Principles of Operation

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Roof Opening Panel
The roof opening panel assembly uses an integrated motor and module to operate the roof opening panel. The roof opening panel motor and module are installed new as an assembly. The roof opening panel is an electronically operated glass panel that can be opened, closed or tilted by the roof opening panel switch. Actuating the switch in either a forward or rearward motion supplies a ground to the roof opening panel motor/module. The roof opening panel has one-touch open and one-touch close features that are activated when the switch is momentarily pressed to the double detent OPEN or CLOSE position. These functions are controlled by the roof opening panel motor/module.

The roof opening panel motor must be initialized whenever the roof opening panel motor 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 or a new roof opening panel assembly has been installed.

Global Open - MKZ only
When the unlock button of the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter is held for 2 seconds the global open activates. The smart junction box (SJB) sends a signal to activate the one-touch open operation of the roof opening panel. The global open feature does not operate if the delay accessory is active.
