Section 418 (Sliding Roof System - Diagnosis): Pre-Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lexus RX 330. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. SLIDING ROOF SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 

    The sliding roof drive gear (sliding roof ECU) monitors switch signals from the sliding roof motor switch using a direct line and drives the motor built into the sliding roof drive gear (sliding roof ECU) according to the switch signals.

  2. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM 
    1. Inspect the DLC3.

      HINT:

      The vehicle's ECM uses ISO 9141-2 for communication.

      The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format.

      TERMINAL CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      7 (Bus+line) - 5 (Signal ground) During communication Pulse generation
      4 (Chassis ground) - Body ground Constant Below 1 Ω
      5 (Signal ground) - Body ground Constant Below 1 Ω
      16 (B+) - Body ground Constant 9 to 14 V

      HINT:

      If the screen displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE after you have connected the cable of the hand-held tester to the DLC3, turned the ignition switch ON and used the hand-held tester, there is a problem on the vehicle side or tester side.

      • If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle.
      • If communication is still impossible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tester itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the tester's manual.
    2. Check the battery voltage

      Standard: 11 to 14 V 

      If the voltage is below 11 V, replace the battery before proceeding.

  3. CHECK DTC 
    1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    4. Read DTCs by following the prompts on the tester screen.

      HINT:

      Refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.

  4. CLEAR DTC 
    1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Erase the DTCs following the prompts on the tester screen.

      HINT:

      Refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.

  5. DATA LIST 

    HINT:

    Using the DATA LIST displayed on the hand-held tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor, actuator, etc. without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as the first step of troubleshooting is one way to shorten the labor time.

    1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Read the DATA LIST according to the display on the tester.

  6. ACTIVE TEST 

    HINT:

    Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the hand-held tester allows you to operate the relay, VSV, actuator, etc. without parts removal. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as the first step of troubleshooting is one way to shorten the labor time. It is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST.

    1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Perform the ACTIVE TEST according to the display on the tester.

      Standard (Sliding roof ECU): 

      ITEM TEST DETAILS AND DIAGNOSTIC NOTE

      Item Test Details Diagnostic Note
      SLIDE ROOF Operate sliding roof CLOSE/UP Standard type
      SLIDE ROOF Operate sliding roof OPEN/DOWN Standard type
      SLIDE ROOF Operate sliding roof CLOSE Multi-panel moon roof type
      SLIDE ROOF Operate sliding roof OPEN Multi-panel moon roof type
  7. RESET SLIDING ROOF MOTOR (STANDARD TYPE) 
    1. The sliding roof may not operate automatically and the jam protection function will not function correctly after you reconnect, replace or recharge the battery. In any of these cases, reset the sliding roof system using the following method.
      1. Push and hold the slide switch toward the front or tilt switch on the rear side.
      2. Check that the sliding roof will tilt up and down, or slide open and close.
      3. After the slide operation, release the switch.
      4. Make sure that the sliding roof opens and closes automatically.

        HINT:

        If the battery terminal is disconnected, the ECU of the sliding roof motor may not detect the position of the sliding roof. If the AUTO operation function is still disabled even after the sliding roof motor is reset, the hall IC (built in the sliding roof motor assy) for detecting the roof glass position may be malfunctioning.

  8. RESET SLIDING ROOF MOTOR (MULTI-PANEL MOON ROOF TYPE) 
    1. The sliding roof may not operate automatically and the jam protection function will not function correctly after you reconnect, replace or recharge the battery. In any of these cases, reset the sliding roof system using the following method.
      1. Press the sliding roof switch on SLIDE CLOSE or TILT DOWN side and hold it. When the roof glass stops at the fully close position for 1 second, the motor has been reset.

        HINT:

        If the battery terminal is disconnected, the ECU of the sliding roof motor may not detect the position of the roof glass. If the AUTO operation function is still disabled even after the sliding roof motor is reset, the Hall IC (built in the sliding roof motor assy) for detecting the roof glass position may be malfunctioning.
