TSB REVISION NOTICE:
^ December 12, 2005: 2006 model year has been added to Applicable Vehicles. The reset procedure for TMMK-built models has been standardized so that Reset Procedure 1 is no longer used when the negative (-) battery terminal is disconnected and/or the "PWR No. 1" fuse is removed. Instead, Reset Procedure 3 will be used. October 4, 2004: An additional Reset Procedure No. 4 has been added. Reset Procedure No. 4 corrects the issue of the moon roof (sliding roof) glass assembly reversing direction when the glass assembly makes contact with the wind deflector during the "slide close" cycle. Introduction, Reset Procedure Applicability, and Repair Tips sections have been revised. Applicable Vehicles now includes 2004 and 2005 model years.

All previous versions of this TSB should be discarded.

Warranty Information

Repair Procedure

Reset Sliding Roof Position

When the battery negative (-) terminal is disconnected or PWR No. 1 fuse is removed due to the repair, the sliding roof position memory is erased. After reconnecting the battery negative (-) terminal, make sure to reset the zero point. If the reset is not performed, the sliding roof automatic operation may not function properly.





Reset Procedure Applicability

Reset Procedure 1

1. To reset the zero point for the sliding roof, push and hold the switch on the TILT UP" side until the sliding roof tilts all the way up and down a little.

2. Confirm "one-touch slide open and close" and "one-touch tilt up and down" functions by pushing the switch briefly to the "SLIDE OPEN" and "TILT UP" sides.

NOTE:
See Repair Tips section.

Reset Procedure 2

1. Push and hold the switch on the "TILT UP/CLOSE" side until the sliding roof stops.

2. Continue to push and hold the switch on the "TILT UP/CLOSE" side for 10 seconds or more. The sliding roof will move to the fully closed position.

3. Continue to push and hold the switch on the "TILT UP/CLOSE" side until the sliding roof tilts all the way up and down a little.

4. Confirm "one-touch slide open and close" and "one-touch tilt up and down" functions by pushing the switch briefly to the "SLIDE OPEN" and "TILT UP" sides.

NOTE:
See Repair Tips section.

Reset Procedure 3

1. To reset the zero point for the sliding roof, push and hold the switch on the "TILT UP" side until the sliding roof tilts all the way up and down a little.

2. Release the switch, and within 5 seconds, re-push and hold the switch on the "TILT UP/CLOSE" side.

The sliding roof will automatically move to full slide open and then reverse to the closed position.

3. Release the switch.

4. Confirm "one-touch slide open and close" and "one-touch tilt up and down" functions by pushing the switch briefly to the "SLIDE OPEN" and "TILT UP" sides.

NOTE:
See Repair Tips section below.

Reset Procedure 4

1. Tap control switch to fully close moon roof.

2. Remove dome light assembly (forward of moon roof).

3. With battery connected and ignition "ON," disconnect wire harness to moon roof ECU and wait at least 15 seconds.

4. With ignition "ON," reconnect wire harness to ECU.

5. With ignition "ON," press and hold "TILT UP" button until glass assembly shudders or makes a click sound. After the glass assembly shudders or clicks, release "TILT UP" button.

NOTE:
If glass does not shudder or click, then ECU memory was not erased. Repeat steps 1 through 5 until unit shudders or clicks.

6. Within 5 seconds of releasing "TILT UP" button (end of step 5 above), press and hold "TILT UP" button again. Glass assembly will go through 1 cycle (glass will tilt down, slide to fully opened position, then slide to fully closed position).

7. As soon as the glass is fully closed, release "TILT UP" button. All functions are now reset.

8. Reinstall dome light assembly.
