CONTROL SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power sunroof utilize an
sunroof control switch. On this model, the sunroof
control switch is located in the overhead console, in
between the two reading lamps. The switch is
mounted in the overhead console with four plastic
retaining tabs, molded into the switch housing.
This switch incorporates four selections of opera-
tion open, auto open, close and vent. The individual
switches in the sunroof control switch unit cannot be
repaired. If one switch is damaged or faulty, the
entire sunroof control switch unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
With the operation of the sunroof control switch,
voltage is directed to the sunroof motor, through the
switch contacts or control module. If the control
switch is depressed and held depressed the voltage
signal is controlled manually through the switch con-
tacts, so when the switch is released the sunroof
stops.
Refer to the owners manual for more information
on the operation of the sunroof switch and system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
The following test will determine if the sunroof
control switch is operating properly.
(1) Remove the overhead console from the head-
liner (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE - REMOVAL).
(2) Remove the sunroof control switch from the
overhead console (Refer to 23 - BODY/SUNROOF/
CONTROL SWITCH - REMOVAL).
(3) Using an ohmmeter, test the switch terminals
for proper continuity using the table below. If any ofthe terminals do not show proper continuity, replace
the sunroof control switch.
SWITCH POSITION
(DEPRESSED)CONTINUITY BETWEEN
TERMINALS
VENT (V) 3, 4
OPEN (AUTO) 1, 4
CLOSE 2, 4
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(2) Remove the overhead console from the head-
liner (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE - REMOVAL).
(3) Disconnect the sunroof control switch electrical
connector. Depress the connector retaining tab and
pull the connector straight out.
(4) To remove the switch from the overhead con-
sole, push on the back of the switch until it comes
free from the overhead console.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the switch in the overhead console
assembly. Be certain the switch is securely snapped
in place.
(2) Connect the sunroof control switch electrical
connector. Be certain the switch connector is securely
snapped in place.
(3) Install the overhead console (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE - INSTALLA-
