Pinpoint Test

1. CHECK FOR DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) FROM THE SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left) AND SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right) SELF-TESTS

1. Using a scan tool, perform the SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left) and SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right) DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) self-tests.

Is DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) B11D6:11 or B11D6:15 recorded?








2. CHECK THE EXTERIOR MIRROR BLIS(R) / CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) LED (Light-emitting Diode) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Disconnect: Left Exterior Mirror BLIS(R) / CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) LED (Light-emitting Diode) C576 (LH (Left Hand) concern).

3. Disconnect: Right Exterior Mirror BLIS(R) / CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) LED (Light-emitting Diode) C676 (RH (Right Hand) concern).

4. Ignition ON.

5. NOTE: It is normal for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) B11D6:15 to set when carrying out this step. It can be ignored.
Clear the SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left) or SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right) DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).

Is DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) B11D6:11 retrieved?








3. CHECK THE EXTERIOR MIRROR FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Disconnect: Left Exterior Mirror C516 (LH (Left Hand) concern).

3. Disconnect: Right Exterior Mirror C601 (RH (Right Hand) concern).

4. Ignition ON.

5. NOTE: It is normal for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) B11D6:15 to set when carrying out this step. It can be ignored.
Clear the SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left) or SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right) DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).

Is DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) B11D6:11 retrieved?








4. CHECK THE EXTERIOR MIRROR BLIS(R) / CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) LED (Light-emitting Diode) SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Disconnect: SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left) (LH (Left Hand) concern).

3. Disconnect: SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right) (RH (Right Hand) concern).

4. Measure:
LH (Left Hand)





RH (Right Hand)





Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?








5. CHECK THE SUSPECTED EXTERIOR MIRROR BLIS(R) / CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) LED (Light-emitting Diode) FOR ILLUMINATION

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Disconnect: SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left) (LH (Left Hand) concern).

3. Disconnect: SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right) (RH (Right Hand) concern).

4. Connect a fused jumper wire:
LH (Left Hand)





RH (Right Hand)





5. Ignition ON.

Does the LED (Light-emitting Diode) in question illuminate?








6. CHECK THE EXTERIOR MIRROR GLASS BLIS(R) / CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) LED (Light-emitting Diode) FOR AN OPEN

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Disconnect: Left Exterior Mirror BLIS(R) / CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) LED (Light-emitting Diode) C576 (LH (Left Hand) concern).

3. Disconnect: Right Exterior Mirror BLIS(R) / CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) LED (Light-emitting Diode) C676 (RH (Right Hand) concern).

4. Measure:
LH (Left Hand)





RH (Right Hand)





Is the resistance less than 2000 ohms?








7. CHECK THE EXTERIOR MIRROR BLIS(R) / CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) LED (Light-emitting Diode) SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

1. Measure:
LH (Left Hand)





RH (Right Hand)





Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?








8. CHECK THE EXTERIOR MIRROR FOR AN OPEN

1. Disconnect: Left Exterior Mirror C516 (LH (Left Hand) concern).

2. Disconnect: Right Exterior Mirror C601 (RH (Right Hand) concern).

3. Measure:
LH (Left Hand)








RH (Right Hand)








Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?








9. CHECK THE EXTERIOR MIRROR BLIS(R) / CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) LED (Light-emitting Diode) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

1. Measure:





Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?








10. CHECK THE EXTERIOR MIRROR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

1. Disconnect: Left Exterior Mirror C516 (LH (Left Hand) concern).

2. Disconnect: Right Exterior Mirror C601 (RH (Right Hand) concern).

3. Measure:
LH (Left Hand)





RH (Right Hand)





Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?








11. CHECK FOR CORRECT SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left) OPERATION

1. Disconnect and inspect the SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left) connector.

2. Repair:

- corrosion (install new connector or terminals- clean module pins)
- damaged pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

3. Reconnect the SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left) connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.

4. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?








12. CHECK FOR CORRECT SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right) OPERATION

1. Disconnect and inspect the SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right) connector.

2. Repair:

- corrosion (install new connector or terminals- clean module pins)
- damaged pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

3. Reconnect the SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right) connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.

4. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?
