Driver.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between each control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K96D Mirror Control Module-Driver.
    • If the test lamp turns ON during each of the commands 
  6. Test or replace the A9A Outside Rearview Mirror-Driver.

Passenger Outside Mirror Folding Command Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A9B Outside Rearview Mirror-Passenger. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the control circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the S79P Window Switch-Passenger.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the S79P Window Switch-Passenger.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Test for less than 10 Ω between the control circuit terminal 18 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the S79P Window Switch-Passenger.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the S79P Window Switch-Passenger.
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  4. Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal 4 and control circuit terminal 18, ignition ON.
  5. Verify the test lamp turns ON when commanding the FOLD and UNFOLD states with a scan tool.
    • If the test lamp remains OFF during either of the commands 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the S79P Window Switch-Passenger.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between each control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the S79P Window Switch-Passenger.
    • If the test lamp turns ON during each of the commands 
  6. Test or replace the A9B Outside Rearview Mirror-Passenger.
