Power Mirror Control Module: Service and Repair

Upper Electronic Module (UEM)/Rear View Mirror, Replacing

Removal

Preparatory information

NOTE:
- As the illustrations in this service information are used for different model years and/or models, some variation may occur. However, the essential information in the illustrations is always correct.
- A rear view mirror with manual function cannot be replaced with automatic anti-dazzle or vice versa. The system will store diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). The upper electronic module (UEM) is integrated in the rear view mirror.
- Read off data from the control module before replacing the control module. Program this data back into the new control module. Programmed data is read off via VIDA vehicle communication.

CAUTION: New software can only be ordered after the control module has been installed in the car. VIDA reads off the new control module identity which is required to order the correct software.

NOTE: Always check that the control module and control module box connectors do not have bent or damaged terminals or socket/sleeves. This may have been the cause of a fault.
