This PI has been revised to include the Pontiac Pursuit. Please discard PIC3757.
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition/Concern:
A customer may find the sunroof becomes inoperative, binds, or sticks when operating.
Recommendation/Instructions:
Please inspect for foreign object matter in the sunroof track area or in the mechanism prior to replacement. The module may not need to be replaced.
Some sunroofs were updated before they left the factory. When the sunroof glass is replaced, each comes with new screws for installation. When installing the new glass, some screws may have been inadvertently dropped into the sunroof track area and during normal driving these may become positioned so they may cause a sticking, binding, or an inoperative sunroof.
Please inspect the track area closely for loose foreign objects; they may become trapped in the grease that is used for lubrication and may be difficult to find.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
