Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

All of the roof opening panel switches are single position switches that can achieve one touch operation in either direction by pressing the switch for less than 1 second. For manual operation, simply press and hold the switch until the roof opening panel or shield is in the desired position and release the switch. When the front roof opening panel is in the fully closed or between fully closed and full vent position the vent switch operates in either manual or one touch operation similar to the roof opening panel and shield switches. If the shield is not open at lease to the front of the rear fixed glass (comfort stop) when the vent or roof opening panel glass open switch is pressed then the shield will first open to the comfort stop position before the roof opening panel glass will move. The roof opening panel glass and the shield will not move at the same time. One touch operation of either the roof opening panel or the shield can be cancelled anytime by pressing any roof opening panel switches during operation. When the sunroof is open and the sunroof close switch is pressed for one touch operation, a signal is sent to the sunroof motor through on the sunroof close circuit causing the sunroof to perform a one-touch close operation (closes to approximately 8 in. (200mm) from the closed position only). The sunroof open one touch operation is the same as sunroof close, except if the shield is closed when the sunroof motor is commanded to perform a one-touch open operation the motors will communicate and the shield motor will perform a one-touch open operation, then the sunroof motor will perform the one-touch open operation requested. The shield one touch operation is the same as the sunroof except if the sunroof is open, the shield will only move to the comfort stop position. The sunroof will not open as a result of a shield one touch close operation. For more information on the operation. REFER to: Roof Opening Panel - System Operation and Component Description (501-17 Roof Opening Panel, Description and Operation).
