Motor
Disconnect the motor wire from the SCU. If the mechanism is jammed remove the motor from the frame. Use a double wire of sufficient length, connect directly to battery and inspect the motor for proper operation in both directions. This is done by reversing the connection of the double wire. The motor has an inbuilt thermal cut-out device that automatically switches the motor off during periods of overload. After a cooling down period the motor will function properly.

SCU
Testing is covered in the electronic trouble chart. The following failures could be a result of a defective SCU
No action on continues operation
One Touch operation inoperative
Auto Close function inoperative
No action on continues operation
One Touch operation inoperative
After replacing the SCU, the SCU must then be re-initialized. Proceed with the electronic trouble chart if the problem is not solved by initialization.
Re-initialization of the SCU
To re-initialize, the following closed position must be defined.
Turn on ignition.
In the closed position operate the front button of the switch until the relay clicking noise is noticed (Max 5 seconds).
To complete the reinitalization process, the glass panel must be moved to the fully opened position using One Touch™ mode.
