Express Open

The express open will operate from the closed or partially open position. To express open the power sunroof, turn the ignition to RUN. Press the sunroof switch rearward once. This will apply the sunroof switch low reference to the sunroof switch open signal circuit. From the closed position, the sunroof motor/module assembly will control the motor to lower the rear of the sunroof glass slightly and then slide it rearward between the roof and the headliner, along with the sunshade. The wind deflector will raise upward. To stop the sunroof glass in a desired position other than to the express open position, press the sunroof switch, in either direction, to stop the movement.

To Close

To close the power sunroof, turn the ignition to RUN, and from the

1. Open position-press and hold the sunroof switch forward. This will apply the sunroof switch low reference to the sunroof switch close signal circuit. The sunroof motor/module assembly needs to have a constant switch press to allow the sunroof motor to drive the sunroof glass until it reaches the closed position. The wind deflector will retract prior to the glass reaching the fully closed position. To close the sunshade, this will have to be manually slid closed.
2. Vent position-press and hold the sunroof switch rearward. This will apply the sunroof switch low reference to the sunroof switch open signal circuit. The sunroof motor/module assembly needs to have a constant switch press to allow the sunroof motor to drive the rear of the sunroof glass down to the fully closed position.

To Vent Open

To open the power sunroof to the vent position from the closed position, turn the ignition to RUN. Press and hold the sunroof switch forward. This will apply the sunroof switch low reference to the sunroof switch close signal circuit. The sunroof motor/module assembly needs to have a constant switch press to allow the sunroof control module to control the sunroof motor to tilt the rear of the glass upward to the full vent position.

The sunroof motor/module assembly has a bi-directional motor. The sunroof motor understands when it has driven the sunroof glass to the vent, close and full open positions based on the hall effect sensors within the sunroof motor/module assembly. The sunroof motor/module assembly interprets the hall effect sensor combinations and controls the sunroof motor to soft stop the sunroof glass at the positions. After servicing sunroof system components which may effect the position of the glass panel to the seal in the closed position, the soft stop locations must be reset, refer to Sunroof Motor/Actuator Initialization/Teach Process .
