3. Sunroof glass, tilt/slide style, with glass sliding between the headliner and roof
4. Sunshade
5. Rail and track assembly upon which the sunroof glass rides
6. Power supply for the sunroof motor/module assembly: SUNROOF 20-amp fuse for motor operation Sunroof module logic circuitry: Short wheelbase and Envoy XUV-Retained accessory power (RAP) supply voltage is supplied and controlled directly from the body control module (BCM) for the RAP function. Long wheelbase-VENT WDO 20-amp fuse supplies the voltage through the RAP relay, that is controlled by the BCM, for the RAP function.
7. Ground from G306

The sunroof motor/module assembly has 2 power circuits battery positive voltage and the retained accessory power (RAP) supply voltage circuit. The Sunroof 20-amp fuse is hot at all times suppling the battery positive voltage circuit for the operation of the sunroof motor. The RAP supply voltage circuit is for the sunroof module logic circuitry and is controlled from, or by the body control module (BCM), depending on the wiring configuration. The power sunroof will operate with the ignition switch turned to Accessory or RUN suppling RAP supply voltage. Once the ignition switch is turned to OFF the sunroof will continue to operate until any door is open or when the RAP has timed out. For a description and operation of the RAP operation, refer to Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Description and Operation .
