SUNROOF CONTROL MODULE PROGRAMMING AND SETUP (WITH RPO CODE C3Y)
SUNROOF MOTOR/ACTUATOR
The sunroof motor/actuator uses sensor inputs to continuously monitor the location of the glass panels and to establish soft stop locations several millimeters ahead of the hard stops (physical limits) of the glass panels. The sunroof motor/actuator includes the sunroof motor, actuator, sensors and the control module. These components are not serviced individually.
SUNROOF MOTOR/ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT
If the sunroof motor/actuator is replaced, the initialization procedure must be performed in the following order:
1. Place the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Press and hold the sunshade switch to the CLOSE position.
3. With the sunshade switch held to the CLOSE position, turn the rotary sunroof switch to the full OPEN position, and then to the full CLOSE position. Wait until both the sunshade and glass close and remain closed for approximately 2 seconds. Both the sunshade and the glass will stall at the full closed position.
4. Release the sunshade switch.
5. Within 6 seconds, press the sunshade switch to the CLOSE position two more times and then hold it in the CLOSE position. The glass and the sunshade will travel to the full open position and then stall for approximately 1 second before returning to the full closed position. Continue to hold the sunshade switch to the CLOSE position for approximately 2 seconds to complete the procedure.
6. Verify sunroof operation. Refer to Sunroof Description and Operation (W/RPO CF5) Sunroof Description and Operation (W/RPO C3Y) in Roof.
The initialization procedure is not complete if one of the following actions occurs before the procedure is complete:
- The sunroof rotary switch does not remain in the CLOSE position.
- The sunshade switch is not held continuously in the CLOSE position at the appropriate times.
- The glass and/or sunshade has not reached the full CLOSE position after opening.
- The ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.
- Battery positive voltage is removed.
SUNROOF MOTOR/ACTUATOR REPROGRAMMING
This component is not re-programmable.
SUNROOF MOTOR/ACTUATOR RE-INITIALIZATION: MAY BE DUE TO RELATED COMPONENT SERVICE
If the sunroof motor/actuator has been removed and re-installed, or if battery positive voltage or ground has been removed from the motor/actuator for any reason, follow the sunroof motor/actuator replacement initialization procedure.
