Blind Spot Display - Description

DESCRIPTION

Vehicles equipped with the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system have an Light Emitting Diode (LED) display unit mounted in the side view mirrors. The body of the displays are concealed to the back side of the side view mirror glass. Only the amber colored triangle is visible on the outer surface of the mirror glass. The BSM display units are an integral part to the mirror glass and are only serviced with the glass Outside Rearview Mirror - Removal and Outside Rearview Mirror - Installation for service information.

Hard-wired circuitry connects the various blind spot monitor system components to each other through the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard-wired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other and to the vehicle electrical system through the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, further details on wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-out and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

The blind spot monitor system components cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any of the BSM system components are damaged or inoperative, that component must be replaced. For more information on the blind spot monitor system and its components Blind Spot Monitoring System - Description
