DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

For a detailed description of the Blindspot Monitoring system and operation, refer to the relevant Description
and Operation sections in the workshop manual. REFER to: (413-09A Warning Devices)

Blindspot Monitoring System (Description and Operation),

INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION

Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does
not guarantee confirmation of a fault, and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and
/or the donor vehicle.

1. Verify the customer concern.

1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of damage and system integrity.

NOTE:

Particular attention should be paid to the following items where DTCs may not be logged:
Check for contamination (e.g. dirt, grime, frosting, ice) around the blindspot monitoring sensors and
clear.

Visual Inspection

MECHANICAL ELECTRICAL

Exterior rear view mirror glass Fuse(s)

Mud or sleet contamination around rear bumper area Relay(s)

Blindspot Monitoring Modules Wiring Harness

Electrical connector(s)
 Blindspot Monitoring Modules

1. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before
proceeding to the next step.

1. If the cause is not visually evident verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart, alternatively
check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and refer to the DTC Index.
