SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SLIDING ROOF SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

(a) The sliding roof system controls the sliding roof operation using the sliding roof drive gear sub-assembly (sliding roof ECU). Operating the map light assembly sliding (slide roof switch) results in electrical power being transmitted to the sliding roof drive gear sub-assembly (sliding roof ECU).

FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT

The sliding roof system consists of the following components:

Key-off operation function

The key-off operation function makes it possible to operate the sliding roof for approximately 43 seconds after the power switch is turned from on (IG) to off, if the front doors are not opened.

Key-linked function*

  • When the key is not in the vehicle, the driver door is unlocked, and the driver door key cylinder is turned and held in the unlock position for 2.5 seconds or more, the sliding roof drive gear sub-assembly (sliding roof ECU) activates the sliding roof motor to open the sliding roof while the key is turned.
  • When the key is not in the vehicle, the driver door is locked, and the driver door key cylinder is turned and held in the lock position for 2.5 seconds or more, the sliding roof drive gear sub-assembly (sliding roof ECU) activates the sliding roof motor to close the sliding roof while the key is turned.

HINT:

This function is linked with the power window key-linked function.

Wireless transmitter-linked function

  • When the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) receives an unlock signal from the wireless transmitter continuously for longer than 4 seconds, the sliding roof drive gear sub-assembly (sliding roof ECU) activates the sliding roof motor to open the sliding roof while the wireless transmitter switch is being pressed.
  • When the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) receives a lock signal from the wireless transmitter continuously for longer than 4 seconds, the sliding roof drive gear sub-assembly (sliding roof ECU)activates the sliding roof motor to close the sliding roof while the wireless transmitter switch is being pressed.
