Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Because of the accessibility of the sunroof switch, perform the sunroof switch component test before beginning the Circuit/System Testing.
Power Sunroof Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the sunroof control module.
- Test for less than 5.0 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, replace the sunroof control module.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, refer to Retained Accessory Power Malfunction .
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the sunroof control module.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the sunroof switch.
- Interior lamps OFF, test for less than 10.0 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, momentarily install a 10 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 8 and ground. The sunroof should open.
- If the sunroof does not open, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test is normal, replace the sunroof control module.
- Momentarily install a 10 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground. The sunroof should close.
- If the sunroof does not close, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test is normal, replace the sunroof control module.
- With the sunroof in the fully closed position, momentarily install a 10 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground. The sunroof should vent open.
- If the sunroof does not vent open, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test is normal, replace the sunroof control module.
- Momentarily install a 10 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 6 and ground. The sunroof should close.
- If the sunroof does not close, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test is normal, replace the sunroof control module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the sunroof switch.
NOTE:
Apply ground to the module for no longer than 2 seconds at a time or the module could be damaged.
When performing the following tests, make sure that the sunroof or sunshade is not at its end of travel position by switching the grounded jumper to the other signal circuit if the sunroof or sunshade did not move in one direction.

Power Sunroof Express Feature Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the sunroof switch.
- Ignition ON, with the sunroof in the closed position, connect 3 A fused jumper wires between both signal circuits listed below and ground for less than 1 second. The sunroof should express open.
- Terminal 7
- Terminal 8
- If the sunroof did not express open, test the signal circuit terminal 7 for a short to voltage or an open high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the sunroof control module.
- Ignition ON, with the sunroof in the closed position, connect 3 A fused jumper wires between both signal circuits listed below and ground for less than 1 second. The roof should express open to the vent position.
- Terminal 1
- Terminal 4
- If the roof did not express open to the vent position, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to voltage or an open high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the sunroof control module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the sunroof switch.
