  1. Disconnect the sunroof switch from the harness connector.
  2. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
  3. Measure the reference voltage of the sunroof switch open signal circuit at the sunroof switch harness connector to ground.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
4.5-5.5 V Go to Step 4  Go to Step 7 
4 Measure the reference voltage of the sunroof switch close signal circuit at the sunroof switch harness connector to ground.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
4.5-5.5 V Go to Step 5  Go to Step 12 
5 Measure the reference voltage between the sunroof switch close signal circuit and the sunroof switch low reference circuit at the sunroof switch harness connector.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
4.5-5.5 V Go to Step 6  Go to Step 16

  1. Connect one end of a jumper wire to the sunroof switch low reference circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector.
  2. Depending on the position of the sunroof, try to operate the sunroof by connecting the other end of the jumper wire to each of the:
    • Sunroof switch open signal circuit
    • Sunroof switch close signal circuit
Does the system operate normally?
- Go to Step 19  Go to Step 7 
7 Did the reference voltage of the sunroof switch open signal circuit measure near the specified value? 9-14 V Go to Step 8  Go to Step 9 
8 Measure the reference voltage of the sunroof switch close signal circuit at the sunroof switch harness connector to ground.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
9-14 V Go to Step 11  Go to Step 17 
9 Measure the reference voltage of the sunroof switch close signal circuit at the sunroof switch harness connector to ground.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
4.5-5.5 V Go to Step 13  Go to Step 10

  1. Disconnect the sunroof control module harness connector that contains the sunroof ignition 3 voltage circuit.
  2. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
  3. Measure the sunroof ignition 3 voltage circuit at the sunroof control module harness connector to a good ground.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
9-14 V Go to Step 20  Go to Step 18 
11 Measure between the sunroof ignition 3 voltage circuit and the ground circuit at the sunroof control module harness connector.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
9-14 V Go to Step 20  Go to Step 21 
12 Did the reference voltage of the sunroof switch close signal circuit measure near the specified value? 9-14 V Go to Step 15  Go to Step 14 
13 Test for an open, high resistance or short to ground in the sunroof switch open signal circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 24  Go to Step 20 
14 Test for an open, high resistance or short to ground in the sunroof switch close signal circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 24  Go to Step 20 
15 Test the sunroof switch close signal circuit for a short to battery positive voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 24  Go to Step 23 
16 Test the sunroof switch low reference circuit for an open, high resistance and for a short to battery positive voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 24  Go to Step 20 
17 Test the sunroof switch open signal circuit for a short to battery positive voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 24  Go to Step 23 
18 Test the ignition 3 voltage circuit for an open, high resistance or short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
