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 must be initialized after installation. It will only move toward the VENT position until initialized.

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

1. Turn the ignition to the RUN position.

2. For a new roof opening panel motor, press and hold the roof opening panel control switch forward until the roof opening panel glass moves to the full VENT position.

3. NOTE: Make sure the front door is open during this step.

Cycle the ignition from ON to OFF and then back to ON.

4. Within 5 seconds:
- press and release the roof opening panel control switch forward.

- press and hold the roof opening panel control switch forward.

5. Continue holding the roof opening panel control switch forward for 5 seconds after the roof opening panel motor stops moving to confirm this position to the roof opening panel motor.

6. NOTE: Only complete open and close motions count towards the cycle count. If the roof opening panel reverses during closing operations, perform the cycles with the roof opening panel control switch continuously held during the closing motions.
Release the roof opening panel switch and test the system for normal operation by checking the one-touch open, one-touch close, one-touch vent and close operations. Five complete cycles must be carried out for the roof opening panel motor to be correctly initialized.
- If the roof opening panel does not operate correctly, repeat Steps 2 through 6.
