Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3: This step is used to determine the correct diagnostic path. The path depends on if the sunroof is inoperative and in the open position, or if the sunroof is inoperative and in the closed position.
  2. 4: This step tests the sunroof switch open switch.
  3. 7: This step tests the sunroof switch close switch.

1Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?Go to Step 2Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
2Attempt to operate the sunroof through its full range of functions in order to verify that the power sunroof inoperative fault is present. Does the power sunroof system operate normally?Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor ConnectionsGo to Step 3
3Is the sunroof in the fully closed position?Go to Step 4Go to Step 7
4Disconnect the sunroof switch. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire to the low reference circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector. Connect the other end of the 3-amp fused jumper wire to the sunroof switch open signal circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector, for 3 seconds. Did the sunroof open?Go to Step 17Go to Step 5
5Disconnect the 3-amp fused jumper wire. Measure the voltage from the sunroof switch open signal circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector to the low reference circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector. Does the voltage measure near the specified value?B+Go to Step 13Go to Step 6
6Measure the voltage from the sunroof switch open signal circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector to a good ground. Does the voltage measure near the specified value?B+Go to Step 14Go to Step 10
7Disconnect the sunroof switch. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire to the low reference circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector. Connect the other end of the 3-amp fused jumper wire to the sunroof switch close signal circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector, for 3 seconds. Did the sunroof close?Go to Step 17Go to Step 8
8Disconnect the 3-amp fused jumper wire. Measure the voltage from the sunroof switch close signal circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector to the low reference circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector. Does the voltage measure near the specified value?B+Go to Step 15Go to Step 9
9Measure the voltage from the sunroof switch close signal circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector to a good ground. Does the voltage measure near the specified value?B+Go to Step 14Go to Step 10
10Disconnect the sunroof motor harness connector. Measure the voltage from the battery positive voltage circuit of the sunroof motor harness connector to a good ground. Does the voltage measure near the specified value?B+Go to Step 11Go to Step 19
11Measure the voltage from the retained accessory power (RAP) supply voltage circuit of the sunroof motor harness connector to a good ground. Does the voltage measure near the specified value?B+Go to Step 12Go to Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Inoperative
12Turn OFF the ignition. Measure the resistance from the ground circuit of the sunroof motor harness connector to a good ground. Does the resistance measure less than or equal to the specified value?5 ohmsGo to Step 16Go to Step 20
13Test the sunroof switch close signal circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 23Go to Step 18
14Test the sunroof switch low reference circuit for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 23Go to Step 18
15Test the sunroof switch open signal circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 23Go to Step 18
16Test the appropriate sunroof switch signal circuit for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 23Go to Step 18
17Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the sunroof switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 23Go to Step 21
18Inspect for poor connections at the harness connectors of the sunroof motor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?Go to Step 23Go to Step 22
19Repair the short to ground or open in the sunroof motor battery positive voltage circuit. Refer to Wiring Repairs and Connector Repairs . Did you complete the repair?Go to Step 23
20Repair the open in the sunroof motor ground circuit. Refer to Wiring Repairs and Connector Repairs . Did you complete the repair?Go to Step 23
21Replace the sunroof switch. Refer to Sunroof Switch Replacement . Did you complete the replacement?Go to Step 23
22Replace the sunroof motor. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement?Go to Step 23
23Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you find and correct the condition?System OKGo to Step 2

Power Sunroof Inoperative

Perform the Initialization/Teach Process any time a new sunroof motor actuator is installed in the vehicle or any time an existing sunroof motor actuator is removed from the vehicle. Refer to Sunroof Motor/Actuator Initialization/Teach Process .

Parallel positioning of the window track guides or lift mechanism and cable is crucial to the proper function of the system. If the guides are misaligned, refer to Sunroof Track Timing/Synchronization .
