The sunroof motor supplies each of the sunroof switch signal circuits with a 5-volt reference. When a switch is pressed the signal circuit is pulled low signaling the sunroof open or close request. The motor determines the motor direction based on inputs received from the sunroof switch. When the motor reverses the polarity of the applied voltage, the motor reverses direction.

Important: Because of the accessibility of the sunroof switch, perform the sunroof switch component test before beginning the Circuit/System Testing.
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, replace the fuse and replace the sunroof motor. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, refer to Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Malfunction . |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. |
Important: Apply ground to the motor for no longer than 2 seconds at a time or the motor could be damaged.
When performing the following tests, make sure that the sunroof or sunshade is not at its end of travel position by switching the grounded jumper to the other signal circuit if the sunroof or sunshade does not move in one direction.⇒ | If the sunroof does not move, test the signal circuit for a short to ground, short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test is normal, replace the sunroof motor. |
⇒ | If the sunroof does not move, test the signal circuit for a short to ground, short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test is normal, replace the sunroof motor. |

• | Sunroof switch close signal terminal F |
⇒ | If less than the specified range, replace the sunroof switch. |
Important: If the switch tests open in any switch position other than Off, test the sunroof switch signal circuits for a short to voltage before replacing the switch.
