Pinpoint Test L: The Rear Video Mirror Display Is Always On (Vehicles Without Navigation)

Normal Operation

The video camera receives a supply voltage, with the ignition switch in the RUN position. When the gear selector is in the REVERSE (R) position, a reverse voltage signal is sent to the auto-dimming interior mirror supplying power to the display in the mirror. The video camera signal is sent to the auto-dimming interior mirror. The video signal from the video camera displays an image on the LH side of the auto-dimming interior mirror.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Auto-dimming interior mirror
