Roof Opening Panel
The roof opening panel consists of the following
- Air deflector
- Roof opening panel glass
- Roof opening panel motor
- Roof opening panel module
- Roof opening panel shield
- Roof opening panel switch (part of the overhead console)
- Roof opening panel drain hoses
The roof opening panel is an electronically operated panel that can be opened or closed by pressing a switch located on the overhead console. It also has a one-touch open feature.
The one-touch open feature is controlled by the roof opening panel module. When the switch is pressed and held for one second, the roof opening panel glass will open to the COMFORT position (approximately 100 mm (4 in) from the full open position). Pressing the switch a second time opens the roof opening panel glass to the full OPEN position.
The roof opening panel can be moved to the full CLOSED position by pushing the switch forward and holding it until the roof opening panel glass is fully closed. When the roof opening panel glass reaches the full CLOSED position, power is removed from the motor, which provides the soft stop feature.
When the roof opening panel glass is in the full CLOSED position, the rear portion can be raised to the VENT position to provide ventilation by pushing the switch forward. The roof opening panel glass can be closed by pushing the switch rearward.
Refer to POWER TOP/SUNROOF for Escape or POWER TOP/SUNROOF for Mariner for schematic and connector information.
Actuating the roof opening panel switch in the forward or rearward direction supplies a ground signal to the roof opening panel module. The roof opening panel module then supplies power and ground to the roof opening panel motor. The vent and soft stop functions are controlled by the roof opening panel module and an internal roof opening panel position switch within the roof opening panel motor. These positions are obtained when an internal motor cam opens the roof opening panel position switch that removes ground to the roof opening panel module.
