Default Deciphering driver's mirror cabling... please help

I'm attaching a page from the GX470's wiring diagram. It shows the Outer Rear View Mirror Assembly connecting to its ECU with the connector carrying 9 cable signals

MR+
MR-
LMVR
LM+R
LMHR
VSSR
LE1
HSSR
LVC

Does someone know what each of the abbreviations stand for?

Very very gratefull for any light you can shed on this !

Thank you,

Nikolas

This does not look to me GX470 wiring diagram. Can you tell me if somebody has given to you, as GX has only one Mirror ECU controlling both sides.

Got it from techinfo.toyota.com. If I remember correctly, there was a wiring diagram from '05 onwards. Could this have changed from tht model year onwards? I expect the markings would still apply, no?

ok maybe the 2005 onwards had a dual ECU for the mirrors. I am not aware of that. The codes which you have mentioned abbreviation in general, but they are color coded to connect the ECU ,Mirror Tilt Motor. But i do know the three codes in those that is MR+ = Mirror Positive Wire , MR - = Mirror Negative Wire and LMHR = Left Mirror Heater Wire.
