Sunroof Window Motor Initialization




Sunroof Window Motor Initialization

Initialization/Teach Procedure, Manual Method, New/First Time Installation

Perform the initialization/teach procedure at first operation test of the sunroof. Ensure the electrical harness on the headliner is connected to the large roof, battery power is applied, the ignition switch is on, and the engine is running. During initialization the sunroof/sunshade may only move in the closing direction. The sunroof/sunshade may be initialized independently of each other. If initializing both motors, it is better to initialize the sunroof motor first.

1. Press the sunroof switch to the close position until the window stalls at the front hard stop in the full close position. Release the button.

2. Press the sunshade switch to the close position until the sunshade stalls at the front hard stop in the full close position. Release the button.

3. Verify the operation of the sunroof.

The initialization teach procedure is not completed if one of the following events occurs before the initialization/teach cycle is done:

* The switch is not held in the close position until stall is detected.

* Ignition and/or battery power has been removed.

* The window panel has not reached the close position, and/or the sunshade has not reached the close position.

If the initialization/teach procedure is not carried out completely, the procedure has to be started again.

Re-Initialization/Teach Procedure, Manual Method, Reinstallation

Perform the initialization/teach procedure at first operation test of the sunroof. Ensure the electrical harness on the headliner is connected to the large roof, battery power is applied, the ignition switch is on, and the engine is running. The sunroof/sunshade may be re-initialized independently of each other. If initializing both motors, it is better to initialize the sunroof motor first.

1. Press the sunroof switch to the close position until the window reaches the close soft stop position and then release the switch.

3. Press the sunshade switch to the close position until the sunshade reaches the close soft stop position and then release the switch.

4. Press and hold the sunshade switch in the close position for at least 10 seconds. The motor will resume motion and continue to travel until it stalls at the front hard stop.

5. Verify the operation of the sunroof.

The initialization teach procedure is not completed if one of the following events occurs before the initialization/teach cycle is done:

* The switch is not held in the close position until stall is detected.

* Ignition and/or battery power has been removed.

* The window panel or sunshade has not reached the close position.

If the initialization/teach procedure is not carried out completely, the procedure has to be started again.
