Toyota Repair: sunroof, moon roof, full tilt


Question
My sunroof for my 2007 camry is stuck in the vent position. When I turn the car of it goes up and down 4 to 5 times and then stays in the up position. The buttons are all lit up so I know it is able to function but I cannot get it to go down to close or open up completely. How do I re-synch it or re-initialize my sunroof?

Answer
NOTE
• Make sure that there is no foreign matter on the guide rail
• Make sure that the guide rails are not deformed
NOTE
• Do NOT switch any electrically powered systems ON and OFF during initialization
• If battery voltage fluctuates by 0.5V or more, initialization will fail
• Permanent ECU damage will occur if power is disconnected while the moon roof motor is
operating
• Do NOT move the vehicle during re-initialization.
• Do NOT apply strong force to the vehicle during the re-initialization, such as closing the doors.
Before beginning this procedure, make sure the moon roof is fully closed.
NOTE
If moon roof does NOT close automatically, close moon roof manually. To do this, quickly press
and release the switch until the moon roof is fully closed.
1. Switch ON the ignition(IG) by pressing the START/STOP button twice or turn the engine key
to IG position.
2. Push and hold the TILT UP switch until the moon roof reaches the full tilt up position, then
release the switch.

NOTE
The tilt up position is the starting point for the moon roof motor to re-learn the positions.
3. Push and hold the TILT UP switch again. After approximately 10 seconds, moon roof will begin
the initialization procedure. DO NOT release the switch until the procedure is complete. The
moon roof will tilt down, slide open, slide close and stop at the fully closed position. At this point
the initialization is complete and the tilt up switch may be released.
NOTE
If the TILT UP switch is released during the procedure, the buttons may not operate properly.
The moon roof will have to be operated manually to start the procedure over again.
4. Confirm that the AUTO operation features work for slide open, slide close, tilt up, and tilt down.
