Qashqai Model: Mk.3 Qashqai - J12 (2021+) New Model

Post by kingo69 »

Hello, I am the owner of a Qashqai 2021. The car also has a function that the rear-view mirrors turn down when the reverse gear is selected. That stopped working. However, I have set it correctly so that the light on the left or right button on my door is on. What could be wrong. Thanks for any advice!

Welcome to the forum, and Merry Christmas

I’m still waiting for my J12 so, sadly, can’t help but I’m sure another J12 owner will be here soon.

A guess and looking at the electric mirrors system for J11a (circa 2016):

There is an UpWard/DownWard motor in each mirror unit. They are very simply wired up via the door mirror control switch. Couldn't be simpler.
There is a switch that the gear lever operates to switch on the reversing lamp. We might call that a microswitch of some type. Again..couldn't be simpler.

I suspect therefore that the microswitch mentioned could also drive both mirror motors at the Reversing selection.

J11a diagnostics does show an R signal available within IPDM. Displays the status of the transmission range switch (CVT) or reverse/neutral position
switch (M/T) judged by IPDM E/R. So shows activity of Reverse switching as would the Reversing lights.

Unless its a settings problem then it likely needs a fix under warranty.

Welcome to this forum.

I've only just seen your posting.

I've just posted this at another topic (click the up arrow to go to it):

In this case the manual DOESN'T state "(where fitted)" - here's the relevant section:

However it does appear to "where fitted" in this particular case as has been mentioned:

TEKNA+
IN ADDITION TO TEKNA

• Tilting mirrors reverse


It's interesting that you say it stopped working on your Tekna - since the Tekna in the UK doesn't come with this functionality. Where are you based may I ask?
