Test Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2004 GMC Envoy XUV, 2004 GMC Envoy XL, 2004 GMC Envoy, and 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3:  This step is used to determine the correct diagnostic path. The path depends on if the sunroof is inoperative and in the open position, or if the sunroof is inoperative and in the closed position.
  2. 4:  This step tests the sunroof switch open switch.
  3. 7:  This step tests the sunroof switch close switch.
Power Sunroof Inoperative Diagnostic Test

Step Action Value(s) Yes No
Schematic Reference: Power Sunroof Schematics 
Connector End View Reference: Power Roof Systems Connector End Views 
1 Did you perform the Power Sunroof Diagnostic System Check? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Power Sunroof 
2 Attempt to operate the sunroof through its full range of functions in order to verify that the power sunroof inoperative fault is present.
Does the power sunroof system operate normally?
- Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems Go to Step 3 
Is the sunroof in the fully closed position? - Go to Step 4  Go to Step 7 
  1. Disconnect the sunroof switch.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire to the low reference circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector.
  4. Connect the other end of the 3-amp fused jumper wire to the sunroof switch open signal circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector, for 3 seconds.
Did the sunroof open?
- Go to Step 17  Go to Step 5

  1. Disconnect the 3-amp fused jumper wire.
  2. Measure the voltage from the sunroof switch open signal circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector to the low reference circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
B+ Go to Step 13  Go to Step 6 
6 Measure the voltage from the sunroof switch open signal circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector to a good ground.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
B+ Go to Step 14  Go to Step 10 
  1. Disconnect the sunroof switch.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire to the low reference circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector.
  4. Connect the other end of the 3-amp fused jumper wire to the sunroof switch close signal circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector, for 3 seconds.
Did the sunroof close?
- Go to Step 17  Go to Step 8

  1. Disconnect the 3-amp fused jumper wire.
  2. Measure the voltage from the sunroof switch close signal circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector to the low reference circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
B+ Go to Step 15  Go to Step 9 
9 Measure the voltage from the sunroof switch close signal circuit of the sunroof switch harness connector to a good ground.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
B+ Go to Step 14  Go to Step 10 
10
  1. Disconnect the sunroof motor harness connector.
  2. Measure the voltage from the battery positive voltage circuit of the sunroof motor harness connector to a good ground.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
B+ Go to Step 11  Go to Step 19 
11 Measure the voltage from the retained accessory power (RAP) supply voltage circuit of the sunroof motor harness connector to a good ground.
Does the voltage measure near the specified value?
B+ Go to Step 12  Go to Symptoms - Retained Accessory Power in Retained Accessory Power
12
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Measure the resistance from the ground circuit of the sunroof motor harness connector to a good ground.
Does the resistance measure less than or equal to the specified value?
5 Ω Go to Step 16  Go to Step 20 
13 Test the sunroof switch close signal circuit for a short to ground. Refer toCircuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 23  Go to Step 18
