The Power Sunroof Actuator Limit Switch can cause the sunroof not to respond correctly to the Power Sunroof Switches with a short to ground or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. If the circuits test OK, measure the resistance of the Limit Switch. Resistance should be indicated in the sunroof positions mentioned in the Power Sunroof Circuit Description , otherwise an open should be indicated. An intermittent or poor connection can also cause the sunroof not to operate normally. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
The steps below refer to the test steps in the diagnostic table.
