Sunroof error and FIX!

uabimmer · 07-17-2009, 05:57 PM

HEy guys thanks a bunch , i was almost pulling my hair out because of this issue... but now its all fixed

Willy325i · 07-23-2009, 12:53 AM

Worked like charm, really neat tip. E90 325i 2007, just make sure car is running (Engine ON)

E90_Owner · 08-18-2009, 03:31 PM

I had this issue for the past month. My warranty expired about 6 months ago and I was certain that the dealer would charge me an arm and a leg to fix this. So glad you posted this hack. Sure enough, I did exactly what you said and the issue is resolved -- for free!!!

Thanks for making my week!

Sunroof went out on the first day of the year, glad I searched before calling the dealership. Will try it tonight.

God I love this website. Had regular maintenance coming up anyways but good to know it was an easy DIY fix! Thanks

Tegs4tugs · 02-21-2010, 06:05 PM

thanks, this helped me out when i blown my sunroof fuse

ZuerstBMW · 02-24-2010, 11:20 PM

Thank you!!! Malfunction popped up on me on the way to work. Thanks to this post, it saved me a trip to the dealer as well.

USC2000 · 04-02-2010, 10:42 PM

Going to have to try this tomorrow morning. Hope it works. Sunroof doesn't sit flush when closed.

Fixed my anti-trap error! Saved me a trip the dealer.

Grazie per lei,

thank you for the information, it worked as long as i kept my car (well, engine) running.

Ciao,
Tommi

This is initializing the sunroof...I can do it with my BT scanner. I didn't know there was a manual way to do it.

Check to see if anything is blocking it...my friends sunroof had a walnut or acorn or something wedged into the track and it wouldn't shut all the way.

chicagolab · 07-03-2010, 09:27 AM

Just happened to me last night. At dinner I was so upset trying to figure out when I could make time to bring the car in. Tried this easy reset and problem solved. Now, no dealer hassle needed!

Thanks

yep.. initialising the sunroof correct..
all the way back to the E36

M3forJHV · 01-17-2011, 02:18 PM

I have tried this fix-it solution several times and nothing seems to work for my sunroof. When I hold the tilt button, the sunroof will partially tilt and won't do anything else. I have to keep hitting the tilt button for the sunroof to crack or even move a 1/2". I thought it was the motor for the sunroof but now I have no clue? BMW would like an arm and a leg just to look at it, of course.

bobbettafish · 01-21-2011, 01:57 PM

Thank you!

Hedges · 04-07-2011, 08:21 AM

This is what mine did two months ago so i bought it in for service oil change and told the SA to fix it at the same time. He said its easy fix but i forgot to ask him how he did it so now i'm having this same problem so I will try this out today!

S i n i s t e r · 05-07-2011, 01:17 PM

Thanks for the find! Just did mine after getting the code last night out of nowhere.

Jeff340 · 07-19-2011, 09:44 PM

Thanks, glad it was an easy fix...I was just defending bmws to someone who told me it was a money-pit, thought I was going to have to eat my words for a second...just for the record, I would drive it even if it was a money-pit

JB-BMW · 07-20-2011, 06:15 PM

This has help me out. I was just about to take it into the dealer. thanks!
