CONTROL SWITCH

DESCRIPTION

Vehicles equipped with a power sunroof utilize a sunroof control switch. On this model, the sunroof control switch is located in the overhead console, in between the two reading lamps. The switch is mounted in the overhead console with four plastic retaining tabs, molded into the switch housing.

This switch incorporates six selections of operation open, auto open, close, auto close, auto vent and vent. The individual switches in the sunroof control switch unit cannot be repaired. If one switch is damaged or faulty, the entire sunroof control switch unit must be replaced.

OPERATION

With the operation of the sunroof control switch, voltage is directed to the sunroof motor, through the switch contacts or control module. If the control switch is depressed and held depressed the voltage signal is controlled manually through the switch contacts, so when the switch is released the sunroof stops.

Refer to the Owner's Manual for more information on the operation of the sunroof switch and system.
