If the sunroof timer function does not work, the input circuit from the ignition switch (IG1) or the driver’s door switch, the communication lines between the ETACS-ECU and the sunroof motor assembly (sunroof-ECU), the sunroof motor assembly (sunroof-ECU) or the ETACS-ECU may be defective.

POSSIBLE CAUSES



  • Malfunction of the driver’s door switch
  • Malfunction of ETACS-ECU
  • Malfunction of the sunroof motor assembly (sunroof-ECU)
  • Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE


Step 1. Customize function by using the SWS monitor


Use the SWS monitor customize function to confirm that "KEY-OFF TMR T" is set to "W/O FUNCTION".

  • 30s
  • 3min.
  • 10min.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.
Use the SWS monitor customize function to set the "KEY-OFF TMR T" to "W/O FUNCTION" (Refer to ).

Step 2. ECU check on the SWS monitor.


Check that the power supply and earth lines to the sunroof motor assembly (sunroof-ECU) and the ETACS-ECU and the SWS communication lines are normal.

  • Ignition switch: OFF
  • Operate the sunroof switch.
note Operate within the period set by using the customisation function after the ignition switch is turned off.
ECUS TO BE CHECKED
  • ETACS ECU
  • SUNROOF ECU
OK: "OK" are displayed for all the items

Q. Are the check result normal?

"OK" are displayed for all the items : Go to Step 3.
"NG" is displayed on the "ETACS ECU" menu. : Refer to Inspection Procedure A-3 "Communication with the ETACS-ECU is not possible ."
"NG" is displayed on the "SUNROOF ECU" menu. : Refer to Inspection Procedure A-6 "Communication with the sunroof motor assembly (sunroof-ECU) is not possible ."

Step 3. Function diagnosis by using the SWS monitor.


Check the SWS communication signal, which are related to the sunroof.
