SUNROOF
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: Keep fingers and other body parts out
of sunroof opening at all times.
The sun roof features consists of: (Fig. 1)
²Sun roof glass
²Sun roof sun shade
The sunroof power sliding glass panel and sun-
shade can be positioned anywhere along its travel,
rearward of glass panel front edge.
The sunroof is electrically operated from a switch
located in the overhead console. To operate the sun-
roof the ignition switch must be in the Accessory or
On/Run position. Both switchs are a rocker style
design that open or close the sunroof. When pressing
and releasing the open button once, the sunroof will
express open to the comfort stop and the wind deflec-
tor will raise. If the button is pressed a second time,
the sunroof will continue to open to full travel unless
the button is released, at which time it will stop in
that position. Pressing and holding the close button
will close the sunroof. If the close button is released
before the glass fully closes, the sunroof will stop in
that position. The vent switch operates in a similar
manor. The sunroof will also operate for up to fifteenminutes after the ignition key is turned off for cus-
tomer comfort and convenance while parking.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SUNROOF
Refer to Sunroof Diagnostic Chart for possible
causes. Before beginning sunroof diagnostics verify
that all other power accessories are in proper operat-
ing condition. If not, a common electrical problem
may exist. Refer to Wiring Diagrams, in this publica-
tion for circuit, splice and component descriptions.
Check the condition of the circuit protection (20 amp
circuit breaker in the Junction Block). Inspect all
wiring connector pins for proper engagement and
continuity. Check for battery voltage at the power
sunroof controller, refer to Wiring Diagrams, for cir-
cuit information. If battery voltage of more than 10
volts is detected at the controller, proceed with the
following tests (the controller will not operate at less
than 10 volts).
Before beginning diagnosis for wind noise or water
leaks, verify that the problem was not caused by
releasing the control switch before the sunroof was
fully closed. The sunroof module has a water-man-
agement system. If however, the sunroof glass is in a
partial closed position, high pressure water may be
forced beyond the water management system bound-
aries and onto the headlining.

²The normally open terminal (87) provides a bat-
tery current output to the compressor clutch coil
through the compressor clutch relay output circuit
only when the compressor clutch relay coil is ener-
gized.
²The normally closed terminal (87A) is not con-
nected to any circuit in this application, but provides
a battery current output only when the compressor
clutch relay coil is de-energized.
The A/C compressor clutch relay cannot be
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced. Refer to the appropriate wiring information
for diagnosis and testing of the micro-relay and for
complete HVAC wiring diagrams.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(2) Remove the cover from the integrated power
module (IPM) (Fig. 8).
(3) Refer to the fuse and relay layout map on the
inner surface of the IPM cover for A/C compressor
clutch relay identification and location.
(4) Remove the A/C compressor clutch relay from
the IPM.
INSTALLATION
(1) Refer to the fuse and relay layout map on the
inner surface of the integrated power module (IPM)cover for A/C compressor clutch relay identification
and location.
(2) Position the A/C compressor clutch relay into
the proper receptacle in the IPM.
(3) Align the A/C compressor clutch relay termi-
nals with the terminal cavities in the IPM receptacle.
(4) Push down firmly on the A/C compressor clutch
relay until the terminals are fully seated in the ter-
minal cavities in the IPM receptacle.
(5) Install the cover onto the IPM.
(6) Reconnect the negative battery cable.
A/C HEATER CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The A/C-heater control is located at the center of
the instrument panel and uses electrical controls.
These controls provide the vehicle operator with a
number of setting options to help control the climate
and comfort within the vehicle. Refer to the owner's
manual in the vehicle glove box for more information
on the suggested operation and use of these controls.
The A/C-heater control cannot be repaired. If faulty
or damaged, the entire unit must be replaced. The
control knobs and the illumination lamps are avail-
able for service replacement.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - A/C-HEATER
CONTROL CALIBRATION
The A/C-heater control module must be recali-
brated each time an actuator motor or the control
module is replaced. If the vehicle is so equipped, the
calibration procedure also includes rear HVAC posi-
tions for each actuator motor.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
(2) If equipped with the manual temperature con-
trol (MTC) system, press and hold the Rear Wipe/
Wash and Recirculation buttoms for at least five
seconds. If equipped with the automatic temperature
control (ATC) systen, simultaneously press and hold
the Power and Recirculation buttons on the A/C-
heater control for at least five seconds. The MTC
A/C-heater control Rear Wipe/Wash Light Emitting
Diode (LED) and Recirculation LED, or the ATC A/C-
heater control Delay and Recirculation graphics will
begin to flash when the calibration procedure has
begun.
(3) The calibration procedure should take less than
two minutes to complete for the manual A/C-heater
control, and less than twenty seconds for the ATC
A/C-heater control. When the LEDs or graphics stop
flashing, the calibration procedure is complete.
(4) If the LEDs or graphics continue to flash
beyond the two minute (manual) or twenty second
(ATC) calibration time, it indicates that the A/C-
