Motors And Cable And Guide Assemblies

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.

There are 2 motors that provide the movement of the roof opening panel glass, and 1 motor for moving the shield. Both glass motors are connected to both sides of the glass and operate simultaneously when opening or closing the roof opening panel. The roof opening panel shield motor is connected to both sides of the shield assembly. For the roof opening panel glass, the RH motor is the primary motor and the LH motor is the secondary motor. The center motor operates the roof opening panel shield. The glass primary motor is wired directly to the switch. The primary motor sends the signals from the switch to the secondary motor and to the shield motor on a K-BUS communication circuit. The K-BUS is used only for communication between the 3 motors, not for service diagnostics. The secondary motor has 4 circuits in a single connector. The shield motor receives the switch signal for shield controls and also the full system controls for the global open and the vent position. The shield motor communicates the global open and vent data on the K-BUS.

The roof opening cable and guide assembly is connected between the motors and the glass assembly with tubes that house the cables attaching to the front lifter arms providing the movement of the roof opening panel glass. The roof opening panel shield cable and guide assembly is similar except the end of the drive cables are connected directly to the shield assembly.
