SMAX Wing Mirror indicator issue - help

Hi 

 

I need the hive mind here. I have a 2015 SMAX. The wing mirror indicators are not working both sides.  I have put Forscan on and got error codes - see picture. I have checked all the fuses and wiring in the door and all checks out. I can get a tiny voltage on the output from the door module that fluctuates between 0.1 and 0.5 v. I need these fixed for our MOT. Anyone any experience of this or where typical broken wires or problems are? All help greatly appreciated.

 

Just to add - I had the BCM checked out and fixed - so no issues there 

 

TIA

    On my simplistic level, the drivers door module has a short or open circuit -so that and wiring  (where it goes from body to door?) needs looking at?
    Powers, grounds and CAN (as you say both mirrors are not working) would be a start.

    Hey thanks for the reply.

     

    I have checked the powers and ground - as best I can- there is 12v coming to the door module. Not sure on the CAN checking. I agree - it does seem strange that both wing mirror indicators dont work

    It seems odd to me that a 2015 has "wing mirrors" perhaps if it had door mirrors things would work 🤣

    Why was the BCM repaired ?

    BCM had a couple of faults - reversing light and cruise control.

    I therefore suspect that the BCM still has at least one fault which is why the door mirror indicators are not working.

    I will investigate - would Forscan show it up?
