Refer to «ROOF OPENING PANEL - EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-255323-S00470665142007053000000) and «ROOF OPENING PANEL FRAME»(ref-255323-S27858187922007053000000) . TEST the system for normal operation. No: GO to D2 .
  2. D2 CHECK THE ROOF OPENING PANEL OPERATION Check the roof opening panel during operation. Is the roof opening panel loose or incorrectly adjusted? Yes: ADJUST the roof opening panel. Refer to «ROOF OPENING PANEL ALIGNMENT»(ref-255323-S22489091332007053000000) . TEST the system for normal operation. No: GO to D3 .
  3. D3 CHECK THE ROOF OPENING PANEL TRACKS Open the roof. Check the roof opening panel tracks for obstructions and damage. Are the roof opening panel tracks OK? Yes: GO to D4 . No: REMOVE all obstructions and REPAIR any damage. If the roof opening panel tracks cannot be repaired, INSTALL a new roof opening panel frame. Refer to «ROOF OPENING PANEL - EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-255323-S00470665142007053000000) and «ROOF OPENING PANEL FRAME»(ref-255323-S27858187922007053000000) . TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. D4 CHECK THE ROOF OPENING PANEL SHIELD (SUNSHADE) Check the roof opening panel shield for correct movement. Is the roof opening panel shield moving correctly? Yes: GO to D5 . No: REMOVE and REINSTALL the roof opening panel shield. Refer to «ROOF OPENING PANEL SHIELD»(ref-255323-S00178678242007053000000) . TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. D5 CHECK THE ROOF OPENING PANEL LIFTER ASSEMBLIES Check the roof opening panel lifter assemblies for obstructions and damage. Are the roof opening panel lifter assemblies OK? Yes: GO to D6 . No: REMOVE all obstructions and REPAIR any damage. If the roof opening panel lifter assemblies cannot be repaired, INSTALL a new roof opening panel frame. Refer to «ROOF OPENING PANEL - EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-255323-S00470665142007053000000) (Sunshade) and «ROOF OPENING PANEL FRAME»(ref-255323-S27858187922007053000000) . TEST the system for normal operation.
  6. D6 CHECK THE ROOF OPENING PANEL MOTOR/MODULE Remove the roof opening panel motor/module and leave the electrical connector connected. Operate the roof opening panel to the full OPEN and CLOSED position. Does the motor/module make excessive noise? Yes: INSTALL a new roof opening panel motor/module. Refer to «ROOF OPENING PANEL - EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-255323-S00470665142007053000000) and «ROOF OPENING PANEL MOTOR»(ref-255323-S16480788792007053000000) . TEST the system for normal operation. No: REINSTALL the roof opening panel motor/module. TEST the system for normal operation. If the roof opening panel is still noisy, INSTALL a new roof opening panel frame. «ROOF OPENING PANEL - EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-255323-S00470665142007053000000) and «ROOF OPENING PANEL FRAME»(ref-255323-S27858187922007053000000) . If the roof opening panel is no longer noisy, the system is operating correctly. The concern may have been caused by an incorrectly installed roof opening panel motor.

The roof opening panel uses a integrated motor and module to operate the roof opening panel. A new roof opening panel motor/module is installed as an assembly.

The roof opening panel motor/module receives voltage from the accessory delay relay through circuit 2086 (RD/LB) when the key is in the ACC or RUN position and voltage at all times through circuit 692 (RD). The roof opening panel motor/module provides ground to the roof opening panel switch through circuit 1173 (BN/OG). When the roof opening panel switch is pressed to the CLOSE position, a ground signal is sent to the roof opening panel motor/module through circuit 1175 (TN/RD), which causes the roof opening panel to close. When the roof opening panel switch is pressed to the OPEN position, a ground signal is sent to the roof opening panel motor/module through circuit 691 (DB), which causes the roof opening panel to open.

When the roof opening panel switch is pressed to the VENT position, a ground signal is sent to the roof opening panel motor/module through circuit 1174 (WH/RD), which causes the roof opening panel to open to the tilt position. When the roof opening panel switch is pressed to the CLOSE position, a ground signal is sent to the roof opening panel motor/module through circuit 1175 (TN/RD), which causes the roof opening panel to close.
