Important:
• Remove the headliner. Refer to

Trim. • The sunroof positioning encoding (SPE) switch is aligned to the drive
cables. The SPE switch comes from the factory set to the sunroof glass panel
CLOSED position. A position lock pin has been installed by the factory on
the top of the SPE switch. This pin must remain until after the installation
of the sunroof actuator and of the SPE switch. This lock pin locks the drive
gears in place and must be removed before the complete sunroof module is
installed to the vehicle. • If the SPE switch is removed for inspection, the sunroof must be in
the CLOSED position. A position lock pin must be inserted. If a position
lock pin is not available, place 2 wires, such as the ends of a paper clip,
in the holes.
Important: The cable mechanisms and/or the cam mechanisms, on both sides of the glass, contain a set of timing holes. These holes are aligned in the CLOSED position of the sunroof glass panel . These holes are located on the side opposite the rear screw hole, which is used in order to mount the sunroof glass panel. When installing a new sunroof position encoding (SPE) switch, set the sunroof glass panel to the CLOSED position.
When the timing holes are aligned, insert a pin with diameter 0.0317 mm (1/8 in) or a drill bit (1) into each set of the timing holes. Use tape in order to hold each pin in place.
Important: The SPE switch comes from the factory with a position lock pin that is installed on top of the switch. This locks the timing gears in place. Do not remove the position lock pin until after the SPE switch and the actuator are installed.
If the switch does not slide into position, the ridges on the drive cable housings will not go into the grooves on the back of the SPE switch. Lift each cable into the switch, and press down on the assembly until the assembly is completely seated.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
