Inspection Procedure 1




INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1: Sunroof does not work at All.

CAUTION:
Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power supply circuit, the ground circuit and the communication circuit are normal.










CIRCUIT OPERATION

Malfunctions of the sunroof motor assembly power supply/ground system, sunroof motor assembly, or sunroof switch are suspected.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

- The sunroof switch may be defective
- The sunroof motor assembly may be defective
- The wiring harness or connectors may have loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Required Special Tools:

- MB992006: Extra fine probe
- MB991223: Harness set
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicles Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
- MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, read CAN bus the diagnostic trouble code.





(1)
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III) Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes."
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Check whether the CAN bus lines related DTC is set.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the DTC set?

YES Repair the CAN bus line CAN Bus Diagnostics Chart).

NO Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code.





(1)
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

Connect scan tool MB991958. Refer to "How to connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III) Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes."
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Check whether the sunroof motor assembly related DTC is set.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the DTC set?

YES Diagnose the sunroof motor assembly. Refer to Diagnostic trouble code chart Sunroof System.

NO Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check sunroof switch connector D-05 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q. Is sunroof switch connector D-05 in good condition?

YES Go to Step 4.
NO Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Harness Connector Inspection. Check that the sunroof works normally.
STEP 4. Sunroof switch check

(1)Remove the sunroof switch. Refer to Removal and Replacement.





(2)Check continuity when the sunroof switch is operated to "OPEN", "TILT-UP" or "CLOSE/TILT-DOWN"
position.





Q. Is the sunroof switch normal?

YES Go to Step 5.

NO Replace the sunroof switch. Check that the sunroof works normally.

STEP 5. Check the ground circuit to the sunroof motor assembly. Measure the resistance at sunroof switch connector D-05.

(1)Disconnect sunroof switch connector D-05 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 ohms or less.

Q. Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES Go to Step 8.

NO Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check sunroof motor assembly connector D-06 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q. Is sunroof motor assembly connector D-06 in good condition?

YES Go to Step 7.
NO Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Harness Connector Inspection. Check that the sunroof works normally.
STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between sunroof switch connector D-05 (terminal 4) and sunroof motor assembly connector D-06 (terminal 1).

Q. Is the wiring harness between sunroof switch connector D-05 (terminal 4) and sunroof motor assembly connector D-06 (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.
STEP 8. Check sunroof motor assembly connector D-06 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q. Is sunroof motor assembly connector D-06 in good condition?

YES Go to Step 9.
NO Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Harness Connector Inspection. Check that the sunroof works normally.
STEP 9. Check the ground circuit to the sunroof motor assembly. Measure the resistance at sunroof motor assembly connector D-06.

(1)Disconnect sunroof motor assembly connector D-06 and measure the resistance available at the wiring harness side of the connector.





(2)Measure the resistance value between terminal 2 and ground.

- The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.

Q. Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES Go to Step 11.

NO Go to Step 10.

STEP 10. Check the wiring harness between sunroof motor assembly connector D-06 (terminal 2) and ground.

Q. Is the wiring harness between sunroof motor assembly connector D-06 (terminal 2) and ground 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.
STEP 11. Retest the system.

Check that the sunroof works normally.

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES No action is necessary and testing is complete.
NO Replace the sunroof motor assembly. Check that the sunroof works normally.
