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.
Sunroof Operation
The sun roof communicates with the central electronic module (CEM) (4/56) via serial communication. The sun roof has a sun roof module (SRM) (4/33) which manages this communication.
Information about the sun roof position and information to be used for diagnosis is sent from the sun roof to the central electronic module (CEM). The information about the position is transmitted on to other control modules, such as the climate control module (CCM) (3/112) (via central electronic module (CEM)).
The communication between the central electronic module (CEM) and the sun roof mainly consists of diagnostic information.
