  5. STEP 5. Check the ground circuit to the sunroof motor assembly. Measure the resistance at sunroof switch connector D-04. 
    1. Disconnect sunroof switch connector D-04 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 Ω or less.

    Q: Is the measured resistance 2 Ω or less? 

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

  6. STEP 6. Check sunroof motor assembly connector D-05 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 

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

    • YES:  Go to Step 7.
    • NO:  Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION . Check that the sunroof works normally.
  7. STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between sunroof switch connector D-04 (terminal 4) and sunroof motor assembly connector D-05 (terminal 1). 

    Q: Is the wiring harness between sunroof switch connector D-04 (terminal 4) and sunroof motor assembly connector D-05 (terminal No. 1) in good condition? 

    • YES:  No action is necessary and testing is complete.
    • NO:  The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Check that the sunroof works normally.
  8. STEP 8. Check sunroof motor assembly connector D-05 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 

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

    • YES:  Go to Step 9.
    • NO:  Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION . Check that the sunroof works normally.
  9. STEP 9. Check the ground circuit to the sunroof motor assembly. Measure the resistance at sunroof motor assembly connector D-05.
