Title: SLIDING ROOF / CONVERTIBLE: PANORAMIC MOON ROOF SYSTEM: INITIALIZATION; 2019 - 2024 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [11/2018 -        ]

INITIALIZATION

INITIALIZE PANORAMIC MOON ROOF SYSTEM (SLIDING ROOF)

NOTICE:

  • When the sliding roof glass sub-assembly, sliding roof housing panel or slide roof rail sub-assembly is adjusted or removed/installed, or the sliding roof ECU (sliding roof drive gear assembly [sliding roof]) is replaced, the sliding roof ECU (sliding roof drive gear assembly [sliding roof]) must be initialized. If initialization is not performed, the auto operation function, jam protection function, key-off operation function, key-linked function, wireless transmitter-linked function and sliding roof open warning function may not operate, or the sliding roof may move in reverse or become misaligned.
  • During initialization, do not apply a physical shocks, such as opening/closing a door or driving the vehicle at 5 km/h (3 mph) or more, to the vehicle and do not perform any electrical operations.
  • Make sure not to turn the ignition switch to ACC or off during initialization.
  • If the sliding roof ECU (sliding roof drive gear assembly [sliding roof]) is replaced, DTC B2343 will be stored. Clear the DTC after initialization.

HINT:

  • The slide switch is built into the map light sub-assembly.
  • If the auxiliary battery has been replaced, it is not necessary to initialize the sliding roof ECU (sliding roof drive gear assembly [sliding roof]).
  • If both the sliding roof ECU (sliding roof drive gear assembly [sliding roof]) and roof sunshade ECU (sliding roof drive gear assembly [roof sunshade]) are not initialized, perform initialization of the sliding roof ECU (sliding roof drive gear assembly [sliding roof]) to initialize the sliding roof ECU (sliding roof drive gear assembly [sliding roof]) and roof sunshade ECU (sliding roof drive gear assembly [sliding roof]) simultaneously.

(a) Perform initialization according to the table below.

Condition of Sliding Roof

Proceed to

Auto slide open and close/tilt up and down functions do not operate.

Procedure A

Auto operation function operates, but the sliding roof does not stop at the correct position (misalignment occurs).

Procedure B

Auto operation function operates, but the sliding roof moves in the reverse direction during slide close operation, or the sliding roof moves in the reverse direction during tilt down operation.

Procedure C

(1) Procedure A

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  2. Slide and hold the slide switch forward until the sliding roof stops at the fully closed position.
  3. Slide and hold the slide switch forward until the following operation completes.

    The sliding roof and roof sunshade move in the following order: pause approximately 10 seconds*1 → sliding roof opens approximately 150 mm (5.906 in.) → sliding roof starts closing → sliding roof stops at the fully closed position → sliding roof tilts up → sliding roof tilts down*2 → roof sunshade starts closing → roof sunshade stops at the fully closed position*3.

    NOTICE:

    • If the switch is released before the sliding roof tilts down*2, turn the ignition switch off and perform procedure A from the beginning.
    • If the switch is released before the roof sunshade is fully closed*3, operate the roof sunshade switch and fully close the roof sunshade to complete initialization.

    HINT:

    *1: If the sliding roof does not start opening after pausing for approximately 10 seconds, release and slide the slide switch forward until this operation completes.

  4. When the roof sunshade stops in the fully closed position, initialization is complete.
  5. Confirm that the sliding roof auto operation function operates normally.

(2) Procedure B

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  2. Slide and hold the slide switch forward for 0.3 seconds or more to start the sliding roof auto operation function.
  3. Wait until the auto operation completes, then slide and hold the slide switch forward until the following operation completes.

    The sliding roof and roof sunshade move in the following order: pause approximately 10 seconds*1 → sliding roof opens approximately 260 mm (10.2 in.) → sliding roof starts closing → sliding roof stops at the fully closed position → sliding roof tilts up → sliding roof tilts down*2 → roof sunshade starts closing → roof sunshade stops at the fully closed position*3.

    NOTICE:

    • If the switch is released before the sliding roof tilts down*2, turn the ignition switch off and perform procedure A (initialization for sliding roof) from the beginning.
    • If the switch is released before the roof sunshade is fully closed*3, operate the roof sunshade switch and fully close the roof sunshade to complete initialization.

    HINT:

    *1: If the sliding roof does not start opening after pausing for approximately 10 seconds, release and slide the slide switch forward until this operation completes.

  4. When the roof sunshade stops in the fully closed position, initialization is complete.
  5. Confirm that the sliding roof auto operation function operates normally.

(3) Procedure C

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  2. Slide and hold both the slide switch and the roof sunshade switch forward for 10 seconds or more until the following operation completes.

    The sliding roof and roof sunshade move in the following order: pause approximately 10 seconds*1 → sliding roof opens approximately 150 mm (5.906 in.) → sliding roof starts closing → sliding roof stops at the fully closed position → sliding roof tilts up → sliding roof tilts down*2 → roof sunshade starts closing → roof sunshade stops at the fully closed position*3.

    NOTICE:

    • If the switch is released before the sliding roof tilts down*2, turn the ignition switch off and perform procedure A from the beginning.
    • If the switch is released before the roof sunshade is fully closed*3, operate the roof sunshade switch and fully close the roof sunshade to complete initialization.

    HINT:

    *1: If the sliding roof does not start opening after pausing for approximately 10 seconds, release and slide the slide switch forward until this operation completes.

  3. When the roof sunshade stops in the fully closed position, initialization is complete.
  4. Confirm that the sliding roof auto operation function operates normally.

INITIALIZE PANORAMIC MOON ROOF SYSTEM (ROOF SUNSHADE)

NOTICE:

  • When the roof sunshade ECU (sliding roof drive gear assembly [roof sunshade]) or sunshade trim sub-assembly is replaced or removed and installed, the roof sunshade ECU (sliding roof drive gear assembly [roof sunshade]) must be initialized (pulse sensor initial position setting), as the roof sunshade position cannot be determined. If initialization is not performed, the auto operation function, jam protection function, key-linked function, wireless transmitter-linked function and key-off operation function may not operate, or the roof sunshade may move in reverse or become misaligned.
  • During initialization, do not apply a physical shocks, such as opening/closing a door or driving the vehicle at 5 km/h (3 mph) or more, to the vehicle and do not perform any electrical operations.
  • Make sure not to turn the ignition switch to ON or off during initialization.
  • If the roof sunshade ECU (sliding roof drive gear assembly [roof sunshade]) is replaced, DTC B2343 is stored. Clear the DTC after initialization.
