  3. STEP 3. Check sunroof switch connector D-05 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 

    Q: Is sunroof switch connector D-05 in good condition? 

    • YES:  Go to Step 4.
    • NO:  Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION . Check that the sunroof works normally.
  4. STEP 4. Sunroof switch check 
    1. Remove the sunroof switch. Refer to SUNROOF  .
    2. Check continuity when the sunroof switch is operated to "OPEN", "TILT-UP" or "CLOSE/TILT-DOWN" position.
      SWITCH POSITION SPECIFICATION

      Switch position Terminal No. Normal value
      Tilt-up 3 -4 Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)
      OFF 3 -4, 4 -5, 4 -6 Open circuit
      Open 4 -5 Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)
      Close/tilt-down 4 -6 Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

      Q: Is the sunroof switch normal?

  5. STEP 5. Check the ground circuit to the sunroof motor assembly. Measure the resistance at sunroof switch connector D-05. 
    1. Disconnect sunroof switch connector D-05 and measure the resistance available at the wiring harness side of the connector.
    2. Measure the resistance value between terminal 4 and ground.
      • The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

        Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less? 

        • YES:  Go to Step  8.
        • NO:  Go to Step 6.
