Power Sunshade Inoperative
POWER SUNSHADE INOPERATIVE
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
- By using the power sunshade switch, the sunshade can be operated independently of the sunroof. However, the power sunroof motor/actuator monitors the positions of both the sunshade and sunroof and limits the closing of the sunshade, as well as the opening of the sunroof, based upon the current positions of the two components. The power sunroof motor/actuator will not allow the sunroof to be opened more than the sunshade. When the sunroof is fully closed, the sunshade switch may be used to fully open or fully close the sunshade. However, when the sunroof is fully open, the sunshade switch can only close the sunshade to its first closed position, in which the sunshade and sunroof are equally closed.
- If a power sunshade switch open or close signal circuit shorts to voltage, it is likely that the circuit will open permanently inside the switch. If you are replacing the switch due to an open internal circuit, be sure to test the corresponding external circuit for a short to battery.
