Bounce Back

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Lincoln MKZ. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The roof opening panel glass has a bounce back feature that is activated by the anti-pinch switch. If an obstacle has been detected in the roof opening panel as the sliding glass is closing, the roof opening panel will automatically open and stop at a predetermined position. The anti-pinch switch is located around the glass opening (near the main compression seal) and is wired directly to the roof opening panel primary motor. When the primary motor receives this signal it sends the data on the K-BUS to the secondary motor and the glass reverses immediately. The primary motor monitors the position of the roof opening panel glass and at a predetermined position near the point where the glass begins to move down to seal, the motors ignore the anti-pinch switch signal. If the anti-pinch switch remains activated (pressed) or is shorted for more than 30 seconds the module will ignore the anti-pinch switch. A key cycle will then allow the glass to close and operate by pressing and holding the control switch (manual mode) for open or close.
