Rear View Mirrors - System Operation and Component Description — 2016 workshop reference 903

The DDM sends the RH exterior mirror movement request to the PDM through the MS-CAN.

PDM

On vehicles equipped with the memory mirrors feature, the PDM is responsible for supplying voltage and ground to the RH exterior mirror motors, RH exterior mirror motor sensors and RH exterior mirror glass heating element.

Interior Rear View Mirror - Manual-Dimming

The manual dimming interior rear view mirror has a lever at the back of the mirror that must be pulled forward or pushed rearward by the driver to activate the manual dimming function. Manual dimming is completely controlled by the driver.

Interior Rear View Mirror - Auto-Dimming

The auto-dimming rear view mirror has 2 photoelectric sensors, one on the front of the mirror (facing the windshield) and one on the rear of the mirror (at the top of the mirror glass). Based on inputs from these sensors, the automatic dimming feature adjusts the reflectance level of the interior rear view mirror glass to eliminate unwanted glare. The reflectance level of the mirror glass is variable and depends on the amount of rear glare in relation to ambient light conditions in front of the interior mirror.
