WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. E1 VERIFY POWER WINDOWS ARE OPERATIONAL 
    • Operate the power windows.
    • Do the power windows operate? 
    1. Yes  : GO to E2.
    2. No  : REFER to EXTERIOR TRIM to diagnose the inoperative windows.
  2. E2 VERIFY THE ROOF OPENING PANEL ADJUSTMENT 
    • Verify the roof opening panel is adjusted correctly.
    • Is the roof opening panel adjusted correctly? 
    1. Yes  : GO to E3.
    2. No  : ADJUST the roof opening panel. REFER to ROOF OPENING PANEL ALIGNMENT . REINITIALIZE the roof opening panel. REFER to ROOF OPENING PANEL MOTOR INITIALIZATION . TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. E3 CHECK THE ROOF OPENING PANEL LIFTER ASSEMBLIES FOR OBSTRUCTIONS AND DAMAGE 
    • Check the roof opening panel lifter assemblies for obstructions and damage.
    • Are the roof opening panel lifter assemblies OK? 
    1. Yes  : GO to E4.
    2. No  : REMOVE all obstructions and REPAIR any damage. REINITIALIZE the roof opening panel. REFER to ROOF OPENING PANEL MOTOR INITIALIZATION . TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. E4 CHECK CIRCUIT 30-AG12 (RD/GN) FOR VOLTAGE 
    • Disconnect: Roof Opening Panel Motor C920.
    • Measure the voltage between the roof opening panel motor C920-1, circuit 30-AG12 (RD/GN), harness side and ground.
