Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The sunshade control switch is connected directly to the controller and provide detent positions for open, express open, off, close, and express close. The control switch completes the circuit between two signals provided by the control module, a reference ground Input and a pull-up voltage provided by the analog to digital switch input. The control switch places a different resistor ladder network in the circuit depending on the function selected. The controllers analog to digital switch input reads the resulting voltage range and determines the function.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B369B 02

The sunshade module has detected and reported via serial data that the sunroof sunshade position select switch circuit is shorted to ground.

B369B 05

The sunshade module has detected and reported via serial data that the sunroof sunshade position select switch circuit is open or shorted to voltage.

B369B 59

The sunshade module has detected and reported via serial data that the sunroof sunshade position select switch has been the same active position for 20 s after the glass has stopped moving in the requested direction due to reaching the end of the allowable motion.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC B369B is stored in the body control module (BCM) memory.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The BCM no longer detects a malfunction in the sunroof sunshade position select switch signal circuit.

Circuit/System Testing

Note: Because of the accessibility of the sunshade switch, perform the component testing before beginning the Circuit/System Testing.

1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.

2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If 10 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K62 Sunroof Sunshade Motor Module.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the low reference circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms , test or replace the K62 Sunroof Sunshade Motor Module.

If less than 10 ohms

3. Ignition ON.

4. Test for 4.5-5.5 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 4 and ground.

If less than 4.5 V

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K62 Sunroof Sunshade Motor Module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the 5 V reference circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K62 Sunroof Sunshade Motor Module.

If greater than 5.5 V

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K62 Sunroof Sunshade Motor Module, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V, replace the K62 Sunroof Sunshade Motor Module.

If between 4.5-5.5 V

5. Test or replace the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.

Component Testing

Static Test

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.

2. Test for 3.3-4.0k ohms between the control terminal 4 and the low reference terminal 1.

If not between 3.3-4.0k ohms
Replace the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.

If between 3.3-4.0k ohms

3. Test for 390-480 ohms between the control terminal 4 and the low reference terminal 1 while pressing the open switch while pressing the open switch.

If not between 390-480 ohms
Replace the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.

If between 390-480 ohms

4. Test for 88-107 ohms between the control terminal 4 and the low reference terminal 1 while pressing the express open switch.

If not between 88-107 ohms
Replace the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.

If between 88-107 ohms

5. Test for 1.6-2.0k ohms between the control terminal 4 and the low reference terminal 1 while pressing the close switch.

If not between 1.6-2.0k ohms
Replace the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.

If between 1.6-2.0k ohms

6. Test for 840-1030 ohms between the control terminal 4 and the low reference terminal 1 while pressing the express close switch.

If not between 840-1030 ohms
Replace the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.

If between 840-1030 ohms

7. All OK
