Power Sunroof System Components
The power sunroof system consists of the following components:
• | Sunroof actuator motor, with limit switch |
• | Sunroof window-spoiler type, with window sliding above the roof |
• | Rail and track assembly upon which the sunroof window rides |
Power Sunroof Operation
The sunroof switch receives power through the accessory voltage circuit from
the SUNROOF fuse. The power sunroof will operate with the ignition switch turned
to RUN and during retained accessory power (RAP). For a complete description of
the RAP operation, refer to
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Description and Operation
in Computer/Integrating Systems. The sunroof
switch also receives a constant ground from G401. Use the sunroof switch, located
in the front center of the headliner, to command the sunroof window to:
Open to Vent
Press and hold the rearward portion of the sunroof switch, firmly to the first
detent, the vent position. The sunroof switch will apply the accessory voltage through
to the sunroof motor open control circuit to the sunroof actuator motor. The sunroof
switch will also apply the ground circuit through to the sunroof motor close control
circuit to the sunroof actuator motor. The rear edge of the sunroof window will raise
upward, soft stopping at the vent position. As the sunroof window reaches the vent
position, the sunroof limit switch opens, opening the ground path being supplied to
the sunroof switch, stopping the sunroof actuator motor.
To Slide Open
Press and hold the rearward portion of the sunroof switch, firmly to the second
detent, the open position. The sunroof switch will apply the accessory voltage through
to the sunroof motor open control circuit to the sunroof actuator motor. The sunroof
switch will also supply the ground circuit to the sunroof motor close control circuit
to the sunroof actuator motor. The sunroof window will slide rearward until it reaches
a hard stop at the full open position, unless the sunroof switch is released.
To Close
Press and hold the forward portion of the sunroof switch to the close position.
The sunroof switch will apply the accessory voltage through to the sunroof motor
close control circuit to the sunroof actuator motor. The sunroof switch will also
apply the ground circuit to the sunroof motor open control circuit to the sunroof
actuator motor. The sunroof window will slide to the close position and will hard
stop at the close position, unless the sunroof switch is released.
Sunroof Switch
The sunroof switch has 4 positions:
Pressing the forward portion of the sunroof switch will slide the sunroof window
to the close position. Pressing the rearward portion of the sunroof switch, firmly
to the first detent, will raise the rear edge of the sunroof window from the close
position to the vent position. Pressing the rearward portion of the sunroof switch,
firmly to the second detent, will move the sunroof window from the close or vent
position to the full open position.
Limit Switch
The sunroof limit switch controls the operation to soft stop the sunroof window
in the vent position, when raising upward from the close position. As the sunroof
window reaches the vent position, the limit switch will open, opening the ground
path supplied to the sunroof switch through the sunroof limit switch range signal
circuit.
Important: If the sunroof actuator motor should need
any repair or adjustment, once it is removed any turns of the motor or changes in
the sunroof window position will result in improper timing. Review the sunroof motor
synchronization procedure for further information and set-up instructions. REFER TO
THE APPROPRIATE PROCEDURE.
