Sunroof / Moonroof Switch: Description and Operation
Overhead Console
The power sunroof switch is a combination pushbutton and rocker switch located in the overhead console in between the two reading lamps. The switch
is mounted in the overhead console with four plastic retaining tabs, molded into the switch housing. The sunroof switch is a direct contact unit that is
directly wired to the sunroof motor/module assembly. The sunroof switch performs the following functions:
-
Power sunroof open
-
Power sunroof auto open
-
Power sunroof closed
-
Power sunroof vent
The power sunroof switch cannot be repaired. If the individual components are damaged or inoperative the switch assembly must be replaced.
The sunroof is electrically operated from two switches located on the windshield header, rearward of the map lamp. The "VENT" switch is a push button
type switch and opens the sunroof to the vent position only. The other switch "OPEN/CLOSED" is a rocker type switch for opening and closing the
sunroof. Pressing and releasing the open button once, the sunroof will express open and the wind deflector will raise. If the button is pressed a second
time the sunroof will stop in that position. Pressing and holding the close button will close the sunroof. If the close button is released the sunroof will
stop in that position.
The switch is grounded at on terminal and receives a 5 volt signal from the sunroof motor/module on the remaining three terminals. The switch pulls
down the 5 volt reference voltage from the module signaling it to perform the desired function.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector
pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
