POWER MIRROR CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This system has the following functions: electrical remote control mirror function, power retract mirror function, auto power retract mirror function and mirror heater function.
FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT
| Component | Function | |
|---|---|---|
| Outer rear view mirror assembly LH/RH | Vertical mirror motor | Receives signals from the outer mirror switch assembly and adjusts the mirror surface position vertically. |
| Horizontal mirror motor | Receives signals from the outer mirror switch assembly and adjusts the mirror surface position horizontally. | |
| Mirror heater | When the mirror heater switch (rear window defogger switch) on the air conditioning control assembly is operated, the air conditioning amplifier assembly detects the switch operation via LIN communication. The air conditioning amplifier assembly sends the operation signal to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via CAN communication and the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) turns on the MIR HTR relay to operate the mirror heater. | |
| Power retract mirror motor | Receives a signal from outer mirror switch assembly, and retracts and returns the outer rear view mirror assemblies. | |
| Outer mirror switch assembly | Mirror select switch | Consists of individual R and L switches. One must be selected to operate the mirror adjust switch. |
| Mirror adjust switch | After selecting the R or L switch, the right, left, up and down control switches can be operated to change the angle of the mirror surface. | |
| Retractable outer mirror switch | Built into the outer mirror switch assembly and sends the retractable outer mirror switch signal to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). | |
SYSTEM OPERATION
The power mirror control system has the following features:
| Function | Outline |
|---|---|
| Electrical remote control mirror function | When the outer mirror switch assembly is operated, this function moves the mirror surface vertically or horizontally to enable the driver to attain an optimal mirror angle. Turning the mirror select switch to the R position operates the right side mirror, and turning the mirror adjust switch to the L position operates the left side mirror. |
| Power retract mirror function | Retracts and returns the outer rear view mirror assemblies when the retractable outer mirror switch is operated. |
| Auto power retract mirror function | Retracts and returns each outer rear view mirror assembly together with the following operations while the retractable outer mirror switch is in auto retract position.
