Hi
Heres the GM SI for sunroof diagnosis.

1
Did you perform the Power Sunroof System Check?
--
Go to Step 2


2
Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
Measure the voltage between the sunroof control module connector C2 terminal B and ground.
Leave the DMM connected after taking the measurement.
Does the voltage measure at the specified value?
VAlue = B+
yes = Go to Step 3
no = Go to Step 17

3
With the meter still connected, operate the sunroof switch.

Does the voltage measure at the specified value?
B+
yes =  Go to Step 4
no = Go to Step 17

4
Measure the voltage between the sunroof control module connector C2 terminal D and ground.
Operate the sunroof switch.
Is the voltage within the specified range?
Less than 300 mV
yes = Go to Step 5
no = Go to Step 18

5
Measure the voltage between the sunroof control module connector C2 terminal B and terminal D.
Operate the sunroof switch.
Does the voltage measure at the specified value?
B+
yes =  Go to Step 6
no = Go to Step 18

6
Measure the voltage between the sunroof switch connector terminal C and ground.

Is the voltage within the specified range?
4-6 V
yes = Go to Step 7
no = Go to Step 15

7
Measure the voltage between the sunroof switch connector terminal C and terminal F.

Is the voltage within the specified range?
4-6 V
yes = Go to Step 8
no = Go to Step 19

8
Measure the voltage between the sunroof switch connector terminal C and terminal F while operating the switch to the OPEN position.

Is the voltage within the specified range?
Less than 300 mV
yes = Go to Step 9
no = Go to Step 20

9
Measure the voltage between the sunroof switch connector terminal B and terminal F.

Is the voltage within the specified range?
4-6 V
yes = Go to Step 10
no = Go to Step 15

10
Measure the voltage between the sunroof switch connector terminal B and terminal F while operating the switch to the CLOSED position.

Is the voltage within the specified range?
Less than 300 mV
yes = Go to Step 11
no = Go to Step 20

11
Measure the voltage between the sunroof control module connector C2 terminal C and terminal D while operating the switch to the OPEN position.

Does the voltage measure at the specified value?
B+
yes =  Go to Step 12
no = Go to Step 13

12
Measure the voltage between the sunroof control module connector C2 terminal C and terminal D while operating the switch to the OPEN position.

Does the voltage measure at the specified value?
B+
yes = Go to Step 22
no = Go to Step 21

13
Measure the voltage between the sunroof control module connector C2 terminal A and terminal D while operating the switch to the CLOSED position.

Does the voltage measure at the specified value?
B+
yes = Go to Step 14
no = Go to Step 21

14
Measure the voltage between the sunroof control module connector C2 terminal A and terminal C while operating the switch to the CLOSED position.
Leave the DMM in place after making the measurement.
Does the voltage measure at the specified value?
B+
yes = Go to Step 22
no = Go to Step 21

15
Disconnect the sunroof switch.
With the DMM in place, measure the voltage again.
Is the voltage within the specified range?
4-6 V
yes = Go to Step 20
no = Go to Step 16

16
Leave the sunroof switch disconnected.
Disconnect the sunroof control module connector C1.
Measure the voltage between the control module terminal 6 and terminal 7.
Is the voltage within the specified range?
4-6 V
yes = Go to Step 24
no = Go to Step 21

17
