SERVICE INFORMATION
If the sunroof of an Applied Vehicle operates without the switch being pushed, it may be because of water contamination of the sunroof motor assembly.
This could occur if the sunroof frame assembly is not draining correctly. A replacement sunroof frame assembly is available which allows for better
draining if this incident should occur.
Use the Service Procedure below to identify and repair the incident, if it should occur.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Fully open the sunroof glass.
2.
Remove the sunroof motor assembly (refer to the BT section of the appropriate Service Manual).
3.
Remove the plastic cover plate from the sunroof motor and inspect the circuit board:
^
If the circuit board is wet or is corroded, water is not draining correctly from the sunroof tray. Replacement of the sunroof motor AND the
sunroof tray with the one listed in the Parts Information section of this bulletin is needed.
IMPORTANT:
First, check the sunroof drains. See step 4 below.
^
If the circuit board is not wet or corroded, check for other possible causes of the incident. Refer to the EL section of the appropriate Service
Manual for diagnosis of the sunroof switch and/or its circuits.
