Circuit/System Description
n
The sunshade electrical system uses a master/slave configuration utilizing a serial data based system for
ag

communication. The body control module (BCM) is designated as the master, while the sunshade control
modules is configured as the slave.

As the system master, the BCM uses the serial data communication bus to enable or disable sunshade
i

operation, communicate vehicle information to each controller, and request sunshade movement. The
rd

sunshade control module provides system status and diagnostic information to the BCM for diagnostic
reporting and operational purposes. The control switches places a different resistor ladder network in the
circuit depending on the function selected. The controllers analog to digital switch input reads the resulting
ca

voltage range and determines the function.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON/Vehicle in Service Mode.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Circuit/System Description
.c
The sunroof electrical system uses a master/slave configuration utilizing a serial data based system for
communication. The body control module (BCM) is designated as the master, while the sunroof control
n
modules is configured as the slave.
ag

As the system master, the BCM uses the serial data communication bus to enable or disable sunroof
operation, communicate vehicle information to each controller, and request sunroof movement. The sunroof
control module provides system status and diagnostic information to the BCM for diagnostic reporting and
operational purposes. The control switches places a different resistor ladder network in the circuit depending
i
rd

on the function selected. The controllers analog to digital switch input reads the resulting voltage range and
determines the function.

Diagnostic Aids
ca

The sunroof glass is controlled by an integrated motor/controller containing the motor, electronics, and
position sensors. If the motor and sunroof mechanism get out of sync the sunroof may operate
erratically. To re-synchronize the motor and sunroof mechanism, perform the Sunroof/Sunshade Motor
Initialization.
The sunroof control module provides obstacle/blockage detection. If the Sunroof/Sunshade Motor
Initialization is not carried out completely, the sunroof may stop and reverse slightly when it gets to
the location where it needs to push down the windscreen. Make sure to complete the process.

1. Power Sunshade Malfunction

Circuit/System Description
.c
The sunshade electrical system uses a master/slave configuration utilizing a serial data based system for
communication. The body control module (BCM) is designated as the master, while the sunshade control
n
modules is configured as the slave.
ag

As the system master, the BCM uses the serial data communication bus to enable or disable sunshade
operation, communicate vehicle information to each controller, and request sunshade movement. The
sunshade control module provides system status and diagnostic information to the BCM for diagnostic
reporting and operational purposes. The control switches places a different resistor ladder network in the
i
rd

circuit depending on the function selected. The controllers analog to digital switch input reads the resulting
voltage range and determines the function.

Diagnostic Aids
ca

The sunshade glass is controlled by an integrated motor/controller containing the motor, electronics,
and position sensors. If the motor and sunshade mechanism get out of sync the sunshade may operate
erratically. To re-synchronize the motor and sunshade mechanism, perform the Sunroof/Sunshade
Motor Initialization.
The sunshade control module provides obstacle/blockage detection. If the Sunroof/Sunshade Motor
Initialization is not carried out completely, the sunshade may stop and reverse slightly when it gets to
the location where it needs to push down the windscreen. Make sure to complete the process.

2022 Buick Encore GX | | Roof |

Encore GX Service Manual N America 14739426 Sunroof | Description and Operation |
Document ID: 5132297

Sunroof Description and Operation

Note: Not all sunroof systems use an electrically controlled sunshade.

To view the locations of the sunroof system components, refer to Master Electrical Component List

The sunroof system consists of a glass panel, sunshade, sunroof motor/module, sunshade
motor/module or manual sunshade, sunroof slide and/or tilt switches, sunshade switch, and the body
control module (BCM). The electrical portion of the system controls the movement of the sunroof and
sunshade (if equipped). The BCM communicates with the sunroof and sunshade motor/module to enable
or disable sunroof and sunshade operation. The sunroof and sunshade motors/modules provide system
status and diagnostic information to the BCM for diagnostic reporting and operational purposes. The
sunroof and sunshade are each controlled by the integrated motor/controller containing the necessary
electronics, motor, hall effect position sensors, as well as the interface to the driver control switches.
Each motor/controller is capable of controlling motion based on control switch activation and commands
from the BCM. The sunroof and sunshade operation is interdependent on some vehicles, in which case
they are controlled by the BCM. If the system is overloaded, the power supply is temporarily cut off.

om
Sunroof and Sunshade Control Switches

The sunroof slide, tilt, and sunshade slide open/close operations are controlled by switches. Some
switches may support express open/close operation. Not all vehicles are equipped with all three
.c
switches and the behavior of the sunroof for each switch press is vehicle dependent. Some
vehicles may have a tilt switch while others may have a vent feature linked to the slide switch.
Not all vehicles are equipped with an electrically controlled sunshade, thus lacking the sunshade
gn
switch.

System Protection
ia

Normal operation of the sunroof system may be altered when system protection is engaged.

Obstacle or Blockage Detection

rd

Obstacle detection is active while the sunroof or sunshade opening is approximately 4–200 mm
(0.16–7.87 in) when moving in the closing direction. When an obstacle is detected in this range,
the motion in the closing direction will stop and the sunroof/sunshade will reverse direction for a
ca

short distance. The reversal will complete regardless of operating mode. If the travel is outside
the range defined above, the sunroof/sunshade motor will continue closing until it detects a motor
stall condition or the system is at one of the defined stops.

Motor Stall

If the sunroof or sunshade is moving in the open or close direction and stops moving for 350 ms
while a command is active, and no obstacle has been detected, the motor will be turned off to
prevent overheating.

Sunroof System Thermal Protection

The sunroof/sunshade controllers have a thermal protection algorithm to protect the

sunroof/sunshade controls and motors from damage due to overheating conditions resulting from
immoderate switch actuations. The thermal protection algorithm will cause any new
sunroof/sunshade open commands to be ignored until the motors cool. A defined number of close
requests are allowed during an over temperature condition. If the thermal protection is triggered
during an obstacle detection event, the sunroof/sunshade reversal will finish first.

Sunroof and Sunshade Coordination

4/26/23, 10:05 AM Sunroof Description and Operation

For vehicles with an electrically controlled sunshade, the BCM will command the sunshade to open
to predefined positions based on the requested sunroof position. This interaction may also prohibit
the sunshade from closing past these points depending on the sunroof position. Faults on the
sunroof or sunshade motor/module circuits will disable the system.

Opening

If the sunroof is opened anywhere between the fully closed and vent position, the BCM will
command the sunshade to a minimum open position provided that the sunshade is not opened
adequately at the time of the sunroof command. If the sunroof receives an open or express open
command beyond vent position, the BCM will command the sunshade to open approximately
halfway if the sunshade is not opened adequately. This position corresponds to a point behind the
leading edge of a fully opened sunroof glass.

Closing

The sunshade can only be closed completely with the sunshade switch if the sunroof is completely
closed. If the sunroof is opened past the vent position, the sunshade will not be allowed to close
past the halfway point.

Service Tool Commanded Open

om
When a service tool commands the sunshade to open, it results in the sunshade moving to the
half way position or to the fully open position depending on the calibration. If the half way point is
calibrated on, this position is as far as the sunshade can be opened with the service tool. To go
beyond this point a switch activation must be used.

Rear Sunshade Operation .c

If equipped, the rear window sunshade is controlled by a switch with open, close, express open,
gn
and express close functionality.
