Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The Moveable Roof Control Module A (MRCMA) communicates on the MS-CAN.

Possible Sources
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals and connector
- MRCMA
Visual Inspection and Pre-checks
- Verify BJB fuse 17 (20A) is OK.

Z1 CHECK THE MOVEABLE ROOF CONTROL MODULE A (MRCMA) VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect: Moveable Roof Control Module A (MRCMA) C4830.

Ignition ON.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead

Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?

Yes

GO to Z2

No	VERIFY BJB fuse 17 (20A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the Introduction to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.

Z2 CHECK THE MOVEABLE ROOF CONTROL MODULE A (MRCMA) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

Ignition OFF.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
C4830-5	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground

Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?

Yes

GO to Z3

No	REPAIR the circuit.

Z3 CHECK THE MS-CAN (MEDIUM SPEED-CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK) CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE MOVEABLE ROOF CONTROL MODULE A (MRCMA) AND THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) FOR AN OPEN

Disconnect: GWM C2431.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
C4830-9	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	C2431-23
C4830-10	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	C2431-22

Are the resistances less than 3 ohms?

Yes

GO to Z4

No	REPAIR the circuit in question.

Z4 CHECK FOR CORRECT MOVEABLE ROOF CONTROL MODULE A (MRCMA) OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect the Moveable Roof Control Module A (MRCMA) connector.

Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

Reconnect the Moveable Roof Control Module A (MRCMA) connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.

Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes	CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new Moveable Roof Control Module A (MRCMA).

No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
