Condition

Some customers may comment that the sunroof will no longer respond to the control switch while in a vented, partially opened, or fully opened position.

Cause

A software issue with the sunroof control module may cause the sunroof control module to incorrectly indicate a "closed" position, which may result in no power to the sunroof motor.

Correction

Verify the customer concern. If a condition is present, replace the sunroof control module with a new sunroof control module, P/N 15847643. Refer to the Service Procedure in this bulletin.

Service Procedure
