REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

.

<<A>> DRAIN HOSE REMOVAL
Tie a cord to the end of the drain hose, and wind tape around
the tie until it is smooth. Then pull the drain hose out into the
wheel housing.

.

<<B>> SUNROOF MOTOR REMOVAL

CAUTION

Always close the roof lid glass fully before removing the
sunroof motor. If the fully-closed positions of the roof lid
glass and the sunroof motor are not the same, the sunroof
will not operate properly.
NOTE: If there is a problem with the sunroof motor so that the
roof lid glass cannot close fully, use an Allen wrench to turn the
gear section of the sunroof motor to fully close the roof lid
glass.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

.

>>A<< DRAIN HOSE INSTALLATION
1. Tie the cord that was used during removal to the end of the

drain hose, and wind tape around it until it is smooth.

2. Feed the drain hose through the wheel housing aperture.

>>B<< SUNROOF MOTOR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
<Mounting of removed sunroof motor assembly>
1. Placing the sunroof assembly at fully closed position, mount

the roof lid glass assembly and the sunroof motor assembly.

2. Connect the sunroof motor assembly connector and the

sunroof switch connector to the vehicle's wiring harness
connector.

NOTE: After installing the sunroof motor assembly, carry out
the operation check to confirm that the sunroof operates prop-
erly (Refer to

P.42-64

). If the sunroof does not operate prop-

erly, carry out the troubleshooting (Refer to

P.42-63

).

NOTE: If the sunroof anti-trap function works consecutively five
times, it will be cancelled. Once the function has been can-
celled, the sunroof motor assembly should be initialized (learn-
ing mode) in the same manner as for a new one.

.

<Mounting of a new sunroof motor assembly>
Install a new sunroof motor assembly in the same manner as
above. Then initialize (learning mode) the sunroof motor
assembly as follows:

CAUTION

In the following cases, repeat initialization (learning mode)
from step 1.

• The sunroof switch is released while sliding the roof lid

glass in steps 5 and 7.

• The sunroof open switch is pressed once, but does not

move to the fully open position.

• The sunroof motor assembly does not operate properly

after the initialization (learning mode).

1. Continue pushing the sunroof open switch and move the

roof lid glass to the fully open position.

2. When the sunroof close switch is pushed once, the roof lid

glass slides toward the closed position by 30 mm (1.2
inches), and stops automatically. Repeat this operation until
the roof lid glass is fully closed.

3. Push the sunroof close switch once so that the roof lid glass

tilts up fully.

4. Push the sunroof close switch for approximately three

seconds until a click is heard from the sunroof-ECU.

5. Continue to push the sunroof close switch until the roof lid

glass tilts down fully.

6. Push the sunroof open switch once so that the roof lid glass

open fully.

7. Continue to push the sunroof close switch until the roof lid

glass closes fully.

NOTE: The roof lid glass can be operated only by means of the
sunroof close switch from the fully closed position to the fully
tilt-up position during the initialization (learning mode). The roof
lid glass does not tilt up even if the sunroof tilt-up switch is
pushed during the initialization (learning mode).

NOTE: After the initialization (learning mode), carry out the
operation check to confirm that the sunroof operates properly
(Refer to

P.42-64

). If the sunroof does not operate properly,

repeat the initialization (learning mode). If the sunroof still does
not operate properly, carry out the troubleshooting (Refer to

P.42-63

).

INSPECTION

ROOF LID GLASS CIRCUIT CHECK

1. Remove the sunroof fuse and connect an ammeter as

shown in the illustration.

2. Press the sunroof switch to operate the sunroof, and then

measure the current while the roof lid glass is moving (not
when the sunroof starts to operate, when it is fully open,
when it is fully closed and when it is fully tilted up).

Standard value: 7 A or less [at 20

°C (68°F)]

3. If the measured current is outside the standard value, check

the following points.

• Installation condition, warping or jamming of sunroof

assembly

• Sticking of drive cable

• Tilt of roof lid glass
