Electro Chromic Mirror System: Inspection

  1. INSPECT ELECTRO CHROMIC INNER MIRROR OPERATION 
    1. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 4.
    2. Connect the positive (+) lead from the voltmeter to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 3.
    3. Attach a black colored tape to forward sensor to prevent it from sensing.
    4. When the mode is turned to AUTO, check that indicator light lights up.
    5. Light up the mirror with an electric light, and check that there is battery positive voltage and mirror surface changes "bright" to "dark".

    If operation is not as specified, replace the inner mirror.
