Mirrors: Description and Operation

Circuit Operation

Power Mirror System
Each outside mirror has two reversible motors. One motor adjusts the power mirror up and down, and the other motor adjusts the mirror right and left. The power mirror switch controls these motors by changing the polarity of the voltage to the motors. The power mirror switch also contains a mirror select switch, which directs the voltage to the LH or RH power mirror.

With the ignition switch in "ACC" or "ON" position, battery voltage is applied from "AUDIO (10 A)" fuse to the power mirror switch through the wire "BR/R". The power mirror switch is permanently grounded through the wire B". When the mirror select switch is in "LH" position, the mirror position switch will control the two motors in the LH outside mirror. When the UP switch is pressed, battery voltage is applied to the terminal 1 (G/R) of UP/DOWN motor of the LH power mirror by the UP switch of power mirror switch. Ground is provided the terminal 5 (R) of UP/DOWN motor of LH power mirror through the UP switch of the power mirror switch. The UP/DOWN motor in the LH power mirror will run and turn the LH power mirror up. When the DOWN switch is pressed, battery voltage is applied to the terminal 5 (R) of UP/DOWN motor of the LH power mirror through the DOWN switch of power mirror switch. Ground is provided the terminal 1 (G/R) of UP/DOWN motor in LH power mirror through the DOWN switch of power mirror switch.

Changing the polarity of voltage to the motor will cause the UP/DOWN motor to operate in the opposite direction and turn the LH power mirror down.

The LEFT/RIGHT motor of the LH power mirror operates in a similar way. When the mirror select switch in "RH" position, the RH power mirror is adjusted in same way according to the position of the power mirror switch.

Manual
Outside rearview mirror assembly is comprised of mirror glass, a mirror frame (which holds mirror glass), a motor, a wire harness, and garnish. Each outside rearview mirror can be adjusted in four directions from inside vehicle.


Power
Power mirror switch allows powered movement of outside rearview mirror position in horizontal and vertical direction. "R/L" switch selects mirror to be moved. Mirror movement switch allows four-way movement of selected mirror.
