STEP 1.Verify the operation of each heated door mirror.

Q: Which door mirror does not heat?

Door mirror (LH): Go to Step 2.
Door mirror (RH): Go to Step 8.

STEP 2.Check door mirror (LH) connector E-01 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q: Is door mirror (LH) connector E-01 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.

NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection. And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (LH) operates normally.

STEP 3.Check the heater of the door mirror (LH).

CAUTION: When relocating the car between locations of extremely different temperatures (warm and cold), leave the car in a location for a while to adapt to the temperature prior to checking it.






Check to see that the resistance between terminal 1 and 5 of the door mirror (LH) connector E-01.
- The resistance should be 8.4 ± 1.2 ohms at 25° C (77° F).

Q: Is the resistance normal?

YES : Go to Step 4.

NO : Replace the door mirror (LH). And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (LH) is operating normally.

STEP 4.Check the ground circuit between door mirror (LH) connector E-01 and ground for open circuit. Measure the resistance at door mirror (LH) connector E-01.

1. Disconnect door mirror (LH) connector E-01 and check at the wiring harness side connector.






2. Measure the resistance value between terminal 5 and ground.
- The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : Go to Step 6.

NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5.Check the wiring harness between door mirror (LH) connector E-01 (terminal 5) and ground.

NOTE: Also check joint connector C-07 and intermediate connector C-125 and C-126 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If joint connector C-07 and intermediate connector C-125 and C-126 is damaged, repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection.

Q: Is the wiring harness between door mirror (LH) connector E-01 (terminal 5) and ground in good condition?

YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.

NO : The wiring harness may be damaged. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (LH) operates normally.

STEP 6.Check rear window defogger relay connector C-306 for loose, corroded or damaged terminal, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q: Is rear window defogger relay connector C-306 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 7.

NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection. And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (LH) operates normally.

STEP 7.Check the wiring harness between door mirror (LH) connector E-01 (terminal 1) and rear window defogger relay connector C-306 (terminal 3).

NOTE: Also check joint connector C-07 and intermediate connector C-126 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If joint connector C-07 and intermediate connector C-126 is damaged, repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection.

Q: Is the wiring harness between door mirror (LH) connector E-01 (terminal 1) and rear window defogger relay connector C-306 (terminal 3) in good condition?

YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.

NO : Repair the wiring harness as necessary. And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (LH) operates normally.

STEP 8.Check the door mirror (RH) connector E-04 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q: Is the door mirror (RH) connector E-04 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 9.

NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection. And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (RH) operates normally.

STEP 9.Check the heater function of the door mirror (RH).

CAUTION: When relocating the car between locations of extremely different temperatures (warm and cold), leave the car in a location for a while to adapt to the temperature prior to checking it.






Check to see that the resistance between terminal 1 and 5 of the door mirror (RH) connector E-04.
- The resistance should be 8.4 ± 1.2 ohms at 25° C (77° F).

Q: Is the resistance normal?

YES : Go to Step 10.

NO : Replace the door mirror (RH). And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (RH) operates normally.

STEP 10. Check the ground circuit between door mirror (RH) connector E-04 and ground for open circuit. Measure the resistance at door mirror (RH) connector E-04.

1. Disconnect door mirror (RH) connector E-04, and check at the wiring harness side connector.






2. Measure the resistance value between terminal 5 and ground.
- The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : Go to Step 12.

NO : Go to Step 11.

STEP 11.Check the wiring harness between door mirror (RH) connector E-04 (terminal 5) and ground.

NOTE: Also check joint connector C-07 and intermediate connector C-114 and C-115 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If joint connector C-07 and intermediate connector C-114 and C-115 is damaged, repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection.

Q: Is the wiring harness between door mirror (RH) connector E-04 (terminal 5) and ground in good condition?

YES : No action is necessary and testing is complete.

NO : The wiring harness may be damaged. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (RH) operates normally.

STEP 12.Check rear window defogger relay connector C-306 for loose, corroded or damaged terminal, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q: Is rear window defogger relay connector C-306 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 13.

NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection. And then check to see that the heater function of the door mirror (RH) operates normally.

STEP 13.Check the wiring harness between door mirror (RH) connector E-04 (terminal 1) and rear window defogger relay connector C-306 (terminal 3).

NOTE: Also check joint connector C-07 and intermediate connector C-115 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If joint connector C-07 and intermediate connector C-115 is damaged, repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection.
