Pinpoint Test E: The Roof Opening Panel Does Not Open Or Close
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Sable, 2008 Ford Taurus X, and 2008 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- E1 CHECK THE MOTOR/MODULE FOR INITIALIZATION
- Carry out the roof opening panel motor initialization procedure. Refer to Roof Opening Panel Motor Initialization .
- Is the concern still present?
- YES : Go to E2.
- NO : The system is operating normally at this time. The roof opening panel motor was not initialized.
- E2 CHECK THE POWER WINDOWS
- Key in ON position.
- Verify the power windows operate.
- Do the power windows operate?
- YES : Go to E3.
- NO : REFER to GLASS, FRAMES AND MECHANISMS article to diagnose the accessory delay relay circuit.
- E3 CHECK THE ROOF OPENING PANEL SWITCH
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Roof Opening Panel Switch
- Carry out the Roof Opening Panel Switch Component Test. Refer to appropriate appropriate COMPONENT TESTING article article.
- Is the roof opening panel switch OK?
- YES : Go to E4.
- NO : INSTALL a new roof opening panel switch. TEST the system for normal operation.
- E4 CHECK VOLTAGE TO THE ROOF OPENING PANEL MOTOR/MODULE - CIRCUITS CBP41 (BU) AND SBP19 (BU/RD)
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Roof Opening Panel Motor/Module C921
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between roof opening panel motor/module C921-3, circuit CBP41 (BU) and C921-6, circuit SBP19 (BU/RD), harness side and ground.
- Are the voltages greater than 10 volts, but less than 16 volts?
- YES : Go to E5.
- NO : VERIFY SJB fuse 19 (25A) and fuse 41 (15A) are OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- E5 CHECK THE ROOF OPENING PANEL GROUND - CIRCUIT GD133 (BK)
- Key in OFF position.
- Measure the resistance between roof opening panel motor/module C921-1, circuit GD133 (BK), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- YES : Go to E6.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- E6 CHECK CIRCUIT CPR39 (VT/WH) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between overhead console C930-4, circuit CPR39 (VT/WH), and roof opening panel motor/module C921-2, circuit CPR39 (VT/WH) harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- YES : CHECK the overhead console jumper harness for loose pins, an open or a short in circuit CPR39 (VT/WH) between the roof opening panel switch socket and overhead console C930-4. If the overhead console jumper harness is not OK, INSTALL a new overhead console jumper harness and TEST the system for normal operation. If the overhead console jumper harness is OK, go to E7 .
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- E7 CHECK CIRCUIT CPR40 (YE/OG) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between overhead console C930-3, circuit CPR40 (YE/OG), and roof opening panel motor/module C921-10, circuit CPR40 (YE/OG) harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- YES : CHECK the overhead console jumper harness for loose pins, an open or a short in circuit CPR40 (YE/OG) between the roof opening panel switch socket and overhead console C930-3. If the overhead console jumper harness is not OK, INSTALL a new overhead console jumper harness and TEST the system for normal operation. If the overhead console jumper harness is OK, go to E8 .
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- E8 CHECK CIRCUIT CPR31 (VT/BN) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between overhead console C930-7, circuit CPR31 (VT/BN), and roof opening panel motor/module C921-5, circuit CPR31 (VT/BN) harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- YES : CHECK the overhead console jumper harness for loose pins, an open or a short in circuit CPR31 (VT/BN) between the roof opening panel switch socket and overhead console C930-7. If the overhead console jumper harness is not OK, INSTALL a new overhead console jumper harness, and TEST the system for normal operation. If the overhead console jumper harness is OK, go to E9 .
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- E9 CHECK THE ROOF OPENING PANEL MOTOR/MODULE FOR CORRECT OPERATION
- Disconnect all roof opening panel motor/module connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion.
- bent pins.
- pushed-out pins.
- Connect all roof opening panel motor/module connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- YES : INSTALL a new roof opening panel motor/module. REFER to Roof Opening Panel Motor . TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
