SUNROOF
76-6-10 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Rear sunroof rear switch
The rear sunroof rear switch is located in the roof console in front of the rear sunroof. It controls the rear sunroof
motor via the sunroof ECU.
The rear sunroof front switch supplies an earth signal through the rear sunroof isolation switch to the sunroof ECU.
The pin at the ECU that receives the earth signal determines whether ECU causes the sunroof to open or close.
TestBook cannot monitor the state of the rear sunroof rear switch.
The following table lists the values which can be measured at the listed ECU pins when the conditions outlined are
met:

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 76-6-11
Rear sunroof motor and microswitch
The rear sunroof motor and microswitch are located within the rear sunroof assembly. The sunroof ECU controls the
rear sunroof motor.
The sunroof ECU determines the direction the sunroof motor runs. A battery signal to one side of the motor and an
earth to the other side of the motor causes the motor to turn in one direction, reversing the polarity through the same
pins causes the motor to turn in the opposite direction.

SUNROOF
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 76-6-13
Operation
Ignition switched-off timeout
There are three timeout modes for operating the sunroof assemblies after the ignition is switched off. The BCU
determines the vehicle's timeout mode. The three modes are:
lWhen the ignition is switched off, no sunroof operation is permitted.
lWhen the ignition is switched off, sunroof remains functional for 45 seconds or until the driver door is opened.
lWhen the ignition is switched off, sunroof remains functional for 45 seconds or until any door is opened.
Sunroof open and close
Both sunroof assemblies operate in the same manner. The front sunroof assembly has one switch while there are
two switches to control rear sunroof assembly, a rear sunroof front switch and a rear sunroof rear switch.
The sunroof ECU monitors the position of the sunroof microswitch to determine if the sunroof is to be tilted or opened.
In order for the sunroof to operate, either of the following conditions must exist:
lIgnition switch in position II.
lIgnition switched from on to off, doors closed (this may enable the system to operate for 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, or until a door is opened).
When the sunroof is closed, pressing the rear of the sunroof switch causes the sunroof ECU to operate the sunroof
motor and open the sunroof. When the sunroof opens, the sunroof microswitch opens. The sunroof continues to
open until the switch is released or the sunroof reaches the fully open position.
When the sunroof is open, pressing the front of the sunroof switch causes the sunroof ECU to operate the sunroof
motor and close the sunroof. The sunroof ECU continues to operate the motor until the sunroof microswitch closes.
This indicates to the sunroof ECU that the sunroof is fully closed.
Sunroof tilt
Both sunroof assemblies operate in the same manner. The front sunroof assembly has one switch while there are
two switches to control rear sunroof assembly, a rear sunroof front switch and a rear sunroof rear switch.
The sunroof ECU monitors the position of the sunroof microswitch to determine if the sunroof is to be tilted or opened.
In order for the sunroof to operate, either of the following conditions must exist.
lIgnition in position II.
lIgnition switched from on to off, doors closed (this may enable the system to operate for 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, or until a door is opened).
When the sunroof is closed and the front of the sunroof switch is pressed, the sunroof ECU detects the combination
of closed microswitch and front of sunroof switch being pressed and tilts the rear of the sunroof. This causes the
microswitch to open. The sunroof continues to open until the switch is released or the sunroof reaches the fully open
position.
When the sunroof is tilted and the rear of the sunroof switch is pressed, the sunroof ECU detects the combination of
open microswitch and rear of sunroof switch and closes the sunroof until the microswitch closes. This indicates to the
sunroof ECU that the sunroof is fully closed.
Rear sunroof isolation
The rear sunroof isolation switch prevents the rear sunroof rear switch from operating the rear sunroof. This can be
used to prevent small children sitting in the rear seat from playing with the rear sunroof.
Pressing the rear sunroof isolation switch opens the circuit between the rear sunroof rear switch and the sunroof ECU.
The sunroof ECU ignores the rear sunroof switch until the rear sunroof isolation switch is pressed and the circuit
closes.
