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 fifteen
minutes after the ignition key is turned off for cus-
tomer comfort and convenance while parking.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SUNROOF DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
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.

WATER DRAINAGE AND WIND NOISE DIAGNOSIS
The sliding glass panel is designed to seal water
entry with a snug fit between the roof and the seal.
The fit can be checked by inserting a piece of paper
between the roof and the seal. The piece of paper
should have some resistance when pulled out when
the glass panel is in the closed position. Excessive
wind noise could result if the gap clearances are
exceeded. The sunroof glass panel may need to be
adjusted. Refer to Sunroof Glass Panel Adjustment
for proper procedures.
Adequate drainage is provided by a drain trough in
the sunroof housing which encircles the sliding glass
panel and leads to drain hoses. If a wet headliner or
other water leak complaints are encountered, before
performing any adjustments, first ensure that the
drainage system is not plugged or disconnected. Use
a pint container to pour water into the sunroof hous-
ing drain trough. If water flow is restricted in any of
the four drain holes, use compressed air to blow out
any material plugging the drain system. Retest sys-
tem again.
To further check for a disconnected drain hose:
(1) Remove A-pillar trim, sun visors, and map
lamps/mini console.
(2) Remove sunroof opening trim lace. Refer to
Sunroof Opening Trim Lace.
NOTE: Care must be taken not to fold or kink the
headliner upon removal.
(3) Lower headliner as necessary to gain access to
sunroof housing drain tubes. Refer to Headlining
Removal and Installation for proper procedures.
(4) Repair as necessary.
