0 If result is correct, replace Astro Roof Control Module.

1. Check/repair LT BLU and LT GRN wires to Astro Roof Motor Assembly for and open or short to ground. If wires are OK or cannot be repaired, replace Astro Roof Motor Assembly.

D: LIMIT SWITCH TEST --------------------- Measure: RESISTANCE ------------------- AT: ASTRO ROOF CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR (Disconnected) ------------------------------------------------------ Condition: --------- 0 ignition Switch: OFF

0 Astro Roof: CLOSED

Measure Correct For Between Resistance Diagnosis ------- ---------- --------- 3 (RED) & 9 Less than 5 See 1 (YEL) ohms

0 Manually crank Astro Roof open using a 4 mm hex wrench.

*LATE PRODUCTION: VEHICLE BUILT AFTER (AND INCLUDING) VIN M4328196

3 (RED) & 9 Infinite See 2 (YEL)

3 (RED) & infinite See 3 Ground

0 If all resistances are correct, replace Astro Roof Control Module.

1. Check/repair RED and YEL wires to Astro Roof Motor Assembly for an open. If wires are OK or cannot be repaired, replace Astro Roof Motor Assembly.

2. Replace Astro Roof Motor Assembly.

3. Check/repair RED wire to Astro Roof Motor Assembly for a short to ground, If wire is OK or cannot be repaired, replace Astro Roof Motor Assembly.

#### CIRCUIT OPERATION

The Astro Roof Control Module determines Astro Roof Motor direction based on inputs received from the Astro Roof Switch. Voltage is applied to the Module at terminal C of connector C1, allowing Astro Roof operation whenever the Ignition Switch is at RUN or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is available.

#### Express Open

When the Astro Roof Control Module's reverse/close vent input is grounded through the Astro Roof Switch, the Module will go into the express open mode. When the Module is in the express open mode, voltage is applied to the Astro Roof Motor Assembly from terminal A of connector C1 of the Module. The Astro Roof Motor's ground is through terminal B of connector C1 of the Module.

#### ASTRO ROOF

#### TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

0 Try the following checks before doing the system check.

1. Check Circuit Breaker 23 by operating the Power Windows.

2. If Astro Roof does not operate during Retained Accessory Power (RAP), See Section 8A-15.

0 Go to System Check for a guide to normal operation.

0 Go to System Diagnosis fo diagnostic tests.

#### SYSTEM CHECK

0 Use the System Check Table as a guide to normal operation.

0 Refer to System Diagnosis for list of symptoms and diagnostic stops.

#### SYSTEM CHECK TABLE

#### ACTION

Turn the Ignition Switch to RUN. Momentarily press the Astro Roof Switch to REVERSE/CLOSE Vent position and release before roof is fully open

Press the Astro Roof Switch to the FORWARD/VENT position and release before Astro Roof is fully closed

Press and hold the Astro Roof Switch to the FORWARD/VENT position

Release the Astro Roof Switch and then press the switch again to the FORWARD/VENT position

Momentarily press the Astro Roof to the REVERSE/CLOSE VENT position and release before Astro Roof is closed

With all doors closed, start the engine. Turn engine off and remove key from the ignition Switch. Operate Astro Roof.

#### NORMAL RESULT

Astro Roof moves smoothly to the fully open position

#### NOTE: To abort the express open mode, press the Astro Roof Switch once in any direction

Astro Roof moves toward the closed position and stops when Astro Roof Switch is released

Astro Roof moves smoothly to the closed position and stops

Astro Roof moves to the vent position

Astro Roof moves to the closed position then stops

Astro Roof operates for approximately 10 minutes or until any door is opened

#### ASTRO ROOF

The Astro Roof Motor will run until one of three conditions occurs: 1) the Motor stalls when the Astro Roof reaches its fully open position: 2) the Astro Roof Switch is pushed to the FORWARD/VENT position; or 3) the Astro Roof Switch is released from the REVERES/CLOSE VENT position and then pressed again.

#### Vent

The Astro Roof will move to the vent position when the Astro Roof Control Module's forward/vent input (terminal 2) is grounded when the Astro Roof is in the flush closed position.

#### Closing

When the Astro Roof Control Module's forward/vent input is grounded through the Astro Roof Switch, the Module will apply voltage to the Astro Roof Motor Assembly from terminal B of connector C1. The Astro Roof Motor's ground is through terminal A of connector C1 of the Module.

The Astro Roof Control Module will run the Motor until the Astro Roof Switch is released or the Limit Switch closes, grounding the Module's limit switch input. The Limit Switch will close when the sunroof is in the flush closed position.

#### Express Close Vent

The Astro Roof will move to the flush closed position when the Astro Roof Control Module's reverse/close vent input is grounded when the Astro Roof is in the vent position. The Module will stop motor operation under the same conditions as outlined in express open.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
