Roof Opening Panel Motor Initialization

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 RUN position.

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

For an existing roof opening panel motor, go to Step 3.

For a new roof opening panel motor, skip to Step 4.

3. 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.

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

4. Push 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. Release the switch.

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