Standard Procedure - Power Sunroof Timing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Perform the timing procedures if any of the following conditions exist:
- Glass skewed in the channel
- One side of the glass dropping before the other while moving from "VENT" to "CLOSE"
- Glass reversing direction when closing the sunroof
- Glass will not close or may stop at the wrong location
- The glass may over travel the "OPEN" position and stall the motor
- The glass may over travel the "CLOSE" position and stall the motor
NOTE:
The timing of the motor/module and the sunroof assembly play a critical role in the proper function of the sunroof. If the motor/module is removed and the sunroof glass or cables are moved the sunroof module will have to be timed. REFER to the following procedure for the necessary steps.
- Perform the motor/module re-initialization procedure, (Refer to ELECTRICAL/POWER TOP/MOTOR - STANDARD PROCEDURE) .
- Remove the motor/module, (Refer to ELECTRICAL/POWER TOP/MOTOR - REMOVAL) .
- Remove sunroof glass panel (Refer to BODY/SUNROOF/GLASS PANEL - REMOVAL) .
- Now place both right and left arms in the closed position. Using a screwdriver, push the plastic cable all the way forward in the track until the glass mounting arm drops into the closed position.
- Repeat this on the other side.
- To verify correct timing, there is an 1/8 inch hole in the cable ramp that must be aligned with the front glass mounting screw hole.
- Using an awl, verify alignment of both right and left timing holes. The tracks will now be timed to the fully closed position.
- Install the motor/module (Refer to ELECTRICAL/POWER TOP/MOTOR - INSTALLATION) .
- Install the sunroof glass panel, (Refer to BODY/SUNROOF/GLASS PANEL - INSTALLATION) .
- Perform the motor/module re-initialization procedure, (Refer to ELECTRICAL/POWER TOP/MOTOR - STANDARD PROCEDURE) .
