Sunroof / Moonroof Motor: Testing and Inspection





Inspection

1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
2. Remove the roof trim.
3. Disconnect the Panorama roof motor (A) connector.




4. Ground the terminals as below table, and check that the Panorama roof unit operates.

NOTE:
- When inspecting the Panorama roof motor operation, Panorama roof motor and roller blind motor always should be connected.




A : Master connector / Panorama roof panel
B : Slave connector / Roller blind
5. Make these input tests at the connector. If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system. If all the input tests prove OK, the Panorama roof motor must be faulty; replace it.





6. Ground the terminals as below table, and check that the roller blind motor operates.

Then, release the control lever.
When this is complete, the Panorama roof system is reset.

Protecting Motor From Overheating
In order to protect the Panorama roof motor from overheating from continuous motor operation, the Panorama roof ECU controls the Run-time and Cool-time of the motor as follows:
1. The Panorama roof ECU detects the Run- time of motor
2. Motor can be operated continuously for the 1st run-time(120 ± 10sec.).
3. The continuous operation of motor stops after the 1st Run-time(120 ± 10sec.).
4. Then Motor is not operated for the 1st Cool-time(18 ± 2sec.).
5. Motor is operated for the 2nd Run-time(10 ± 2sec.) at the continued motor operation after 1st Cool-time(18 ± 2sec.)
6. The continuous operation of motor stops operating after the 2nd Run-time(10 ± 2sec.)
7. Motor is not operated for the 2nd Cool-time(18 ± 2sec.).
8. Motor repeats the 2nd run-time and 2nd cool-time at the continued motor operation.
A. In case that motor is not operated continuously, the run-time is increased.
B. The Run-Time of motor is initialized to "0" if the battery or fuse is reconnected after being disconnected, discharged or blown.




T1 : 120 ± 10 sec., T2 : 18 ± 2 sec.,
T3 : 10 ± 2 sec., T4 : 18 ± 2 sec.
