Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Initialization/Teach Procedure
Step 1 - Fully close the sunroof glass by holding down the close switch. Once in the closed position, release the switch. Now press the switch again and continue to hold. The glass will go through a teach/learn cycle and begin to move. Continue to hold the switch until the glass returns to a fully closed position.
Step 2 - Fully close the sunroof sunshade by holding down the close switch. Once in the closed position, release the switch. Now press the switch again and continue to hold. The sunshade will go through a teach/learn cycle and begin to move. Continue to hold the switch until the sunshade returns to a fully closed position.
Please note that if the switch is held for more than 10 seconds after the glass or sunshade has completed its teach/learn cycle, the sunroof can throw a 'stuck switch' fault code. If this happens repeat the 2 steps above.
