2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE rear view mirror

DESCRIPTION - OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
An automatic dimming outside rear view mirror is
an available factory-installed option for the driver
side of the vehicle, if the vehicle is also equipped
with the automatic day/night inside rear view mirror.
The automatic dimming outside mirror is completely
controlled by the circuitry of the automatic day/night
inside rear view mirror. The automatic dimming out-
side mirror will automatically change the reflectance
of the driver side outside rear view mirror to protect
the driver from the unwanted headlight glare of
trailing vehicles while driving at night. The auto-
matic dimming outside mirror will only operate when
the ignition switch is in the On position.
The automatic dimming outside mirror sensitivity
cannot be repaired or adjusted. If any component of
this unit is faulty or damaged, the entire automatic
dimming outside mirror unit must be replaced. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW
MIRROR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring infor-
mation includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and
connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
OPERATION - REAR VIEW MIRROR
The automatic day/night mirror switch allows the
driver a manual control of whether the automatic
dimming feature is operational. This switch is a
momentary rocker-type switch located on the lower
rear-facing surface of the mirror housing. When Auto
is selected, a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) on the mir-
ror housing just to the right of the switch illuminates
to indicate that automatic day/night mirror is turned
on. When Off is selected, the LED is turned off. The
mirror also senses the backup lamp circuit, and will
automatically disable its self-dimming feature when-
ever the transmission gear selector is in the Reverse
position.
A thin layer of electrochromatic material between
two pieces of conductive glass make up the face of
the mirror. Two photocell sensors are used to monitor
light levels and adjust the reflectance of the mirror.
The ambient photocell sensor faces forward, to detect
the outside light levels. The headlamp sensor is
located on the mirror housing just to the left of the
switch and facing rearward, to detect the light level
received at the rear window side of the mirror. When
the difference between the two light levels becomes
too great (the light level received at the rear of themirror is much higher than that at the front of the
mirror), the mirror begins to darken.
On models with an optional driver side automatic
dimming outside mirror, the signal to control the
dimming of that mirror is generated by the auto-
matic day/night inside rear view mirror circuitry.
That signal is then delivered to the driver side out-
side rear view mirror on a hard wired circuit.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the automatic day/night mirror system.
OPERATION - OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
The automatic dimming outside mirror is operated
by the same controls and circuitry as the automatic
day/night mirror. When the automatic day/night mir-
ror is turned on or off, the automatic dimming out-
side mirror is likewise turned on or off. Like in the
automatic day/night mirror, a thin layer of electro-
chromatic material between two pieces of conductive
glass make up the face of the automatic dimming
outside mirror. However, the signal to control the
dimming of the outside mirror is generated by the
automatic day/night inside rear view mirror circuitry.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the automatic dimming outside mirror.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUTOMATIC DAY /
NIGHT MIRROR
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the overhead wire harness connector for the
automatic day/night mirror and a good ground. There
should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK,
repair the open ground circuit to ground as required.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Set
the parking brake. Place the transmission gear selec-
tor lever in the Reverse position. Check for battery
voltage at the backup lamp switch output circuit cav-
ity of the overhead wire harness connector for the
automatic day/night mirror. If OK, reconnect the
overhead wire harness connector to the automatic
day/night mirror connector receptacle and go to Step
6. If not OK, repair the open backup lamp switch
output circuit as required.
(6) Place the transmission gear selector lever in
the Neutral position. Place the automatic day/night
mirror switch in the Auto (LED next to the switch is
lighted) position (Fig. 1). Cover the forward facing
ambient photocell sensor to keep out any ambient
light.
NOTE: The ambient photocell sensor must be cov-
ered completely, so that no light reaches the sen-
sor. Use a finger pressed tightly against the sensor,
or cover the sensor completely with electrical tape.
(7) Shine a light into the rearward facing head-
lamp photocell sensor. The automatic day/night mir-
ror should darken. If OK, go to Step 8. If not OK,
replace the faulty automatic day/night mirror unit.
(8) With the mirror darkened, place the transmis-
sion gear selector lever in the Reverse position. The
automatic day/night mirror should return to its nor-
mal reflectance. If not OK, replace the faulty auto-
matic day/night mirror unit.POWER FOLD-AWAY MIRROR -
EXPORT
DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles are equipped with Power Fold-Away
Side View Mirrors. This feature allows both the
driver and passenger side view mirrors to fold
inward (retract) on demand. This feature is con-
trolled by an additional switch located on the power
mirror switch.
The fold-away side view mirror is attached to the
vehicle's door in the same manner as mirrors without
the fold-away option. The fold-away mirrors unique
option is the internal motor which allows the mirrors
to fold inward on demand. the fold-away mirror
motor is not serviceable separately, and if a motor is
found to be faulty the entire side view mirror must
be replaced.
OPERATION
When the mirror retract switch is depressed, both
of the side view mirrors will fold inward, thus mak-
ing the overall width of the vehicle the smallest pos-
sible. This can be very helpful where parking space is
an absolute minimum.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER
FOLD-AWAY MIRROR - EXPORT
The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to
diagnose the power mirror system requires the use of
a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual. The DRB scan tool can provide confir-
mation that the PCI data bus is functional, that all
of the electronic modules are sending and receiving
the proper messages on the PCI data bus, that the
power mirror motors are being sent the proper hard
wired outputs, and that the mirror position potenti-
ometers are returning the proper outputs to the door
modules for them to perform their power mirror sys-
tem functions.
REMOVAL
The fold-away mirror motor is not serviceable sep-
arately, and if a motor is found to be faulty the entire
side view mirror must be replaced. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIR-
ROR - REMOVAL).

POWER MIRROR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Both the right and left power outside mirrors are
controlled by a single multi-function switch unit
located on the driver side front door trim panel. The
power mirror switch unit includes a three-position
rocker selector switch and four momentary direc-
tional push button switches.
The power mirror switch unit is integral to the
Driver Door Module (DDM). The power mirror switch
cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if faulty or dam-
aged, the entire DDM unit must be replaced. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
MODULES/DRIVER DOOR MODULE - REMOVAL)
for the DDM service procedures.
OPERATION
The power mirror selector switch is moved right
(right mirror control), left (left mirror control), or
center to turn the power outside mirror system off.
When the selector switch is in the right mirror con-
trol or left mirror control position, one of the four
directional control buttons is depressed to control
movement of the selected mirror up, down, right, or
left. When the selector switch is in the Off position,
depressing any of the directional switches will not
change either mirror position.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the power mirror switches.
SIDEVIEW MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
Mechanically folding, power operated outside rear
view mirrors are standard equipment on this model.
Each power mirror housing contains two electric
motors, two drive mechanisms, an electric heating
grid, the mirror glass case and the mirror glass. One
motor and drive controls mirror up-and-down (verti-
cal) movement, and the other controls right-and-left
(horizontal) movement. If the vehicle is equipped
with the optional memory system, each mirror head
also contains two position potentiometers. One posi-
tion potentiometer monitors the vertical mirror
motor, and the other monitors the horizontal mirror
motor.
An optional driver side automatic dimming mirror
is able to automatically change its reflectance level.
This mirror is controlled by the circuitry of the auto-
matic day/night inside rear view mirror. A thin layer
of electrochromic material between two pieces of con-
ductive glass make up the face of the mirror. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/AUTO-MATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR - DESCRIPTION) for
more information on this feature.
The power mirror unit cannot be repaired. Only
the mirror glass and glass case are serviced sepa-
rately. The replacement mirror glass is supplied with
an instruction sheet that details the recommended
replacement procedure. If any other component of the
power mirror unit is faulty or damaged, the entire
power mirror unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
Each of the two outside power mirrors includes two
reversible electric motors that are secured within the
power mirror housing. Each motor moves the mirror
case and glass through an integral drive unit. When
a power mirror motor is supplied with battery cur-
rent and ground, it moves the mirror case and glass
through its drive unit in one direction. When the bat-
tery current and ground feeds to the motor are
reversed, it moves the mirror case and glass in the
opposite direction.
The power mirrors are equipped with a standard
equipment electric heating grid that is applied to the
back of each outside rear view mirror glass. When an
electrical current is passed through the resistor wire
of the heating grid, it warms the mirror glass. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED MIRRORS -
DESCRIPTION) for more information on the opera-
tion of the heated mirrors and the rear window
defogger system.
If the driver side mirror is equipped with the auto-
matic dimming outside mirror option, two photocell
sensors on the inside rear view mirror are used to
monitor light levels and adjust the reflectance of both
the inside and driver side outside mirrors. This
change in reflectance helps to reduce the glare of
headlamps approaching the vehicle from the rear.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/AU-
TOMATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR - OPERATION)
for more information on this feature.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional mem-
ory system, the Driver Door Module (DDM) and the
Passenger Door Module (PDM) store the mirror posi-
tion information as monitored through the mirror
motor position potentiometers. When the memory
system requests a recall of the stored mirror position,
the DDM and the PDM are able to duplicate the
stored mirror positions by moving the mirror motors
until the potentiometer readings match the stored
values.

several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout
the vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the front wiper and
washer system components through the use of a com-
bination of soldered splices, splice block connectors,
and many different types of wire harness terminal
connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, further details on wire harness routing
and retention, as well as pin-out and location views
for the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.

tem are designed to work in concert to provide the
following operating modes:
²Automatic Wiper- In models equipped with
the optional automatic wiper feature, the internal
circuitry of both the right (wiper) multi-function
switch, the rain sensor module, and the BCM work
in concert to provide an automatic wiper mode with
five sensitivity selections. The BCM tells the Rain
Sensor Module (RSM) when the automatic wiper
mode is selected and the manually selected sensitiv-
ity level, then the rain sensor module tells the BCM
each time enough water droplets have accumulated
within the wipe pattern on the windshield to require
front wiper operation. The BCM then automatically

RAIN SENSOR MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Rain Sensor Module (RSM) is the primary
component of the automatic wiper system (Fig. 14).
The RSM is located on the inside of the windshield,
between the rear view mirror mounting button and
the windshield header and is concealed behind a
molded plastic trim cover that snaps over the modulehousing. The triangular-shaped molded black plastic
housing of the RSM has a rectangular opening
located on the upper end of the housing for the mod-
ule connector receptacle, which contains four termi-
nal pins. These terminal pins connect the rain sensor
to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the overhead wire harness
that extends from above the headliner. Five openings
on the windshield side of the RSM housing are fitted
with eight convex clear plastic lenses. A metal spring
clip on each side of the housing near the bottom
secures the RSM to a plastic mounting bracket that
is bonded to the windshield glass. Concealed within
the RSM housing is the electronic circuitry of the
module, which includes four InfraRed (IR) diodes,
two photocells, and a microprocessor.
The RSM software is Flash compatible, which
means it can be reprogrammed using Flash repro-
gramming procedures. However, if any of the hard-
ware of the RSM is damaged or faulty, the entire
module must be replaced. The RSM bracket is ser-
viced as a unit with the windshield glass. If the
bracket is faulty, damaged, or separated from the
windshield glass, the windshield unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor-based Rain Sensor Module
(RSM) senses moisture in the wipe pattern on the
outside of the windshield glass and sends wipe com-
mands to the Body Control Module (BCM). Four
InfraRed (IR) diodes within the RSM generate IR
light beams that are aimed by four of the convex
optical lenses near the base of the module through
the windshield glass. Four additional convex optical
lenses near the top of the RSM are focused on the IR
light beams on the outside of the windshield glass
and allow the two photocells within the module to
sense changes in the intensity of these IR light
beams. When sufficient moisture accumulates within
the wipe pattern of the windshield glass, the RSM
detects a change in the monitored IR light beam
intensity.
The internal programming of the RSM then sends
the appropriate electronic wipe command messages
to the BCM over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus. The BCM responds by acti-
vating or deactivating the front wiper system. The
BCM also sends electronic sensitivity level messages
to the RSM over the PCI data bus based upon the
driver-selected sensitivity setting of the control knob
on the control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-func-
tion switch. The higher the selected sensitivity set-
ting the more sensitive the RSM is to the
accumulated moisture on the windshield glass, and

the more frequently the RSM will send wipe com-
mands to the BCM to operate the front wiper system.
The RSM operates on battery current received
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) on a fused
B(+) circuit. This circuit is switched by the power
accessory (sunroof) delay relay in the JB so that the
RSM will operate whenever the relay is energized by
the BCM. The RSM receives ground at all times
through a take out of the left body wire harness with
an eyelet terminal that is secured by a ground screw
to the front seat crossmember on the floor panel
under the left front seat. It is important to note that
the default condition for the wiper system is auto-
matic wipers Off; therefore, if no message is received
from the RSM by the BCM for more than about five
seconds, the automatic wipers will be disabled and
the BCM will default the front wiper system opera-
tion to the low speed continuous wipe mode.
The RSM ground and battery current inputs can be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods. However, conventional diagnostic methods
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the RSM
internal circuitry, the BCM, the PCI data bus net-
work, or the electronic messages received and trans-
mitted by the RSM over the PCI data bus. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the RSM requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

RIGHT MULTI-FUNCTION
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch is secured
to the right side of the multi-function switch mount-
ing housing at the top of the steering column, just
below the steering wheel (Fig. 16). The only visible
component of the right multi-function switch is the
control stalk that extends through a dedicated open-
ing in the right side of the steering column shrouds.
The remainder of the right multi-function switch is
concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The
switch housing and its control stalk are constructed
of molded black plastic. A single connector receptacle
containing up to ten terminal pins is located on the
back of the switch housing and connects the switch
to the vehicle electrical system through a take out
and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The switch is secured to the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering col-
umn by two screws.
There are two versions of the right multi-function
switch: one to support the standard equipment speed
sensitive intermittent front wiper system, and a sec-
ond to support the optional front automatic wiper
system. Each version of the right multi-function
switch control stalk has both white nomenclature
and International Control and Display Symbol icons
applied to it, which clearly identify its many func-
tions. The control stalk has a control knob on its end
with a flattened face to allow it to be easily rotated.
Just below the control knob is a knurled control
sleeve. The right multi-function switch is the primary
control for the front and rear wiper and washer sys-
tems, and contains switches and circuitry to provide
signals to the Body Control Module (BCM) and the
rear wiper module.
The right (wiper) multi-function switch cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is
faulty, or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch
unit must be replaced.
The right (wiper) multi-function switch supports
the following functions and features:
²Automatic Front Wipe Mode- On models
equipped with the optional automatic wiper system,
the internal circuitry and hardware of the right
(wiper) multi-function switch control knob provide an
automatic front wipe mode with five sensitivity posi-
tions.
²Continuous Front Wipe Modes- The internal
circuitry and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch control knob provide two continuous
front wipe switch positions, low speed or high speed.
