    CHECKING MIRROR SENSOR With CONSULT-II

    Monitor item [OPERATION or UNIT] Contents
    TILT SW-UP "ON/OFF" (ON/OFF) status judged from the tilt switch (UP) signal is displayed.
    TILT SW-DOWN "ON/OFF" (ON/OFF) status judged from the tilt switch (DOWN) signal is displayed.

    Without CONSULT-II 

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Check voltage between automatic drive positioner control unit connector and ground.

      TERMINAL VOLTAGE

      Connector Terminals (Wire color) Condition Voltage (V) (Approx.)
      (+) (-)
      M49 1 (LG/R) Ground Tilt switch ON (UP operation) 0
      Tilt switch OFF 5
      17(R/B) Tilt switch ON (DOWN operation) 0
      Tilt switch OFF 5

    OK or NG

    1. OK: Tilt switch circuit is OK.
    2. NG: GO TO 2.
  2. CHECK TILT SWITCH CIRCUIT HARNESS CONTINUITY 
    1. Disconnect automatic drive positioner control unit connector and ADP steering switch connector.
    2. Check continuity between automatic drive positioner control unit connector M49 terminals 1 (LG/R), 17 (R/B) and ADP steering switch connector M13 terminals 2 (LG/R), 3 (R/B).

      1 (LG/R) - 2 (LG/R): Continuity should exist. 

      17 (R/B) - 3 (R/B): Continuity should exist. 

    3. Check continuity between automatic drive positioner control unit connector M49 terminals 1 (LG/R), 17 (R/B) and ground.

      1 (LG/R) - Ground: Continuity should not exist. 

      17 (R/B) - Ground: Continuity should not exist. 

    OK or NG

    1. OK: GO TO 3.
    2. NG: Repair or replace harness between automatic drive positioner control unit and ADP steering switch.
  3. CHECK ADP TILT STEERING SWITCH 

    Check continuity between ADP steering switch.

    TERMINAL CONTINUITY

    Connector Terminals (Wire color) Condition Continuity
    (+) (-)
    M13 2 (LG/R) 1 (B) Tilt switch ON (UP operation) Yes
    Tilt switch OFF No
    3 (R/B) Tilt switch ON (DOWN operation) Yes
    Tilt switch OFF No

    OK or NG

    1. OK: GO TO 6.
    2. NG: Replace ADP steering switch.
  4. CHECK ADP STEERING SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT 

    Check continuity between ADP steering switch connector M13 terminal 1 (B) and ground.

    1 (B) - Ground: Continuity should exist.
