A few months back the sunroof started playing up. Not auto opening or closing, just moving a little bit with each press :confused:
Checked the fuses, just in case. nope. Sitting in carpark today waiting for the wife and googled for a fix, IT WORKED !!!! :facejump:
For some reason the sunroof had 'forgot' its settings and they needed to be re-learned/re-taught (similar to some vehicles power windows).
Fix reposted here for ease and source link provided at the bottom.
SUNROOF INITIALIZATION (LEARNING MODE)
a. Press the sunroof OPEN switch, and continue to press this switch until the sunroof is in the fully-open position.
b. Pressing the sunroof CLOSE switch will move the sunroof approximately 30 mm (1.2 in) toward the closed position before stopping automatically. Repeatedly press the sunroof CLOSE switch until the sunroof is in the fully-closed position.
c. Press the sunroof CLOSE switch until the sunroof is in the full tilt-up position.
d. With the sunroof glass in the full tilt-up position, depress the sunroof CLOSE switch for about 3 seconds until a clicking sound is heard from the sunroof ECU.
e. Continue to depress the sunroof CLOSE switch and move the sunroof glass lid to the full tilt-down position.
f. Depress the sunroof OPEN switch once to slide the sunroof to the fully open position.
g. Press the sunroof CLOSE switch to make sure the sunroof glass closes normally.
NOTE: During initialization, the sunroof will only close with the CLOSE switch if the glass is in the fully closed through full tilt-up positions. If the sunroof tilt-up switch is depressed during initialization, the roof glass will not move to the tilt-up position.
NOTE: After initialization (learning mode), check to ensure that the sunroof operates properly. If the sunroof does not operate properly do the initialization steps again. If the sunroof still does not operate, further diagnosis of the motor/ECU assembly and related circuitry is needed. Refer the the service manual and TSB-02-54-001 to diagnose and repair the sunroof motor circuit.http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-how-tos-installations/483959-how-reinitialize-sunroof.html
