Some Accord models are equipped with a glass sun roof. This unit may also be referred to as a moon roof. Power sun roof is operated with ignition switch in "II" (ON) position. Sun roof slides rearward on all models. A permanent magnet type motor is used to operative a cable drive to open and close sun roof. If sun roof power drive fails, sun roof can be operated manually by using a socket inserted through access hole near drive motor.

MAINTENANCE
Periodically, pour a small amount of water into drain rails at edges of sun roof to ensure drain tubes remain clear. Water should drop from drain tubes at rear of right front and left rear wheel wells.

Periodic lubrication is not required. When components are removed for repair or replacement, apply multipurpose grease lightly to all moving parts, except cables. Use molybdenum grease on cable assemblies.

SUN ROOF HEIGHT
Roof panel should be even with glass weatherstrip within 0.02-0.06" (0.5-1.5 mm). If adjustment is required in front, pry out rail holder cover and loosen nut. Install or remove shims between frame and sunshade rail holder. If adjustment is required in rear, install or remove shims between guide rail and sunshade rail.

WIND DEFLECTOR
Open sun roof. Pry rail covers off both sides. Loosen mounting nuts. Adjust wind deflector forward or backward so deflector seal touches roof panel evenly across entire front edge. Measure wind deflector height from top edge of deflector to roof panel at center of deflector. Wind deflector height should be 0.7" (17 mm). Deflector arm cannot be adjusted. If arm or deflector is damaged, replace wind deflector assembly.

FUNCTION TEST
1. Carefully pry sun roof switch/cruise control switch out of instrument panel. Unplug connectors from switches. Connect jumper wire between Green/Yellow wire and body ground. Turn ignition switch to "II" position. If sun roof opens, check switch. If sun roof does not open, check foe open in Green/Yellow wire. Repair or replace as necessary.
2. Connect jumper wire between Green/Red wire and body ground. Turn ignition switch to "II" position. If sun roof closes, check switch. If sun roof does not open, check foe open in Green/Red wire.
3. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between Black wire and body ground. If no continuity exists, check for open in Black wire. Repair as necessary.

MOTOR TEST
Remove headliner. Unplug 2-pin connector from the motor. Using jumper wires, connect connector terminals to battery voltage and ground. Check for motor operation. Reverse jumper wires and retest. Replace motor if it does not operation in both directions.

RELAY TEST
Sun roof system is equipped with separate relays for opening and closing functions. Remove sun roof relay from dash fuse/relay box. Test continuity with an ohmmeter. Continuity should exist between terminals "B" and "C". Using jumper wires, connect terminals "D" and "E" to battery voltage and ground. If continuity does not exist between terminals "A" and "C", replace relay.

SWITCH TEST
Carefully remove sun roof switch from instrument panel. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance of switch terminals with switch in indicated positions. If continuity is not as specified, replace switch.
