1. Power Sunroof/Sunshade Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The sunshade control switch is connected directly to the controller and provide detent positions for open, express open, off, close, and express close. The control switch completes the circuit between two signals provided by the control module, a reference ground Input and a pull-up voltage provided by the analog to digital switch input. The control switch places a different resistor ladder network in the circuit depending on the function selected. The controllers analog to digital switch input reads the resulting voltage range and determines the function.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B369B 02

The sunshade module has detected and reported via the LIN-Bus that the sunroof sunshade position select switch circuit is shorted to ground.

B369B 05

The sunshade module has detected and reported via the LIN-Bus that the sunroof sunshade position select switch circuit is open or shorted to voltage.

B369B 59

The sunshade module has detected and reported via the LIN-Bus that the sunroof sunshade position select switch has been the same active position for 20 s after the glass has stopped moving in the requested direction due to reaching the end of the allowable motion.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC B369B is stored in the body control module (BCM) memory.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The BCM no longer detects a malfunction in the sunroof sunshade position select switch signal circuit.

Circuit/System Testing

Note: Because of the accessibility of the sunshade switch, perform the component testing before beginning the Circuit/System Testing.

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  3. If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool sunroof/sunshade switch is Inactive
  5. If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 4 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K62 Sunroof Sunshade Module.
  6. Install a 5 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 and the ground circuit terminal 1. Verify the scan tool sunroof/sunshade switch is short to ground.
  7. If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K62 Sunroof Sunshade Module.
  8. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.

Component Testing

Static Test

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.
  2. Test for 460-480 kΩ between the switch terminals 1 and 4.
  3. If not within the specified range, replace the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.
  4. Test for 230-250 Ω between the signal terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 4 while pressing the open switch.
  5. If not within the specified range, replace the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.
  6. Test for 75-95 Ω between the signal terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 4 while pressing the express open switch.
  7. If not within the specified range, replace the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.
  8. Test for 410-430 Ω between the signal terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 4 while pressing the close switch.
  9. If not within the specified range, replace the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.
  10. Test for 330-350 Ω between the signal terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 4 while pressing the express close switch.
  11. If not within the specified range, replace the S90 Sunroof Sunshade Switch.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
