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.

REPAIR" procedure. 

VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR 

Refer to DTC B1912. 

DTC B1952 OSRVM DEFOGGER 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. 
DDM controls position, fold/unfold and defogging of outside mirror. Mirror defogger is located in outside 
mirror assembly and wipes fog on the mirror according to signal of DDM which receives driver's signal.

The ECM sets DTC B1952 if there's short circuit in OSRVM defogger circuit harness. 

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 (DTCs)"mode and monitor "DTC Status" parameter.  

4. Is the DTC B1952 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 
"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 OF VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure.
