    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  3. I3 CHECK FOR CORRECT IPM-A OPERATION

    • Disconnect and inspect the interior auto-dimming mirror and camera windshield defroster heater connectors.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (replace connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - replace terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - replace pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the interior auto-dimming mirror and camera windshield defrost heater connectors. Make sure the connectors seat and latch correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, discontinue this test and follow TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new Image Processing Module - A (IPM-A). Refer to Interior Rear View Mirror .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
