Roof Blind Motor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The roof blind motor is controlled by the switch located in the front overhead console. The roof blind motor receives power supply from the Passenger Junction Box (PJB) and communicates with the Body Control Module/Gateway Module (BCM/GWM) assembly through Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus.

The roof blind motor uses a drive gear which engages and drives two cables within a sleeved tube. The displaced cable is guided into a further two channels in the frame, which protect the cable and prevent it from snagging. The cables manufactured from rigid spring steel can pull as well as push the panel along the guides.

The roof blind motor has a thermal protection device in the control module software to protect them from overheating. The operating parameters can be read below.
