2012 srx moon roof stuck in vent position
Most times when that happens it could be a mechanical blockage. In the tool kit that came with the car there should be a hex tool to manually close the roof. There should be an access panel at the front with a pop off cover. If you remove that cover there should be a female hex that the tool fits into to manually close the roof. If you have the female hex on the sunroof but no tool, most times the correct size allen/hex wrench will do in a pinch. Try opening the sunroof fully with the tool and verify there is nothing in the rails or lead screws the will keep it from closing fully. Also check for a blown fuse to the sunroof.

Your best bet take it to a qualified repair shop that has the diagnostic tool that can communicate with the lift gate control module , too check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's .
Liftgate Module
The liftgate module controls the liftgate motor, liftgate clutch, and liftgate latch based on various inputs. The liftgate module also performs diagnostics on these inputs and outputs and will disable liftgate functionality and set DTCs should a fault be detected. The liftgate module is secured to the motor assembly at the left rear of the vehicle. The module requires a liftgate position learn procedure be performed when replacing. This allows the module to learn the full open and full closed positions of the liftgate.

Reset computer disconnecting battery
The fact you say that disconnecting and resetting the computer tells me the following::
This sounds like it is going into "Limp mode" a mode the computer puts the vehicle into when it detects something is wrong , or sometime is programed to do this when the vehicle is way overdue for its service, I would suggest that you take it to a reputable dealer and ask them to read the computer to see what fualt codes are showing , this should help solve the mystery or at least point you in the right direction.
The onboard computer is forcing the vehicle into the "Limp Mode" your dealer yould know this and should have checked the onboard computer first

I have a p0008 code
P0008 CADILLAC - Engine Positions System Performance Bank 1
The ECM detects that both camshafts on either bank of the engine are
mis-aligned with the crankshaft for more than 4 seconds or a cumulative
of 50 seconds.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors the position of both camshafts
and the crankshaft. The ECM performs a test for misalignment between
both camshafts on one bank of the engine and the crankshaft. During the
test the ECM learns the position of the camshafts and the crankshaft.
While the engine is idling, the ECM compares the position of both the
camshafts and the crankshaft with the learned value. The ECM will set
the P0008 code if both learned values for one bank of the engine are
exceeding a calibrated threshold in the same direction.
Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
Possible causes
- Engine mechanical problems
- Incorrect timing chain
- Stretched timing chain
- Failed camshaft actuator or actuator solenoid
Tech notes
There is a factory service bulletin for the following Cadillac models:
2004-2008 Cadillac CTS SRX
2005-2008 Cadillac STS
The service bulletin suggest replacing the primary drive and both secondary drive timing chains. Contact your Cadillac dealer for more information. The repair could still be cover under factory warranty.
Hope this helps (remember to rate this answer).
