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.
- F1 CHECK THE MOTOR/MODULE FOR INITIALIZATION
- Attempt to carry out the roof opening panel motor initialization procedure. Refer to Roof Opening Panel Motor Initialization .
- Is the concern still present, or does the roof opening panel motor fail to initialize?
- YES : Go to F2.
- NO : The system is operating normally at this time. The roof opening panel motor was not initialized.
- F2 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 COMPONENT TESTING article.
- Is the roof opening panel switch OK?
- YES : Go to F3.
- NO : INSTALL a new roof opening panel switch. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F3 CHECK CIRCUIT CPR38 (WH/BU) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between overhead console C930-2, circuit CPR38 (WH/BU), and roof opening panel motor/module C921-4, circuit CPR38 (WH/BU) 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 CPR38 (WH/BU) between the roof opening panel switch socket and overhead console C930-2. 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 F4 .
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F4 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 F5 .
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F5 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.
