Circuit/System Description
The sunroof control module supplies each of the sunroof switch signal circuits with a 12-volt reference. When a switch is pressed the signal circuit is pulled low signaling the sunroof open or close request. The module determines the motor direction based on inputs received from the sunroof switch.
Sunroof Motor/Actuator Initialization/Teach Process
Perform the initialization/teach procedure any time:
?€¢
A new sunroof motor/actuator has been installed.


?€¢
The existing sunroof motor/actuator has been removed and reinstalled.


?€¢
The sunroof system has suffered 3 interruptions for emergency events, i.e. anti-pinch, debris in tracks etc., and normal operation is canceled.

By performing the initialization/teach procedure, the sunroof motor/actuator records the open vent stop position. The motor/actuator will then understand the other positions, closed and full open soft stop, and allow express and obstacle detection functions.

  1. Ensure that all electrical harness connectors are connected.
  2. Turn the ignition to ON.
  3. Completely close the sunroof window with the manual close switch.
  4. Press the sunroof vent switch to the vent open position until the sunroof window stops, and continue holding the switch for at least 10 seconds.
  5. Important: The initialization/teach procedure is not complete if the battery and/or ignition power has been interrupted during the process.
    The Initialization/Teach Process must be restarted if the procedure is not carried out completely.
  6. Verify the operation of the sunroof in all positions.
If this does nothing !
Important: Because of the accessibility of the sunroof switch, perform the sunroof switch component test before beginning the Circuit/System Testing.
Power Sunroof Malfunction
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the sunroof control module.
  2. Test for less than 5.0 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
  3. ?‡'
    If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

  4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  5. ?‡'
    If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, replace the fuse and replace the sunroof control module.

  6. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 5 and ground.
  7. ?‡'
    If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, refer to Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Malfunction.

  8. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 6 and ground.
  9. ?‡'
    If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, refer to Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Malfunction.

  10. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the sunroof control module.
  11. Disconnect the harness connector at the sunroof switch.
  12. Test for less than 5.0 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
  13. ?‡'
    If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

    Important: Apply ground to the module for no longer than 2 seconds at a time or the module could be damaged.
    When performing the following tests, make sure that the sunroof or sunshade is not at its end of travel position by switching the grounded jumper to the other signal circuit if the sunroof or sunshade does not move in one direction.

  14. Ignition ON, momentarily install a 10-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 6 and ground. The sunroof should move.
  15. ?‡'
    If the sunroof does not move, test the signal circuit for a short to ground, short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test is normal, replace the sunroof control module.

  16. Momentarily install a 10-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground. The sunroof should move.
  17. ?‡'
    If the sunroof does not move, test the signal circuit for a short to ground, short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test is normal, replace the sunroof control module.

  18. With the sunroof in the fully closed position, momentarily install a 10-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground. The sunroof should vent open.
  19. ?‡'
    If the sunroof does not vent open, test the signal circuit for a short to ground, short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test is normal, replace the sunroof control module.

  20. Momentarily install a 10-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 8 and ground. The sunroof should close.
  21. ?‡'
    If the sunroof does not close, test the signal circuit for a short to ground, short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit test is normal, replace the sunroof control module.

  22. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the sunroof switch.

Sunroof switch location on a 2008 Yukon denali

Ok, so the first poster obviously didnt read the question and just posted the first thing he googled.

So I'll try.
You have a short, most likely on the actual drive motor itself or in the switch. I wouldn't bother with replacing the fuse again until you take the motor out or test the switch for a short.

My sunroof won't close

Some sunroofs have a open switch like the drivers window. You push it and the window will open automaticly. The button on your sunroof could be jammed so even though you can close it as soon as you release it, it will auto open on it's own.

My 1999 Malibu sunroof works when the weather is fairly warm but during cooler temps. the sunroof will partially open and not close.

2005 Chevy Equinox sunroof problems

Some customers may comment that the sunroof will no longer respond to the control switch while in a vented, partially opened, or fully opened position.
Cause A software issue with the sunroof control module may cause the sunroof control module to incorrectly indicate a "closed" position, which may result in no power to the sunroof motor.
Correction Verify the customer concern. If a condition is present, replace the sunroof control module with a new sunroof control module, P/N 15847643. Refer to the Service Procedure in this bulletin.
Service Procedure
  1. Verify the customer concern by opening and closing the sunroof. • If the sunroof will not open , check the power windows. - If the power windows are also inoperative, check the fuse. If the fuse has opened, refer to Corporate Bulletin Number 05-08-64-004 to install 30A circuit breaker. - If the power windows are fully functional, refer to "Power Sunroof Inoperative" diagnostics (SI Document ID# 1392967) in the Body section of the 2005 Chevrolet Equinox or Saturn VUE Service Manual. • If the sunroof will open (or is already open), but will not close , proceed to Step 2.
  2. Replace the sunroof control module. Refer to "Sunroof Control Module Replacement" procedure in the Body section of the 2005 Chevrolet Equinox Service Manual (SI Document ID# 1196049) or Saturn VUE Service Manual (SI Document ID# 1710479).
  3. Open and close the sunroof in order to confirm that the customer concern has been resolved.
