The sunroof and sunshade motor are interchangeable and configure themselves to either sunroof or sunshade operation through a configuration pin in the sunshade connector of the sunroof wire harness. Each sunroof motor is a reversible, 12-volt Direct Current (DC), permanent magnet motor with internal thermal protection.
Each motor is connected mechanically to the sunroof or sunshade drive gear through a right angle drive, gear reduction transmission. Each motor also is connected electrically to an on-board electronic control unit that has an integral connector receptacle that connects the unit to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the sunroof wire harness.
The sunroof motor or sunshade motor cannot be repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire motor must be replaced. Refer to MOTOR, SUNROOF, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
