Sliding Roof System: Initialization
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus IS F. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INITIALIZING SLIDING ROOF DRIVE GEAR SUB-ASSEMBLY NOTE: After the sliding roof drive gear is replaced, the pulse sensor of the sliding roof drive gear needs to be initialized. If a initializing is not executed, the sliding roof cannot be tilted or controlled by turning the switch to position [2] to [8].
- Turn the engine switch on (IG)
- Press and hold the sliding roof push switch until the following operations are completed.
- The sliding roof moves to the tilt fully open position and remains for 1 second.
- Tilt down operation starts After the roof is fully closed, it starts sliding to open
- After the roof slides to the fully open operation, the operation stops and then the roof closes to the fully closed position.SWITCH CONDITION CHART
Switch Condition Sliding Roof Position [1] Over stroke position [2] Slide fully open position [A] [3] Slide stop position [B] (Comfort stop position) [4] Slide stop position [C] [5] Slide stop position [D] [6] Slide stop position [E] [7] Slide stop position [F] [8] Slide stop position [G] [9] Fully closed position [H] [10] Tilt fully open position [11] Fully closed → comfort stop position
Open position → fully closed
- Check that the operation works normally with auto operation.NOTE:
- If the battery voltage changes during initialization, the sliding roof ECU may not be initialized normally.
- Do not apply excessive loads to the vehicle during initialization by performing operations such as locking the doors or cranking the engine.
- Do not turn the engine switch off during initialization.
- Do not move the vehicle during initialization.
- Do not apply strong impacts to the vehicle during initialization by performing operations such as closing the doors forcefully.
- RESET FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
HINT:
The following operation should be used when the sliding roof cannot be fully closed.
- If the jam protection function is operated repeatedly, the fail-safe function will not activate. To return to the normal condition, push the sliding roof switch assembly at position [11] for 10 seconds or more
- FORCED INITIALIZATION CLEARING
HINT.
The following operation should be used if it is necessary to clear the learned position of the sliding roof
- The learned position of the sliding roof is stored in an EEPROM Even after the cable has been disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, the position will remain stored in memory In order to clear the position, perform the following steps
- Turn the engine switch on (IG)
- Make sure that there is no foreign matter on the guide rails.
- Make sure that the guide rails are not deformed.
- Set the sliding roof switch to position [9] and confirm that the sliding roof does not reverse*1
- After the sliding roof stops, to prevent the sliding roof from moving, quickly turn the sliding roof switch to position [1] and hold it there for 10 seconds or more*2
- Clearing the learned position of the sliding roof is complete when the sliding roof moves slightly to the opening direction.
- To confirm that the learned position has been cleared, make sure that auto operation does not start when the sliding roof switch is set to any position from [2] to [8].
- Start initialization of the sliding roof drive gear sub-assembly
HINT
*1: If the sliding roof reverses due to jam protection operation, it can be moved to fully closed position by pressing and holding the sliding roof switch [11] Make sure to set the sliding roof to the fully closed position before proceeding to the next step
*2: If the sliding roof moves while rotating the sliding roof switch, restart the Forced Initialization Clearing procedure from the first step
- The learned position of the sliding roof is stored in an EEPROM Even after the cable has been disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, the position will remain stored in memory In order to clear the position, perform the following steps
