Kia Sedona (2008 year). Manual - part 163

If the problem is corrected, replace left outside mirror and then go to "VERIFICATION OF 
VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure. 

2. Check left outside mirror sensor 

1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC).  

2. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF"  

3. Measure voltage value between terminal "12" of outside mirror and chassis ground. While 

operating outside mirror switch. 

Specification: left end --> approx. 1.04V, right end --> approx. 3.95V

4. Is the measured voltage within specifications? 

YES  

Go to step 3. 

NO  

Substitute with a known-good right outside mirror and check for proper operation. If the problem is 
corrected, replace right outside mirror and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE 
REPAIR" procedure. 

3. Check DDM 

1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC).  

2. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF"  

3. Measure voltage value between terminal "9,11" of outside mirror and chassis ground. While 

operating outside mirror switch. 

Specification: 9-16V

4. Is the measured voltage within specifications? 

YES  

Check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, 
or damage. 

Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR" 
procedure. 

NO  

Substitute with a known-good ADM and check for proper operation. 

If the problem is corrected, replace ADM and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE 
REPAIR" procedure. 

VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR 

After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected. 

1. Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC s)" mode and then clear DTC.  

2. Operate the vehicle and monitor the DTC on the scan tool.  

3. Are any DTC s present? 

YES  

Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure. 

NO

System is performing to specification at this time.

DTC B1911 LEFT OSM VERTICAL MOTOR OR SENSOR ERROR 

COMPONENT LOCATION 

Refer to DTC B1910. 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

DDM is a node of CAN communication system which consists of IPM. FAM, RAM, ADM, IMS. Main 
function of DDM is lock/unlock of door and window, adjusting position and fold/unfold of outside mirror. 
Outside mirror module consists of motor and position sensor. According to Outside mirror Switch signal, 
Outside mirror motor adjusts position of mirror and position sensor delivers result to DDM by voltage value. 

DTC DESCRIPTION 

The ECM sets DTC B1911 if signal voltage of left outside mirror vertical sensor is out of range. 

DTC DETECTING CONDITION 

DTC DETECTING CONDITION 

MONITOR DTC STATUS 

1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC).  

2. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF".  

3. Select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC s)" mode and monitor "DTC Status" parameter.  

4. Is the DTC B1911 present? 

YES  

Go to TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION procedure. 

NO  

Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or ECM's connector or was repaired and 
ECM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, 
corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to
