SUNROOF
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: Keep fingers and other body parts out
of sunroof opening at all times.
The sun roof features consists of: (Fig. 1)
²Sun roof glass
²Sun roof sun shade
The sunroof power sliding glass panel and sun-
shade can be positioned anywhere along its travel,
rearward of glass panel front edge.
The sunroof is electrically operated from a switch
located in the overhead console. To operate the sun-
roof the ignition switch must be in the Accessory or
On/Run position. Both switchs are a rocker style
design that open or close the sunroof. When pressing
and releasing the open button once, the sunroof will
express open to the comfort stop and the wind deflec-
tor will raise. If the button is pressed a second time,
the sunroof will continue to open to full travel unless
the button is released, at which time it will stop in
that position. Pressing and holding the close button
will close the sunroof. If the close button is released
before the glass fully closes, the sunroof will stop in
that position. The vent switch operates in a similar
manor. The sunroof will also operate for up to fifteen
minutes after the ignition key is turned off for cus-
tomer comfort and convenance while parking.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SUNROOF DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Refer to Sunroof Diagnostic Chart for possible
causes. Before beginning sunroof diagnostics verify
that all other power accessories are in proper operat-
ing condition. If not, a common electrical problem
may exist. Refer to Wiring Diagrams, in this publica-
tion for circuit, splice and component descriptions.
Check the condition of the circuit protection (20 amp
circuit breaker in the Junction Block). Inspect all
wiring connector pins for proper engagement and
continuity. Check for battery voltage at the power
sunroof controller, refer to Wiring Diagrams, for cir-
cuit information. If battery voltage of more than 10
volts is detected at the controller, proceed with the
following tests (the controller will not operate at less
than 10 volts).
Before beginning diagnosis for wind noise or water
leaks, verify that the problem was not caused by
releasing the control switch before the sunroof was
fully closed. The sunroof module has a water-man-
agement system. If however, the sunroof glass is in a
partial closed position, high pressure water may be
forced beyond the water management system bound-
aries and onto the headlining.

WATER DRAINAGE AND WIND NOISE DIAGNOSIS
The sliding glass panel is designed to seal water
entry with a snug fit between the roof and the seal.
The fit can be checked by inserting a piece of paper
between the roof and the seal. The piece of paper
should have some resistance when pulled out when
the glass panel is in the closed position. Excessive
wind noise could result if the gap clearances are
exceeded. The sunroof glass panel may need to be
adjusted. Refer to Sunroof Glass Panel Adjustment
for proper procedures.
Adequate drainage is provided by a drain trough in
the sunroof housing which encircles the sliding glass
panel and leads to drain hoses. If a wet headliner or
other water leak complaints are encountered, before
performing any adjustments, first ensure that the
drainage system is not plugged or disconnected. Use
a pint container to pour water into the sunroof hous-
ing drain trough. If water flow is restricted in any of
the four drain holes, use compressed air to blow out
any material plugging the drain system. Retest sys-
tem again.
To further check for a disconnected drain hose:
(1) Remove A-pillar trim, sun visors, and map
lamps/mini console.
(2) Remove sunroof opening trim lace. Refer to
Sunroof Opening Trim Lace.
NOTE: Care must be taken not to fold or kink the
headliner upon removal.
(3) Lower headliner as necessary to gain access to
sunroof housing drain tubes. Refer to Headlining
Removal and Installation for proper procedures.
(4) Repair as necessary.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Two different automatic temperature control (ATC)
heating-A/C systems are available for this model
depending on the market.
The Dual-Zone ATC system allows the driver and
front occupants to each select individual comfort tem-
peratures.
The Three-Zone ATC system allows both the driver
and front occupants and the rear intermediate occu-
pants to select individual comfort temperatures.
NOTE: Individual comfort temperatures are the per-
ceived temperature level at the individual seating
areas, NOT the actual passenger compartment air
temperature.
The ATC system includes a particulate air filter.
The filter element is the same size as the A/C evap-
orator to ensure ample capacity. A door at the base of
the HVAC housing below the glove box provides easy
access to the filter element.
The ATC computer utilizes integrated circuitry and
information carried on the programmable communi-
cations interface (PCI) data bus network to monitor
many sensors and switch inputs throughout the vehi-
cle. In response to those inputs, the internal circuitry
and programming of the ATC computer allow it to
control electronic functions and features of the ATC
system. The inputs to the ATC computer are:
²Vehicle Speed/Engine RPM± The ATC com-
puter monitors engine rpm, vehicle speed and mani-
fold absolute pressure information from the
powertrain control module (PCM).
²Coolant Temperature± ATC computer moni-
tors coolant temperature received from the PCM and
converts it to degrees Fahrenheit.
²Ambient Temperature± ATC computer moni-
tors ambient temperature from the compass mini trip
computer (CMTC) and converts it to degrees Fahren-
heit.
²Engine Miscellaneous Sensor Status±ATC
computer monitors A/C disable information from the
PCM.
²Refrigerant Pressure± ATC computer moni-
tors barometric pressure, intake air temperature,
high side pressure and methanol content as broad-
cast by the PCM.
²Door Ajar Status± The ATC computer moni-
tors driver front door, passenger front door, left rear
door, right rear door and liftgate ajar information, as
identified by the body control module (BCM), to
determine if all in-car temperatures should be main-
tained.²Dimming± The ATC computer monitors dim-
ming status from the BCM to determine the required
level of brightness and will dim accordingly.
²Vehicle Odometer± The ATC computer moni-
tors the vehicle odometer information from the BCM
to prevent flashing the vacuum-flourescent (VF) dig-
ital display icons if the manual motor calibration or
manual cool down tests have failed. Flashing of the
display icons will cease when the vehicle odometer is
greater than 3 miles.
²English/Metric± The ATC computer monitors
the English/Metric information broadcast by the
CMTC. The set temp displays for both the front and
rear control heads will be set accordingly.
²Vehicle Identification Number± The ATC
computer monitors the last eight characters of the
VIN broadcast by the PCM and compares it to the
information stored in EEPROM. If it is different, the
new number will be stored over the old one and a
motor calibration shall be initiated.
²A/C System Information± The ATC computer
will send a message for evaporator temperature too
low, fan blower relay status, evaporator sensor fail-
ure, rear window defogger relay and A/C select.
FRONT CONTROL PANEL
The front A/C-heater control and integral computer
is mounted in the instrument panel and contains:
²a power button which allows the system to be
completely turned off. The display is blank when the
system is off.
²a rocker switch that selects a cool-down rate.
LO-AUTO or HI-AUTO are displayed when the sys-
tem is in automatic operation.
²three rocker switches that select comfort temper-
atures from 15É to 30É C (59É to 85É F), which are
shown in the VF digital display. If the set temp is 15É
C (59É F) and the down button is pressed, the set
temp value will become 13É C (55É F) but the display
will show LO. If the set temp is 29É C (85É F) and the
up button is pressed, the set temp value will become
32É C (90É F) but the display will show HIGH. Tem-
peratures can be displayed in either metric or Fahr-
enheit, which is controlled from the overhead console.
²an air conditioning button that allows the com-
pressor to be turned off. A Snowflake symbol is illu-
minated when air conditioning is on, whether under
manual or automatic control.
²an air recirculation button. A Recirculation sym-
bol appears in the display when the button is
pressed, or when the system exceeds 80 percent recir-
culated air under automatic control due to high air
conditioning demand.
²a rear window defogger on/off switch. A graphic
symbol shows when the defroster is on.

²computer logic which remembers the settings of
the controls when the ignition is turned off and
retains those settings after a restart. If the system is
off when the ignition is turned off it will be off when
the engine is restarted, etc.
²computer logic which provides variable air recir-
culation under high temperature and humidity condi-
tions. Because recirculation is generally accompanied
by increased fan noise, the proportion of recirculated
to outside air gradually approaches full recirculation
over a broad temperature range.
²computer logic which enables additional heat for
diesel equipped vehicles by using a supplemental
engine coolant heater.
REAR CONTROL PANEL
The Three-Zone ATC sytem utilizes a rear control
panel centrally mounted on the headliner which
includes a VF digital display, a rocker control for
temperature and rotary controls for adjustment of
mode and fan speed of the rear heating-A/C system
by intermediate seat passengers.
OPERATION
HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER
The heating and air conditioning systems pulls
outside (ambient) air through the cowl opening at the
base of the windshield and into the plenum chamber
above the heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) housing, then through the evaporator coil.
Air flow can be directed either through or around the
heater core by adjusting the blend door with the tem-
perature control knob on the A/C-heater control
located on instrument panel. The air flow can then
be directed out from the panel, floor and defrost out-
lets in various combinations using the mode control
knob located on the A/C-heater control. Air flow
velocity can be adjusted with the blower speed selec-
tor located on the A/C-heater control.
NOTE: It is important to keep the air intake opening
clear of debris. Leaf particles and other debris that
is small enough to pass through the cowl opening
screen can accumulate within the HVAC housing.
The closed, warm, damp and dark environment cre-
ated within the housing is ideal for the growth of
certain molds, mildews and other fungi. Any accu-mulation of decaying plant matter provides an addi-
tional food source for fungal spores, which enter
the housing with the fresh intake-air. Excess debris,
as well as objectionable odors created by decaying
plant matter and growing fungi can be discharged
into the passenger compartment during heater-A/C
operation if the air intake opening is not kept clear
of debris.
The heater and air conditioning system is a blend-
air type system. In a blend-air system, a blend door
controls the amount of conditioned air that is allowed
to flow through, or around, the heater core. The tem-
perature control knob determines the discharge air
temperature by actuating an electric motor, which
operates the blend door. This allows an almost imme-
diate control of the output air temperature of the sys-
tem.
On all models, the outside air intake can be shut
off by pressing the Recirculation button on the A/C-
heater control. This will operate a electric actuated
recirculation air door that closes off the outside fresh
air intake and recirculates the air that is already
inside the vehicle.
The air conditioning compressor can be engaged in
any mode by pressing the snowflake, A/C on/off but-
ton. It can also be engaged by placing the mode con-
trol in the mix to defrost positions. This will remove
heat and humidity from the air before it is directed
through or around the heater core. The mode control
knob on the A/C-heater control is used to also direct
the conditioned air to the selected system outlets.
The mode control switch uses an electric motor to
control the mode doors.MANUAL SINGLE ZONE
²The temperature control knob enables continu-
ously variable proportioning of the conditioned air.
²The mode control knob enables continuously
variable proportioning of air flow between modes and
has detents adjacent to each icon.
²The blower control provides four separate speeds
and an Off position.
²When the heater-A/C system is off, the HVAC
computer closes the recirculation door to prevent out-
side air from entering the passenger compartment.
²Interior air may be recirculated to speed up
heating or cooling in all modes except defrost and
mix by pressing the Recirculate button on the A/C-
heater control.
²To reduce humidity for rapid defogging, the A/C
compressor runs automatically in modes from ªmixº
to full defrost when outside temperatures are above
freezing.
²Air conditioning is available in any mode by
pressing the snowflake, A/C on/off button.
