B2324

Moderate

Mirror Driver Vertical Feedback Potentiometer Circuit Failure

What Does B2324 Mean?

This code indicates the Body Control Module (BCM) has detected a fault in the feedback circuit for the driver's side mirror vertical adjustment potentiometer. The potentiometer provides position feedback to the BCM during mirror adjustment, and the module has detected an abnormal voltage, open circuit, short circuit, or loss of signal from this sensor. This prevents proper vertical adjustment of the driver's side mirror.

Common Causes

40%

Failed or worn mirror vertical adjustment potentiometer internal to the mirror assembly

Mirror assembly
Vertical position potentiometer

30%

Damaged, corroded, or loose wiring and connectors between mirror and BCM

Mirror harness
Mirror connector
Wiring to BCM

20%

Water intrusion or corrosion inside mirror housing damaging potentiometer circuit

Mirror assembly
Mirror seal
Potentiometer

10%

Faulty Body Control Module (BCM) mirror control circuit or internal power supply issue

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Perform visual inspection of driver's side mirror assembly for physical damage, water intrusion, or signs of corrosion. Check mirror connector at door for corrosion, bent pins, or looseness.

2

Step 2: Using a digital multimeter, backprobe the potentiometer feedback wire at the mirror connector (typically 5V reference, ground, and signal wire). With ignition on, measure reference voltage (should be approximately 5V) and ground continuity (less than 1 ohm).

3

Step 3: Monitor potentiometer signal voltage while manually moving mirror vertically through full range of motion. Signal should sweep smoothly from approximately 0.5V to 4.5V. Erratic readings, no change, or out-of-range voltage indicates potentiometer failure.

4

Step 4: If voltage readings are correct at mirror, check continuity and resistance of mirror harness from mirror connector through door jamb to BCM connector. Look for opens, shorts to ground, or resistance above 5 ohms indicating damaged wiring.

5

Step 5: If all wiring and voltages test normal, suspect internal BCM fault. Test mirror motor operation in both directions to confirm motor function, then consider BCM replacement or mirror assembly replacement based on test results.

6

Step 6: After repair, clear codes, cycle mirror through full vertical range multiple times, and verify code does not return. Test mirror memory function if equipped.
