ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

SUNROOF LEAKAGE CHECK

M1426000900401

Check the sunroof for leakage as follows:
1. Close the roof lid glass fully.

2. Using tap water, adjust the water pressure so that 

the height of water spouted out from the end of a 
hose is approximately 50 cm with the end of the 
hose facing up.

AC303362 AB

Hose

Approx
30 cm

3. Apply tap water to the weatherstrip from 

approximately 30 cm above the roof surface for 5 
minutes or longer.

4. While applying water, check the vehicle interior for 

any trace of leakage. If any leakage from around 
the roof lid glass is collected by the drip section, 
there is no problem.

SUNROOF ALIGNMENT

M1426001000412

1. Close the roof lid glass fully.

2. Open the sun shade fully.

AC506534 AB

3. Loosen the roof lid glass assembly mounting 

screws. Adjust the roof lid glass height by moving 
the roof lid glass assembly along the sunroof lid 
guide oblong hole so that the clearance between 
the roof lid glass and the vehicle body is even 
throughout the circumference.

4. After adjustment, check that the sunroof operates 

smoothly.

SUNROOF SAFETY FUNCTION CHECK

M1426004400550

1. Close the roof lid glass while placing an 

approximately 10 mm thickness wood chip at right 
angles with the roof lid glass.

2. Check to see if the sunroof motor assembly turns 

in the opposite direction and the roof lid glass 
opens when the roof lid glass touches the wood 
chip. If any problem occurs, perform 
troubleshooting (Refer to 

P.42A-145

).

SUNROOF OPERATION CHECK

M1426002600600

Check to see that the sunroof operates by pressing 
the sunroof switch. If it does not operate, perform 
troubleshooting. Refer to

SUNROOF ASSEMBLY

BODY

1. Remove the sunroof fuse to check that it is 

normal, and then connect a circuit tester as 
shown.

2. Operate the sunroof switch to ON, and measure 

at the intermediate section other than the sunroof 
activated, fully opened, and fully opened 
positions.

Standard value: 7 A or less (at 20

°C)

3. Check the following areas if the operating current 

of the sunroof lid glass exceeds the standard 
value.

• Sunroof assembly assembling state, deformation 

and biting of any foreign substances.

• Drive cable fastening

• Tilting of sunroof lid glass

LEARNING PROCEDURES OF THE 
SUNROOF FULLY CLOSED POSITION

M1426004600491

SHIFTING CONDITIONS FOR THE FULLY 
CLOSED POSITION ADJUSTMENT MODE

• When shifting to the forced fully closed position 

adjustment mode

How to shift to the forced fully closed position adjust-

ment mode

1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
2. With the roof lid glass stopped (the position of 

the roof lid glass can be any position between 
fully opened and fully closed), press and hold 
the up switch for 10 seconds.

• When the anti-trap function (safety mechanism) 

is activated consecutively five times

• When the position information may be incorrect 

due to abnormal power supply during the sunroof 
operation

NOTE: When installing the sunroof assembly, or 
installing/replacing the sunroof motor assembly, 
operate the forced fully closed position adjustment 
mode to adjust the fully closed position.

HOW TO ADJUST THE FULLY CLOSED 
POSITION

<FORCED FULLY CLOSED POSITION 
ADJUSTMENT MODE>

1. With the roof lid glass stopped (the position of the 

roof lid glass can be any position between fully 
opened and fully closed), press and hold the up 
switch.

NOTE: If operating the up switch moves the sun-
roof normally, use the open switch to fully open 
the roof lid glass. After the roof lid glass stops, 
press and hold the up switch.

2. Use the up switch to set the roof lid glass to the 

tilt-up position. The roof lid glass activates for 
approximately 30 mm and stops automatically 
when the switch is pressed once. Repeat this 
operation until the tilt-up position is reached and 
hold there for 3 seconds so that the fully closed 
position learning is completed.

<SUCH AS WHEN THE SAFETY 
FUNCTION IS ACTIVATED 
CONSECUTIVELY FIVE TIMES>

Use the up switch to set the roof lid glass to the tilt-up 
position. The roof lid glass activates for approxi-
mately 30 mm and stops automatically when the 
switch is pressed once. Repeat this operation until 
the tilt-up position is reached and hold there for 3 
seconds so that the fully closed position learning is 
completed.

HOW TO ADJUST THE FULLY CLOSED 
POSITION

<FORCED FULLY CLOSED POSITION 
ADJUSTMENT MODE>

1. With the roof lid glass stopped (the position of the 

roof lid glass can be any position between fully 
opened and fully closed), press and hold the up 
switch.

NOTE: If operating the up switch moves the sun-
roof normally, use the open switch to fully open 
the roof lid glass. After the roof lid glass stops, 
press and hold the up switch.

2. Use the up switch to set the roof lid glass to the 

tilt-up position. The roof lid glass activates for 
approximately 30 mm and stops automatically 
when the switch is pressed once. Repeat this 
operation until the tilt-up position is reached.

3. After the roof lid glass has reached the tilt-up 

position, press and hold the up switch for five 

seconds.
