Sunroof Motor Synchronization

Important

The sunroof motor has an internal microswitch which opens the motor circuit, turns motor OFF, when the glass reaches the full vent position. If the motor is operated separately from the sunroof module, or the position of the sunroof is changed without the motor installed, the timing of the sunroof motor to the sunroof module will be out of phase. Putting the motor back into the module while it is out of phase will result in the loss of the vent positioning feature. If the motor and the module become out of phase, or the vent positioning feature is not functioning, use the following procedure to re-time the motor:

1. With the sunroof in the fully closed position, disengage the motor from the drive cable.
Run the motor, using the switch in its vent position, until the motor stops. This is the fully vented position.
2. Using a large flat-blade screwdriver, turn the motor gear drive slot 1 ½ turns clockwise. This is the fully closed position.

Notice

Do not pull the motor in with the attaching screws as this may result in damage to the drive cables.

3. Ensure that the sunroof glass is in the fully closed position, and install the motor. Refer to Sunroof Actuator Replacement .
