Synchronizing sliding /pop-up roof, function

MODEL

163 with CODE (414a) Electric glass sliding/pop-up roof

Synchronization is necessary to match the counter status of the
position counter with the actual position of the sliding /pop-up roof in
the evaluation electronic module for the sliding /pop-up roof (M12).
Synchronization is required when the sliding /pop-up roof (M12)
has been disconnected from the power supply or a malfunction has
occurred during position measurement resulting in
desynchronization.
In the desynchronized state the evaluation electronic module in the
sliding /pop-up roof (M12) cannot recognize the position of the roof.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this case control is possible only to a limited extent; it is only
possible to open the pop-up roof for synchronization.

Synchronizing
When the sliding /pop-up roof (M12) is moved to the mechanical
end position "pop-up roof open" in the desynchronized state, the
evaluation electronic module recognizes that the motor is locked up
and then performs synchronization; the position counter is set to "0"
and the sliding /pop-up roof can then be operated again without
limitations.

Phased in

The thickness of the friction disks has been increased by 0.5 mm and
the thickness of the steel disks reduced by 0.7mm.
This improves heat dissipation and prevents shift judder
The clearance adjustment has not changed.
