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 

Refer to DTC B1910.

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 
"VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure. 

TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION 

1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. 

Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical 
damage. 

2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, 

deterioration, or damage.  

3. Has a problem been found? 

YES  

Repair as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure. 

NO  

Go to SIGNAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION procedure. 

SIGNAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION 

1. Check for open in harness 

1. Ignition "OFF".  

2. Disconnect right outside mirror.  

3. Measure resistance between terminal "12" of ADM and chassis ground. 

Specification :Approx. infinity ohms
