Diagnostic Aids
If the sunroof is experiencing an intermittent inoperative condition, check the sunroof switch ground circuit for an open. If the sunroof switch ground circuit is open, the switch may take a redundant path to ground through the switch illumination circuit. When the lights are turned ON, the redundant path to ground is removed and the sunroof will become inoperative.
If the sunroof close vent switch signal circuit is found to be short to voltage, the sunroof switch will most likely be open.

Step | Action | Values | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Schematic Reference: Sunroof Schematics Connector End View Reference: Power Roof Systems Connector End Views DEFINITION: The sunroof will not close from the vent position using the vent close switch. However, the roof will close from the vent position by using the roof close switch or roof express close switch. All other sunroof functions operate OK. | ||||
