BODY COMPONENT

Model
'02 - '06 Camry

TSB REVISION NOTICE:
- December 13, 2005: 2006 model year 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 15, 2004: An additional reset procedure No. 4 is now included in the moon roof repair tips bulletin. 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. The Introduction and Reset Procedure Applicability have been revised. Applicable Vehicles information includes 2005 model year.
All previous versions of this TSB should be discarded.


TSB UPDATE NOTICE:
The information contained in this TSB supercedes TSB1181. The previous TSB1181 is now obsolete and 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.
3. The sliding roof will automatically move to full slide open and then reverse to the close position.
4. Release the switch.
5. 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:
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 4 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.

REPAIR TIPS:
1. The Repair Manual provides a reset procedure according to the plant where the vehicle was produced. TMC Camry VIN starts with "J". TMMK Camry VIN starts with "4."
2. If the reset procedure does not remedy the condition, then reset again. Disconnect the sliding roof harness from the sliding roof motor and wait for 3--5 minutes.

NOTE:
The sliding roof system must be reset each time the battery is disconnected.


3. If the glass parks in an over--flush or under--flush position with the roof:
A. Move the glass to the flush position by quickly tapping the switch.
B. Reset the system according to Repair Tips 1, 2, and 3 above.
