Sliding Roof System: Initialization

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Toyota Camry Solara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INITIALIZATION OF SLIDING ROOF MOTOR 
    1. The sliding roof AUTO operation and the jam protection function may not operate normally if the battery is disconnected/reconnected, replaced or recharged. Initialize the sliding roof system using the method below.
      1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
      2. Initialize the sliding roof by pressing and holding the TILT UP switch until the roof glass tilts upward fully (the roof glass automatically tilts downward slightly after fully tilting upward).
      3. Release the switch.

      HINT:

      If the battery terminal is disconnected, the ECU of the sliding roof motor may not detect the position of the roof glass. If the sliding roof AUTO operation is still disabled even after the sliding roof motor initialized, the hall IC may be malfunctioning. The hall IC is built into the sliding roof motor assy and detects the roof glass position.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the drive gear assy (sliding roof ECU).
