PINPOINT TEST B : The Roof Opening Panel Does Not Open or Close - Sliding Glass Panel

  1. B1 CHECK THE POWER WINDOW OPERATION

    • Ignition ON.
    • Verify the power windows operate.

    Do the power windows operate? 

    Yes  GO to  B2.
    No  Go to Pinpoint Test G or Go to Pinpoint Test K .
  2. B2 CHECK THE FRONT SLIDING GLASS PANEL MOTOR FOR INITIALIZATION

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  GO to  B3.
    No  The system is operating normally at this time. The front sliding glass panel motor was not initialized.
  3. B3 CHECK THE ROOF OPENING PANEL CONTROL SWITCH

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Roof Opening Panel Control Switch.

    Is the roof opening panel switch OK? 

    Yes  GO to  B4.
    No  INSTALL a new roof opening panel switch. Refer to Roof Opening Panel Control Switch .
  4. B4 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE FRONT SLIDING GLASS PANEL MODULE

    • Disconnect Roof Opening Panel Module.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  B6.
    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  6. B6 CHECK THE SLIDING GLASS CONTROL CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  CHECK the overhead console jumper harness for loose pins or an open in the affected circuit(s) between the glass smartmotor and overhead console C921. If the overhead console jumper harness is not OK, INSTALL a new overhead console jumper harness. If the overhead console jumper harness is OK, GO to  B7.
    No  REPAIR the affected circuit(s).

    Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    Yes  CHECK the overhead console jumper harness for loose pins or an open in the affected circuit(s) between the glass smartmotor and overhead console C921. If the overhead console jumper harness is not OK, INSTALL a new overhead console jumper harness. If the overhead console jumper harness is OK, GO to  B8.
    No  REPAIR the affected circuit(s).
  8. B8 CHECK THE ROOF OPENING PANEL MODULE FOR CORRECT OPERATION

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect and inspect the roof opening panel module connector.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminal - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the roof opening panel module connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new front sliding glass panel module. Refer to Roof Opening Panel Motor - Sliding Front Panel .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
