Causes
- Blown fuse or fusible link supplying mirror/switch module
- Poor or corroded ground at mirror or control module
- Open or high-resistance wiring in the reference supply circuit
- Corroded or loose connector contacts at the mirror switch or module
- Failed mirror control switch or mirror control module
- Body control module (BCM) or instrument panel control (IPC) short/failure
Symptoms
- Exterior/interior mirror adjustment inoperative or intermittent
- Mirror heating/de-icing or folding not functioning (if integrated)
- Illumination/indicators on mirror switch dim or off
- Multiple mirror-related features fail simultaneously
- Related body electrical faults or multiple related codes stored
What to check
- Read stored and pending codes, note freeze-frame and key-on status
- Visual inspection of fuses, relays and mirror wiring harnesses for damage or corrosion
- Backprobe the mirror switch reference pin and measure voltage with ignition ON
- Check battery voltage and vehicle charging system to rule out low system voltage
- Verify solid ground at mirror and control module (measure resistance to battery negative)
- Wiggle test wiring/connectors while monitoring voltage and scanner data
Signal parameters
- Mirror switch reference (positive common) expected ≈ 4.8–5.2 V with ignition/accessory ON (if 5V logic reference used)
- Vehicle supply/power rail ≈ 11–14.5 V with engine off/ON respectively
- Ground continuity: < 1 Ω from mirror ground to battery negative
- Reference supply should remain stable under light load; large drop indicates short/high resistance
- Open-circuit, short-to-ground or short-to-B+ will alter the above values
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a scan tool, record B2347 and any related codes; clear codes and see if B2347 returns.
- Verify vehicle battery voltage and charging system. Low system voltage can cause false low-reference detections.
- Locate mirror switch and wiring diagram to identify the reference supply pin. Inspect fuses/relays that supply that circuit.
- With ignition ON, backprobe the mirror switch reference pin and measure voltage to ground. Compare to expected reference (~5 V) and battery voltage.
- If reference voltage is low or absent, trace wiring toward the module/BCM: inspect connectors for corrosion, bent pins, or water intrusion; perform wiggle tests while monitoring voltage.
- Check continuity/resistance of the reference wire between switch and supplying module; repair any high-resistance/open circuits.
- Verify ground integrity at the mirror and module; clean and tighten ground connections if needed.
- If wiring and grounds are good and reference still low, substitute a known-good mirror switch (if available) or bench-test the mirror switch to isolate the failure.
- If switch tests good, suspect the supplying module (BCM/IPC). Verify with module output tests per manufacturer procedures and consider module programming or replacement if confirmed.
- After repairs, clear codes and confirm normal operation through multiple key cycles and function checks.
Likely causes
- Blown fuse or lost ignition/switched power to mirror circuit
- Damaged or disconnected reference supply wire to mirror switch
- Corroded/loose connector or pin at switch or mirror harness
- Defective mirror control switch or internal short in mirror module
- Faulty BCM/IPC supplying the reference voltage (less common)
Fault status
