CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
- Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
- When the sliding roof ECU (sliding roof drive gear sub-assembly) is replaced or removed and reinstalled, it requires initialization (See page
).
CHECK SLIDING ROOF OPERATION
(a) Check the sliding roof auto operation (See page
).
OK:
Auto operation operates normally.
| NG | ![]() | GO TO STEP 3 |
|
CHECK DTC OUTPUT
(a) Clear the DTC (See page
).
(b) Recheck for DTCs.
OK:
DTC B2341 or B2344 is not output.
| OK | ![]() | USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK |
| NG | ![]() | REPLACE SLIDING ROOF ECU (SLIDING ROOF DRIVE GEAR SUB-ASSEMBLY) |
INITIALIZE SLIDING ROOF ECU (SLIDING ROOF DRIVE GEAR SUB-ASSEMBLY)
(a) Check that the sliding roof ECU (sliding roof drive gear sub-assembly) can be initialized (See page
).
OK:
Sliding roof ECU (sliding roof drive gear sub-assembly) can be initialized.
| NG | ![]() | GO TO STEP 5 |
|
CHECK DTC OUTPUT
(a) Clear the DTC (See page
).
(b) Recheck for DTCs.
OK:
DTC B2341 or B2344 is not output.
| OK | ![]() | END |
| NG | ![]() | REPLACE SLIDING ROOF ECU (SLIDING ROOF DRIVE GEAR SUB-ASSEMBLY) |
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SLIDING ROOF ECU - SLIDING ROOF SWITCH)
(a) Disconnect the P6 switch connector. |
