B2310

Moderate

Mirror Driver Memory Position Error

What Does B2310 Mean?

This diagnostic trouble code indicates that the Body Control Module (BCM) has detected a fault in the driver's side power mirror memory position system. The memory feature, which stores and recalls preferred mirror positions linked to driver seat settings or key fob identification, has failed to save, retrieve, or execute the stored position correctly. This suggests a communication error, mechanical binding, actuator failure, or corrupted memory data within the mirror adjustment system.

Common Causes

35%

Faulty mirror actuator motor or position sensor providing incorrect feedback to BCM

Driver side mirror assembly
Mirror actuator motor
Position sensor

25%

Corrupted memory data in BCM or memory module requiring reprogramming or reset

Body Control Module

20%

Wiring harness damage, connector corrosion, or poor ground connection to driver mirror

Mirror wiring harness
Door harness connector
Ground connection

15%

Mechanical binding or obstruction preventing mirror from reaching stored position

Mirror glass
Mirror housing
Adjustment mechanism

5%

Low voltage or battery issues during memory recall operation

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Manually operate the driver mirror adjustment controls in all directions (up, down, left, right) and verify smooth operation without binding, unusual noise, or hesitation. Attempt to store and recall a memory position using the memory buttons to determine if function is completely non-operational or intermittent.

2

Step 2: Using a digital multimeter, test for proper voltage supply (typically 12V) and ground at the driver mirror connector with key on. Check for voltage changes on the motor control wires when adjusting the mirror position to confirm BCM is sending commands.

3

Step 3: Inspect the driver door wiring harness for damage, pinching, or wear at flex points between door and body. Remove mirror connector and inspect pins for corrosion, bent terminals, or moisture intrusion. Clean and apply dielectric grease if corrosion is present.

4

Step 4: Access BCM configuration using advanced scan tool functions and attempt to clear memory settings and re-initialize mirror memory system. Test memory store and recall functions after reset to verify if corrupted data was the issue.

5

Step 5: If all electrical tests pass, remove mirror assembly and inspect internal actuator motors and position sensors for mechanical wear, broken gears, or failed potentiometers. Replace mirror assembly if internal components are damaged.

6

Step 6: After repairs, clear the DTC, program new memory positions, and cycle through all memory recalls multiple times to confirm proper operation and verify code does not return.
