PN: J201SVC000
Ensure the VIN matches the work order, the vehicle due date is in the lock period, and verify there are no “Holds” on the vehicle for any reason.
Verify the vehicle calls for the accessory installation.
Note: The accessory Interior A/D Compass Mirror or Home Link Mirror installation is required for the exterior A/D Approach Mirrors to fully function as designed.
Inspect the Exterior A/D Approach Mirror Kit for defects, damage, or missing items.
Required Tools and Supplies:
– ¼” Drive Ratchet w/ 6” extension
– 10mm socket
– ¼” Drive Torque Wrench (In. Lbs.)
– Clean Towels
– Window cleaner (optional)
– 99% Rubbing alcohol
– Paint marker
– Masking Tape
– Mirror Grease
– Flux brush
– Clean Towels
– Plastic Trim Tool
– Vehicle Painted Parts Protection
1) Open the hood and use the prop rod to hold the hood in the open position.
2) Place protection over the LS Fender
3) While holding the battery sensor in place with one hand, use a ¼” drive ratchet and 10mm socket to remove the negative battery cable from the negative battery stud. Do not remove negative cable from the battery post.
4) Position / protect the negative cable so it cannot accidentally touch body ground or the negative battery terminal and Allow (60) seconds before the next installation step to ensure the airbag power supply is discharged.
While disconnecting the negative battery cable from the stud, hold the battery sensor in place with one hand while loosening the 10mm hex nut that secures the cable to the sensor. This will help support the sensor to prevent damage and prevent the assembly from rotating on the battery post causing a poor connection.
Prepare the Exterior Mirror Housings
Using masking tape, apply tape to the top and the bottom of the LH and RH mirror housing to prevent scratching or chipping the plastic housing surfaces.
Remove OE Mirror Glass
Remove the OE exterior mirror glass assembly from the LH and RH mirror housing by firmly gripping the bottom of the mirror glass and pulling out with moderate force. If the mirror glass is heated carefully remove the heater circuit connectors from the glass assembly. Dispose / recycle the exterior mirrors.
Locate Exterior Approach Wiring Harness
1. Locate and carefully pull the OE mirror harness connector, in order to expose the mirror connector. DO NOT USE ANY TOOL OR INSTRUMENT TO EXPOSE THE MIRROR CONNECTOR.
2. Clean away the excess foam still affixed to the mirror housing and the pre-arranged connector.
3. Carefully remove and dispose/recycle the white prearranged connector mate from the prearranged connectors.
Carefully pull out the OE mirror wiring harness. Do not pull the wires out of the connectors because permanent connector damage will result. Use no tools!
Exterior Approach Installation
1. Install the friction damper spring to the slot at the top of the A/D Approach Light mirror assembly for RH & LH mirrors
2. Apply mirror grease to the slot located in the RH & LH mirror housings. Clean off all surfaces of excess grease if accidentally applied to areas surrounding the target area.
Do not get grease on the backing plate.
Wipe off all excess grease. Do not get grease on the backing plate.
Exterior Approach Installation
1. Connect the OE harness (white) 2-pin connector into the corresponding mirror (white) 2-pin harness connector.
2. Route the orange and blue wires through the (2) one-way clips.
3. Connect the OE harness (black) 2-pin connector into the corresponding mirror (black) 2-pin harness connector.
4. Route the yellow and green wires through the one-way clip.
5. Ensure both connectors are secured in place in their corresponding mirror clips.
Confirm proper electrical connections with the push-pull method on both connectors.
Exterior Approach Installation Volcano Clip Best Practice
1. To easy the routing of the orange and light blue wires through the volcano clip, rotate the mirror bottom up so the harness wires have more length.
2. Use your fingers to seat the light blue and orange wires into the volcano clip.
3. Ensure both wires are securely in place in the volcano clip.
4. Rotate the mirror back in proper position to complete the installation.
Confirm proper electrical connections with the push-pull method.
Re-connect the OE heater circuit wires.
Ensure the heater connectors are fully seated onto terminals.
Exterior Approach Installation
1. Install the A/D Approach mirror by aligning the mirror clips with the exterior mirror Hexagonal (Stop Sign) white plastic backing plate housing.
The A/D Approach mirror glass assembly has (4) clips that open to clip onto the (4) clip holders located on the Hexagonal (Stop Sign) white plastic housing.
2. Install the mirror carefully, ensuring the friction damper fits into the large slot, not the small slot above the large slot. Firmly press the mirror in place.
You will feel all (4) clips engage.
(Ensure the exterior mirror wires are not twisted during the installation.)
➢ Repeat process on opposite side
TIP: Pressing from the center using the palm of your hand may help to install the mirror to the backing plate.
Ensure the friction damper spring is inserted in the large slot.
If installed in the smaller slot the mirror movement will be restricted.
Ensure the wiring is not pinched between mirror glass & backing plate or overlapping on the areas where the mirror glass is installed on the backing plate to prevent pinching wires and potential wiring damage.
Ensure the friction damper spring is inserted in the large slot. If installed in the smaller slot the mirror movement will be restricted.
1) Re-connect the negative cable by reinstalling the saved 10mm nut on the stud. Use a ¼” drive torque wrench and a 10mm socket, tighten the cable nut to 66 In.
Lbs. while holding the sensor to prevent damage and prevent the assembly from rotating on the battery post.
2) Torque Mark the battery stud.
3) Remove protection. Carefully disconnect the hood opening prop rod and store the rod back into position under the hood and close the hood.
While connecting the negative battery cable to the stud, hold the battery sensor in place with one hand while torqueing the 10mm hex nut that secures the cable to the sensor. This will help support the sensor to prevent damage and prevent the assembly from rotating on the battery post causing a poor connection.
Torque mark the battery stud
