Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Express Open

The EXPRESS OPEN mode is initiated by momentarily moving the sunroof slide switch (ROOF) rearward to the second position (EXPRESS OPEN). This applies a ground from the sunroof switch low reference circuit through both the sunroof switch open signal and the sunroof switch express signal circuits to the sunroof module. The sunroof module will then control voltage to the control circuits of the sunroof motor. The sunroof motor will run until the limit switch contacts are closed. The closing of the limit switch will apply the sunroof limit switch low reference circuit to the sunroof limit switch soft stop signal circuit to the sunroof module, indicating the comfort stop position has been reached. The comfort stop position is a predetermined position that the sunroof glass will open to allowing minimal wind noise. If the sunroof slide switch is pressed again, the sunroof motor will run until a mechanical stop is met in the sunroof track, indicating the fully open position. Also, the sunroof module will revert back to manual operation if the switch is not released within 1 second. As the sunroof is expressing open the wind deflector will raise upward and the sunshade will slide along with the glass.
