Inspect the wiring connectors behind the door panels for short circuits (09D1/09D0).
If the suspension is stuck in a low or high position, check the rear height sensor and its wiring.
It is frequently accompanied by code 09D0 , which represents the exact same fault but specifically isolates the passenger-side door mirror mechanism.

Many Citroën owners discover the 09D1 code during routine maintenance scans even though their side mirrors operate perfectly. If your vehicle lacks memory functions (where mirrors automatically reposition based on the key fob or a button on the seat), your mirrors do not possess position sensors.
In Citroën’s proprietary diagnostic ecosystem, code 09D1 (or F9D1) translates directly to a electronic sensor input issue:
Loss of the "index on reverse" feature. The mirror glass fails to accurately remember its preset positions when a driver switches ignition cycles or alternates user keys. Inspect the wiring connectors behind the door panels

For owners of modern diesel Citroëns, it's always a good practice to pay attention to your car's routine maintenance. Keeping on top of scheduled (regular highway driving) and ensuring your AdBlue® tank is topped up with a high-quality fluid like AdBlue® can prevent more serious and costly error codes from appearing in the future.
Generic scan tools will often misread or omit body codes. Utilize a to run a global diagnostic test. This will confirm if the fault resides on the driver side or passenger side and show if it is "Permanent" or "Intermittent".

Look for blue/green oxidation (corrosion) on the pins. Clean thoroughly with an electronic contact cleaner if residue is found. Step 3: Check Wiring Continuity
: If the mirrors work correctly but the code persists, technicians often use Lexia/Diagbox to "de-activate" the mirror position indexing function in the BSI (Built-in Systems Interface) or Door Module.
Understanding the Citroën 09D1 Fault Code: Symptoms, Causes, and Solutions
The most stressful element of the 09D1 code is the . Once the ECU detects an AdBlue fault, it gives you a limited mileage (e.g., 1,100 km or 680 miles). Every time you start the engine, the number drops. When it hits zero, you get a "NO START" condition. The starter will crank, but the ECU disables the injectors.
