Testing Electrical Components

Make sure that during the test of electrical components the Inalfa EVENT Spoiler is connected to a 12V source.

If the roof is installed in a car, the battery needs to be connected and operable. During test period, the ignition/accessory switch must be on. This test can be accomplished with a voltage meter or test light.

Inspect and make sure that the fuses are not blown.

Cable harness and motor inspection requires the removal of the headliner.

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.

Frequently Answers and Questions

How do I operate the sunroof?
The sunroof can be operated in two modes: Continuous and One Touch™. In Continuous mode, you can operate the sunroof by holding down the operating switch in either direction. Releasing the switch will stop the glass panel immediately. In One Touch™ mode, you can operate the sunroof without holding the operating switch down. You can cancel One Touch™ mode by activating the switch again.
What is the Auto Close function?
The Auto Close function allows the sunroof to close automatically when switching off the vehicles ignition. During the Auto Close function, simply depress the switch to cancel. This will return the glass panel to the position it was in prior to the start of the Auto Close function, depressing the switch again will reactivate the Auto Close.
What is the Protective Stop Position?
The Event Spoiler Sunroof is also protected against obstructions fixated on top of the car. If the glass panel hits a hard object it will stop moving immediately. After removing the object from the roof of the car bring the roof to the full open position and hold the switch for five (5) seconds, the glass panel will move to the original fully open position.
How do I reinitialize the SCU?
To re-initialize the SCU, turn on the ignition and operate the front button of the switch until you hear a relay clicking noise. To complete the re-initialization process, the glass panel must be moved to the fully opened position using One Touch™ mode.
