Verify that the white marking is visible in the new motor/module timing window. If the mark is not visible, connect a power
source to the motor/module and cycle the switch until the motor/module is in the closed position (white mark in window).
Check the B+ 40 amp fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM). If OK, go to Step No. 2. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit
or component as required and replace the inoperative fuse.
2.
Check the Accessory delay 20 amp fuse in the IPM. If OK, go to Step No. 3. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component
as required and replace the inoperative fuse.

4.
Disconnect the motor/module electrical connector. Using a voltmeter, check for Battery voltage at the B+ terminal of the
harness connector. If OK, go to Step No. 5. If not OK, repair the B+ circuit as necessary.
5.
With the ignition switch in the -RUN- position check for Battery voltage at the Accessory Relay Output terminal of the harness
connector. If OK, go to Step No. 6. If not OK repair the Accessory Relay Output circuit as necessary.
6.
Using an ohmmeter test for continuity between the harness connector ground circuit and a known good ground. Continuity
should be present. If OK go to Step No. 7. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit as necessary.
7.
Turn the ignition switch to the -OFF- position. Reconnect the motor/module electrical connector. With the ignition switch in the
-RUN- position check for battery voltage on the -VENT-, -CLOSE- and -OPEN- circuits at the back side of the motor/module
connector. If OK, go to Step No. 8. If not OK replace the motor/module assembly.
8.
Turn the ignition switch to the -OFF- position. Disconnect the motor/module and sunroof switch electrical connectors. Using an
ohmmeter check for continuity on the -VENT-, -CLOSE- and -OPEN- circuits between the motor/module and sunroof switch.
Continuity should be present. If OK, diagnose the sunroof switch. If not OK, repair the control circuits as necessary.

With the ignition key in the -RUN- position, check for battery voltage on the -OPEN-, -CLOSE- and -VENT- circuits of the
sunroof switch harness connector. If OK, go to Step No. 4. If not OK, inspect the wiring harness and connectors between the
motor/module and switch for damage and repair as necessary.

With the ignition key in the -OFF- position check for continuity between the ground circuit of the sunroof switch harness
connector and a known good ground. Continuity should be present. If OK, go to Step No. 5. If not OK, inspect the wiring
harness and connector and repair the ground circuit as necessary.
5.
Using an ohmmeter, test the continuity of the power sunroof switch in each switch position:
With sunroof switch off, there should be no continuity between pins

With Terminal 2 connected to the negative (-) battery terminal and Terminal 1 connected to the positive (+) battery terminal,
the motor should turn left.
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 operation current while the roof lid glass is moving
(except when the sunroof starts to operate, when it is fully open, when it is fully closed and when it is fully tilted up). Ammeter
should read 10 A or less.

And another:
Power is found at the dome light harness. All wires were ran up through the dome light opening and then
back down through the sunroof switch opening allowing us to place the module between the headliner and
roof through the dome light opening:
We wrapped the module in a piece of foam before stuffing it between the headliner and the roof:
We decided to wrap the module in foam before placing it between the headliner and the roof, through the
dome light opening. Once positioned the module did not move at all. It was wedged very tightly, with no
noticable bulges in the headliner. This was probably the hardest part, due to the small opening, and the
fact there is a piece of OEM foam blocking the way (It's a somewhat stiff foam).
I chose to solder all wires, although in this application there may be better methods. To protect the car we
laid a protective seat cover over the center console (drips) and for the headliner I ripped a piece of paper
to the middle, and then ran the wires through the rip. This left the paper in between my soldering iron and
the headliner, just in case.
As you can see in the pictures, I missed the ground wiring solering it, it slid down over the insulation and I
didn't notice. We tested the moduel before stuffing it in to the headliner and found the mistake. Always
check before putting everything back together!
Thats about it. I would think that this can be done in 45-60 minutes tops. JesteR and I spent closer to 90
mintues on it though, as we tested everything along the way, took pictures/movies, and took apart a
bunch of stuff that didn't need to come apart.
We made two movies, the first shows the sunroof opening and closing, the second shows the sunroof
closing and then tilting.
The sunroof can only be operated with the ignition switch in the ON position.
1- Open
2- Tilt up
3- Close, Tilt down
To open, press the switch (1).
To stop the moving sunroof, press switch (2) or (3).
Note
The sunroof automatically stops just before reaching the fully open position.
Press the switch again to fully open it.
To close, press the switch (3).
To stop the moving sunroof, press the switch (1) or (2).
To tilt up, press the switch (2).
The rear edge of the sunroof rises for ventilation.
To tilt down, press the switch (3).
Warning
Do not put head, hands or anything else out of the sunroof opening while driving the vehicle.
Never leave a child (or other person who might not be capable of safe operation of the sunroof switch)
in the vehicle alone.
Before operating the sunroof, make sure that nothing is capable of being trapped (head, hand, finger,
etc.).
