Roof Opening Panel Motor Initialization

To Reinitialize An Existing Roof Opening Panel Motor

WARNING: Keep objects and body parts clear of the glass panel when carrying out the initialization procedure. During the initialization procedure, the glass panel closes with high force and cannot detect objects in its path. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

NOTE: A new roof opening panel motor will only move to the vent position and must be initialized.

NOTE: The roof opening panel motor must be initialized when repairs are carried out on any part of the roof opening panel system, including: whenever the roof opening panel motor has been removed from the roof opening panel system, the roof opening panel glass has been removed from the roof opening panel system, the roof opening panel assembly has been removed from the vehicle, a new roof opening panel motor has been installed, a new roof opening panel glass has been installed or a new roof opening panel assembly has been installed.

1. Turn the ignition to the ACC or RUN position.

2. Push and hold the rear portion of the roof opening control switch to the second detent until the glass panel moves to the full rear OPEN position. Release the switch.

3. Inspect the roof opening panel track for any obstruction or foreign material. Remove any obstruction or foreign material before proceeding.

4. Push and hold the front portion of the roof opening control switch to the second detent until the glass panel moves to the CLOSED position. Release the switch.

5. NOTE: The roof opening panel may appear to be at the closed or nearly closed position, but the motor identifies it is in full vent.
Push and hold the front portion of the roof opening control switch to the second detent until the glass panel moves closest to the full VENT position as possible.


6. NOTE: The driver or passenger front door must be open during this step.
Complete the following within 5 seconds:

- Cycle the ignition to the OFF position and then back to the RUN position.

- Press the front portion of the roof opening panel control switch to the second detent for one second and release.


7. Within 1 second press and hold the front portion of the roof opening panel control switch to the second detent until the glass panel moves past the full VENT position and stops. Release the switch.

8. Verify successful initialization by carrying out one-touch OPEN, one-touch CLOSE and one-touch VENT operations.
