ELECTROCHROMIC (EC) Diagnostics
Ensure that both the forward and rear sensors are not obstructed by hang items, tape, stickers, window decals, etc.
- With the ignition in the ON position:
Use a flashlight or other light source, to illuminate the forward facing sensor. The mirror should remain/adjust to a high reflectance state. This simulates daytime conditions.
Cover the forward facing sensor with a finger or dark material. Using a flashlight or other light source, illuminate the rear-facing sensor. The mirror should dim to a low reflectance state. This simulates nighttime glare conditions.
Cover the forward and rear facing sensors with fingers or dark material. The mirror should remain/adjust to a high reflectance state. This simulates nighttime non-glare conditions.
- With the ignition in the ON position, the BRAKE applied and the vehicle in REVERSE:
Cover the forward facing sensor with a finger or dark material. Using a flashlight or other light source, illuminate the rear-facing sensor. The mirror should remain in a high reflectance state. This simulates nighttime driving conditions, providing a clear view while backing up.
If the EC Comp/Temp Mirror does not respond as indicated, replace the EC Comp/Temp Mirror in accordance with the Service Information.
