Mirror Surface Moves Unexpectedly (Both Sides)

Trouble causes: 

CAUTION: Before performing diagnosis, refer to "CAUTION" in "General Description". Ref. to DOOR MIRROR (DIAGNOSTICS)>General Description>CAUTION .
  1. CHECK DTC  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON, and wait for 20 seconds or more.
    2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read the DTCs in [Door Mirror (Driver)], [Power Seat Memory] and [Transmission]. Ref. to Door Mirror (Diagnostics)>Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) . Ref. to POWER SEAT MEMORY SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) . Ref. to TRANSMISSION (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .
      • Door Mirror (Driver)
      • Power Seat Memory
      • Transmission

      Are any DTCs displayed? (Current malfunction)

      Yes  : Perform the diagnosis for the displayed DTCs. Ref. to Door Mirror (Diagnostics)>Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) . Ref. to POWER SEAT MEMORY SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) . Ref. to TRANSMISSION (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

      No  : Go to  2 .

  2. CHECK PHENOMENON  .

    Check that the mirror surface position moves automatically linking with seat operation.

    Does the mirror surface position move linking with seat operation?

    Yes  : Go to  3 .

    No  : Go to  7 .

  3. CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Check that the following connectors are properly connected. Repair the connector if any broken pin or poor mating is detected.
      • Memory switch connector
      • Outer mirror control module (driver's seat) connector
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    4. Check that the faulty phenomenon is reproduced.

      Is the faulty phenomenon reproduced?

      Yes  : Go to  4 .

      No  : Since the poor contact of connector has repaired, the circuit condition returned to normal.

  4. CHECK MEMORY SWITCH  .

    Check memory switch unit. Ref. to SEATS>POWER SEAT SYSTEM .

    Is the memory switch OK?

    Yes  : Go to  5 .

    No  : Replace the memory switch. Ref. to SEATS>POWER SEAT SYSTEM .

  5. CHECK HARNESS (GROUND SHORT CIRCUIT)  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the outer mirror control module (driver's seat) connector.
    3. Disconnect the memory switch connector.
    4. Using a tester, measure the resistance between outer mirror control module (driver's seat) connector and chassis ground.

      Connector and terminal 

      (Df21) No. 5 - Chassis ground:

      (Df21) No. 6 - Chassis ground:

      Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

      Yes  : Go to  6 .

      No  : Repair the short circuit to ground between outer mirror control module (driver's seat) connector and memory switch connector.

  6. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL  .

    Using the Subaru Select Monitor, check the input signal on the [Data monitor] of [Door Mirror (Driver)]. Ref. to Door Mirror (Diagnostics)>Data Monitor .

    • Memory SW1
    • Memory SW2

    Does the display change properly corresponding to the memory switch operation?

    Yes  : Perform the diagnosis for power seat control module. Ref. to POWER SEAT MEMORY SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE .

    No  : Replace the outer mirror control module (driver's seat). Ref. to GLASS/WINDOW/MIRRORS>OUTER MIRROR CONTROL MODULE .

  7. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL  .

    Using the Subaru Select Monitor, check the input signal on the [Data monitor] of [Door Mirror (Driver)]. Ref. to Door Mirror (Diagnostics)>Data Monitor .

    • Shift Position Signal

    Does the display change correctly according to the select lever operation?

    Yes  : Replace the outer mirror control module (driver's seat) and check if any malfunction occurs. Ref. to GLASS/WINDOW/MIRRORS>OUTER MIRROR CONTROL MODULE . If a malfunction occurs, replace the power seat control module. Ref. to SEATS>POWER SEAT SYSTEM .

    No  : Perform the diagnosis for TCM. Ref. to TRANSMISSION (DIAGNOSTICS)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE .
