Crew Cab Sunroof Switch Test

  1. Disconnect the sunroof switch connector.
  2. Verify less than 1 ohm of resistance from the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If the resistance is greater than the specified value, repair the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition on, connect a fused jumper wire from the ground circuit terminal 5 in the harness connector to the open signal circuit terminal 6 and verify that the sunroof opens.
    • If the sunroof does not open perform the Sunroof Motor/Actuator Circuit Test.
  4. Connect a fused jumper wire from the ground circuit terminal 5 to the close signal circuit terminal 4 and verify that the sunroof closes.
    • If the sunroof does not close perform the Sunroof Motor/Actuator Circuit Test.
  5. Connect a fused jumper wire from the ground circuit terminal 5 to the vent open signal circuit terminal 2 and verify that the sunroof vent opens.
    • If the sunroof does not vent open perform the Sunroof Motor/Actuator Circuit Test.
  6. Connect a fused jumper wire from the ground circuit terminal 5 to the vent close signal circuit terminal 8 and verify that the sunroof vent closes.
    • If the sunroof does not vent close perform the Sunroof Motor/Actuator Circuit Test.
  7. Connect a fused jumper wires from the ground circuit terminal 5 to the express signal circuit terminal 1 the open signal circuit terminal 6 and verify that the sunroof express opens.
    • If the sunroof does not express open perform the Sunroof Motor/Actuator Circuit Test.
  8. Connect a fused jumper wires from the ground circuit terminal 5 to the express signal circuit terminal 1 the close signal circuit terminal 4 and verify that the sunroof express closes.
    • If the sunroof does not express close perform the Sunroof Motor/Actuator Circuit Test.
  9. If the circuits test normal replace the sunroof switch.

Extended Cab Sunroof Switch Circuit Test

  1. Disconnect the sunroof switch connector.
  2. Verify less than 1 ohm of resistance from the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If the resistance is greater than the specified value, repair the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition on, connect a fused jumper wire from the ground circuit terminal 5 in the harness connector to the open signal circuit terminal 6 and verify that the sunroof opens.
    • If the sunroof does not open perform the Sunroof Motor/Actuator Circuit Test.
  4. Connect a fused jumper wire from the ground circuit terminal 5 to the close signal circuit terminal 4 and verify that the sunroof closes.
    • If the sunroof does not close perform the Sunroof Motor/Actuator Circuit Test.
  5. Connect a fused jumper wires from the ground circuit terminal 5 to the express signal circuit terminal 1 the open signal circuit terminal 6 and verify that the sunroof express opens.
    • If the sunroof does not express close perform the Sunroof Motor/Actuator Circuit Test.
  6. If the circuits test normal replace the sunroof switch.

Sunroof Motor/Actuator Circuit Test

  1. Disconnect the sunroof motor/actuator connector.
  2. Verify less than 1 ohm of resistance from the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If the resistance is greater than the specified value, repair the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Connect a test lamp from the ground circuit terminal 1 to the battery supply circuit terminal 6 and verify that the test lamp illuminates.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the battery supply circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground.
  4. Ignition on, connect a test lamp from the ground circuit terminal 1 to the ignition supply circuit terminal 6 and verify that the test lamp illuminates.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the ignition supply circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground.
  5. Connect the sunroof motor/actuator connector and disconnect the sunroof switch connector.
  6. Ignition on, verify that battery voltage is present at each of the switch signal circuit terminals in the switch harness connector.
    • If battery voltage is not present at all of the signal circuits, test the affected signal circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal replace the sunroof motor/actuator.
  7. If the circuit tests normal replace the sunroof motor/actuator.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
