Today on "Cars and Go Fast" with Tech Review by Irdi, we show you how to calibrate the sunroof on a 2014 Dodge Charger. This process translates to other Chrysler products like the Challenger, 300, and some other vehicles in the lineup. The directions on the process for the Chrysler Sunroof Calibration are listed below as well. So please LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE to get more tips and videos on "Cars and Go Fast".
STANDARD PROCEDURE
SUNROOF POSITION CALIBRATION
Let's begin:
Press the power sunroof switch (Open, Closed, and Vent). If no movement occurs when either the open switch or closed switch is pressed, but the system does move when the vent button is pressed and held, the system is not calibrated. Perform the following procedure to position calibrate the power sunroof system.
1. Turn the ignition to the RUN position.
2. Press the vent button on the power sunroof switch and hold until the sunroof glass panel has moved to the full vent position and the motor movement has stopped for at least 1 second.
3. Press the close switch on the power sunroof switch and hold for a moment (at least 100ms) and release. The sunroof glass panel should continue travel to the full close position. If the sunroof glass panel does not return to the full close position, refer to the appropriate diagnostic information for full system diagnosis.
4. Verify proper system operation.
EXCESSIVE FORCE LIMITATION (EFL) CALIBRATION
NOTE: Verify the battery is in good condition prior to performing this procedure. Do not leave the vehicle on
a battery charger while performing this procedure. If the voltage at the sunroof motor/module drops below
11 volts or exceeds 15 volts at anytime while this procedure is being performed, the Excessive Force Limitation
(EFL) function will not be properly calibrated.
1. Turn the ignition to the RUN position.
2. Press the vent button on the power sunroof switch and hold until the sunroof glass panel has moved to the full vent position and the motor movement has stopped for at least 1 second.
3. Press the close position on the power sunroof switch and release. The sunroof glass panel should continue travel to the full closed position. This will be considered the first sunroof closed position in a series of four sunroof closes.
4. Press the vent button on the power sunroof switch and release. The sunroof glass panel should move to the full vent position. After the sunroof motor/module has stopped, press the close position on the power sunroof switch and release. The sunroof glass panel should continue travel to the full closed position. This will be considered the second sunroof closed position in a series of four sunroof closes.
5. Continue to move the sunroof glass to the “vent” then “closed” positions two more times so that the sunroof glass has moved to the closed position a total of four times starting with the first sunroof close in step 3.
6. Press the open position on the power sunroof switch and release. The sunroof glass panel should continue travel to the full open position.
7. Press the close position on the power sunroof switch and release. The sunroof glass panel should continue travel to the full closed position. This will be considered the first sunroof closed position in a series of five sunroof closes.
8. Press the open position on the power sunroof switch and release. The sunroof glass panel should move to the full open position. After the sunroof motor/module has stopped, press the close position on the power sunroof switch and release. The sunroof glass panel should continue travel to the full closed position. Continue to move the sunroof glass to the “open” then “closed” position four more times so that the sunroof glass has
moved to the closed position a total of five times starting with the first sunroof close in step 7.
Verify proper EFL calibration by placing a standard pencil at the front of the sunroof and then moving the
sunroof to the full closed position. The sunroof should reverse direction upon contact without damage to
the pencil. - Авто та транспорт
Very good info !! Thank you !!
Works on 2006 dodge charger thanks so much you saved me hundreds of dealership dollars!!!
Great stuff! I was able to calibrate my sun roof with this helpful video!
Thanks!
You saved me a $145 diagnostic fee plus whatever else the dealer was going to charge me to do a simple calibration- Thanks a million for the information
$800 fix

This guy is a goat 🐐 it works on my jeep limited 2014 thanks man
Worked on my 2019 Pacifica thanks
Same process for my 2017 Ram 1500. Noticed my sunroof was misaligned and tried to manually adjust it with the screws. It looked flush and then I opened it and closed it. It reverted right back to the rear sitting too low. Did this calibration and then it was sitting too high from where I had manually adjusted it. Pulled it back down with the screws and now my sunroof appears to be well sealed. No more wind noise and hopefully no more condensation in the morning.
Glad it helped out.
Thanks for the video. My sunroof was stuck open and the rain was coming fast. Great step by step, worked first time. Thanks for taking time to post and help out fellow challenger owners.
Glad it helped
2005 300c sunroof closes but won't sit flush with the roof. What is the problem?
Great tip! This worked on my 2012 Dodge Charger SXT AWD.
I have the same vehicle and same issue except i have ZERO power when pressing the VENT button (only the close and open buttons work manually, not automatically)
Any suggestions on what to do in this case scenario?
Thanks for your great video. It’s work from the first time alot of thaaaanks
Thank You!!! I needed this info!
Thanks
About Leakey sunroof for dodge charger 2014, how to replace the rubber seal?
thanks buddy for your movie. helped me a lot. Greetings from Poland.
Bro you the truth fixed my 15 charger good look my guy
Just wanted to let you know that those instructions are not correct to re-calibrate the sunroof for 2011-2018 Charger. The correct procedure to re-calibrate is:
1.)set ignition to ACCESSORY or start engine.
2.)press and hold the CLOSE switch until glass is fully closed, release switch.
3.)press and hold the CLOSE switch again. After 10 seconds the motor will activate and glass will move into the vent position then stall and stop motion.
4.)release the CLOSE switch, then press and hold it again within 5 seconds, do not release switch.
5.)while sunroof CLOSE switch is held the sunroof glass will move to the fully closed position, then to the fully opened position and then fully closed again.
6.)once all sunroof motion has stopped release the CLOSE switch, sunroof is re-calibrated.
If the switch is released prior to the sunroof completing all operations described the entire procedure must be repeated. This will fix issues like automatic open/close (press & release switch) not working or the glass reversing back open when you are trying to close it. This will work on the standard sunroof for 2011-2018 Grand Cherokee & Durango also (not panoramic).
thanks man, this worked for me!
Red 1 thank you!! You’re instructions worked better and were much simpler!
THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH
Thanks man! This worked for my 2015 Grand Cherokee!!
OMG this worked for me, thanks a lot.
good video....but if the express does not work....check and make sure the manual shade has not come off its track on one side or the other.....this will make it only work in manual mode.....i fixed the shade from jamming it.....although it didnt seem like it was jamming it......and the sunroofs express functions worked again.
Thank You for this info
Thank you the fist one worked
Thanks for posting!
I have a 07 300c and sunroof keeps going to vent on close
Big Help Thanks !!!
Good info
2012 challenger r/t with sunroof issues. Can't find any info on closing sunroof from vent position, Do I close it re-pressing the vent button or pressing front close button? Manual gives no information. Thanks
It's the Close button.
Press the front auto till it does a whole process then it’ll be fine
And I failed!! How can I calibrate if during the full open steps, it doesn’t fully open?
My sunroof on my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee is stuck open just like in this video. Me and a friend were able to force it closed by squeezing the window from the top and bottom and pushing forward while I was pushing the switch forward. I'm afraid to open it again for fear it will not close it was very hard to close it the way we did. If I used your suggestions to close and recalibrate I don't understand how when I push the vent button will the sunroof go into the vent position when it is stuck open the way it is. It was almost as if something was jammed and the tracks preventing the sunroof to close all the way. Any suggestions with my situation it's a shame that I'm afraid to open my sunroof again for fear of it not closing. I was afraid the glass was going to break with all the pressure we were putting on it with our hands. We even sprayed WD-40 on the track to help with slide no I can still use it in the vent position because it will close up and down with ease but again I'm afraid to slide it back. Please help.
On the older Chryslers, you will get better luck on disconnecting the Battery from the vehicle for about 20 minutes. The body control module will be reset, reinstituting the control of the sunroof. I would do that first, but also do that visual inspection the best you can with a dental mirror or auto mirror on a stick down the track once open. usually it's just hitting the sensor's impact resistance, and gets squirrely. Discharge the entire system first. The newer Chryslers have a different setup on function.
Mine is doing the exact same thing
I have a 2022 Grand Cherokee and when I press the close button it only goes into vent. The sunroof does not move back. And the sunshade does not work. Do you have a fix?
You can try discharging the vehicle(actually the body controller) by disconnecting the battery for around 5 minutes or longer. That would be where I would start first. They get into these glitches after some time. There will be a lot of new things that will happen like throttle response comes back and so forth. Your uconnect may take a few minutes to reset itself as well.
I have a Chrysler 300C the sun roof opens but as its closing the front wind deflector doesnt quite close enough causing the s roof to open again! Is there any adjustment to make the deflector close compleetely?
Not that I'm aware except the install screw locations. Try reseting everything with the battery. The body controller by be set at a shorter range.
Hi have a 2012 chysler 300 i change the battery 2 weekks ago i go to vent the roof and now it wont close all the way and also the open button makes it move to the closed position but not all the way can you help
Same process, disconnect the battery again. Wait for at least 5 minutes to discharger the body. Then try the process.
I tried what you wrote on my 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We bought it used. When the sun roof closes, I can still look up from my seat and there is a crack where I can see light. When I get out and look at the roof, the rear part of the glass is about a quarter inch higher than the rest of the roof. The sunroof does not seem to get recalibrated. What do you suggest?
Pull the battery for 5 minutes. Especially the ground. Restart the process. You'll have to de-energize the whole vehicle and that can usually be a good start to recalibrating today's vehicles with so many body controller settings.
If you have 14 jeep cherokee these are the steps. Close sunroof and vent shade. Once both are close...hold close button down until shade opens and sunroof vents then release button. Then hold close button until sunroof opens, then release button. Then hold close button down till it's closed. Recalibration is complete. Hope this helps
Thanks Jim that's the one that works, Great man, thanks a million. I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited.
This worked for me too! I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude
My shade doesn’t fully close without the sunroof being open, and the only way I can close the sunroof is with the shade half way back. Also mt I have to manually try to close the sunroof because pressing the button once will not close it’ll have a little vent. Can anyone help?
@@buzzed4603having same issue
But mine just skips, it’s doesn’t open when I hold the buttons
This worked on a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Thanks!
Yeah I tried pressing the vent button and it didn't work, at all. Still will open or close if I press/hold or press multiple times. Any ideas? 💡
That sounds like the switch is actually giving up. At least by what you say it's doing. It's possible that a new switches in order.
Tech Review by Irdi same
Try pulling the battery for more than half an hour and re-establishing and then recalibrating see if that wakens up the vent position. If not than the vent button years it gets pressed the most and it's possible that part of the button is broken side or not contacting.
the shade may be jamming it
So I’m having a problem with a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. I try to open the sunroof it tries to open, moves back like 1/4 of an inch then it closes again.. it doesn’t open at all. I can get it to vent but that’s all. How do I get it to work?
First, check to see if there is anything impeding the track. It is usually that first. Second, if you haven't done it, disconnect your battery for about 20 minutes then hook it back up. Remember to unhook both terminals,. Once done, try it again. Let us if those worked for you.
@@TechReviewbyIrdi no I believe nothing is in the tracks I just think it’s acting weird, I’ll try to unhook the battery tomorrow and see if that helps, thanks for replying. I’ll let you know if that helps me tomorrow thank you
My shade doesn’t fully close without the sunroof being open, and the only way I can close the sunroof is with the shade half way back. Also I have to manually close the sunroof because pressing the button once will not close it but it’ll have a little vent. Can anyone help?
Try the battery trick. You must disconnect both terminals to discharge the system fully and at least 10 minutes to be sure. I recently had the same issue again. It works if the body controller(the chargers is passenger right foot area) is all good and it's been updated during service intervals. All cars need to see a dealer once in a while. Software and firmware are pretty much a thing now a days. Updates are constantly being performed in the auto industry now. The slide back is a different story. It's only a physical shield, no electronics. It must be catching on the slide rails somehow. That one is going to have to be looked at. If there is a physical issue, then disassembly may be required. The sunroof system can be disassembled. But make sure everything is lined up right if you go that route.
@@TechReviewbyIrdi sorry I didn’t mention it but I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a panoramic sun roof
Does this work on a 2016 ram 1500
It may. I've never tried it nor have I had anyone with one that I'm acquainted with. Never tried it during my Chrysler time at the shop. It wouldn't hurt.
will this work on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee with panoramic roof? mine wont open and close automatically anymore, i have to hold the buttons now.
Thanks
nAz I believe it's a different process. But it doesn't hurt to try
jeez... Okay i will try it out over the weekend, but man that is a lot moves :)
BTW Thanks!
I was looking at another video you comment on the charger with the open button having to keep pushing to open but the vent Does not work at all
@@raterNAZ did it ever work?
@@buzzed4603 yes, it took a few tries but it did work out.
I have a 2012 grand Cherokee overland it opens but won’t close by 3 inches help please I have the panoramic sun roof
I'm not sure if it's close to the same process. Have you tried disconnecting the Cherokee's battery for a minute and reconnecting, then try it. It may be off by the body controller.
I brought it to a sun roof place they got it closed for now they said it’s either the overhead switch or it’s the motor
Does this work for the 300C panoramic sunroof?
I'm not sure. It's a different setup. But it's worth a try.
Same question 🤔
I have a 2015 300C and it worked. Followed what he said and presto.
2017 Ram, sunroof closed, rear is about 1/4" too high; doesn't seal, leaks like an open window!
This calibration doesn't help. :(
What is the proper way to reset/recalibrate it?
having the same problem did you get it fixed
@@jiovanysanchez6787
Dealer "adjusted" it for a ridiculous price when I had it in the shop for the turbo actuator problem. Apparently there isn't an electronic fix, which is what I wanted to learn. No clue how it got out of adjustment like that; I still suspect electronics.
If it happens again, I'll just grab tools and do it myself.
@@ProspectorTim shit man lol i have to keep doing it manually stepping in and out to make sure it’s closed it’s getting annoying
I’m here to stop the puddle in my 2006 Jeep Commander. 🤞🏼
Why not have the motor running?
Reset in ACC mode. Sends a different command to the body controller located in the right footwell on the passenger side.
Mi e does not close all the way even trying to recalibrate it the only way to close it fully is to press close 4 times then it closes
I've seen that happen. Try unhooking the battery for at least 20-40 minutes. The tech bulletin states that the charge should always be reset first from the battery. If that does not work, it can be the module or the switch itself. The switch doesn't last forever either. We had replaced a few as well.
I have pretty much the same car in the video and my vent button dose nothing. I can use the arrows by tapping but nothing with the vent button.
Try a full battery reset. I have seen that in the shop as well. The body controller,(located in the right kick panel of the passenger seat footwell, can be a little dumb at some points. There as been firmware updates depending the the year and if it was caught. I have had several techs tell me they remedied it with pulling the battery and reconnecting after 20 minute. But make sure it's closed fulling first. Then try the process. If it continues, then the dpst switch in the overhead may be the issue.
@@TechReviewbyIrdi thank you, I will try that.
What do I do if the sunroof is stuck open?
I had someone try the battery discharge with the cables. It worked in their Grand Cherokee. Try that first before anything. If it's the switch, you'll have to remove the switch assembly, and jump the switch contacts to see if it's that.
Frontline
Thank you!
Mine won’t open hardly at all only vents
Mine does that to did you every figure it out?
My vent button doesn't work
Myles, remove the battery terminals in the trunk and leave the trunk open for about 20 minutes. You don't want to close the trunk without power. Reconnect the terminals both positive and negative. Then try again.
People attending Chrysler and affiliated companies should wear a t-shirt were one can read: "I've should have bought a Toyota!"
😂So true.
My sunroof is tilted way back in the back
Is it stuck? And did it exceed the track bars?
Works just titled down in back when closed
I see. The glass has two running sidewalls underneath(fixed to the glass bottom), they slide and assist up when back. They may be grooved out a bit. But there are two leveraging springs like long tweezers that push it up as well. If it's closing, and yet the back is not up and sealed, there will be more that happens later, and it will either lock in place anywhere along the track or is breaks or slants sideways depending on what starts to give. Sounds like its very early in the stages. You have top take the headliner out to be neat about things. Or just pop down the center area around the inside ring by grasping the headliner edges and pull down slowly. You can access some screws from the top with it fully open, but it needs to be closed to actually troubleshoot it. Here's a link to the parts assembly for 2011-2022's. store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-sunroof-glass-68091791aa?c=Zz1ib2R5LXNoZWV0LW1ldGFsLWV4Y2VwdC1kb29ycyZzPXN1bnJvb2YmbD02Jm49QXNzZW1ibGllcyBQYWdlJmE9ZG9kZ2Umbz1jaGFyZ2VyJnk9MjAxNCZ0PXN4dCZlPTMtNmwtdjYtZ2Fz
WHEN I HIT VENT IT WONT DO ANYTHING 🤦🏾♂️
Disconnect the cars battery, wait about 10 minutes. Reconnect. Try it again. That's the first step. Vent mode can be stall if it's a positioning issue. Hit up a reply when you try it. Lot's of folks do the positive only, but do them both. You'll want the body controller to reset with both positive and negative disconnected. You'll also see the throttle will relearn as well as the driving. Everything gets reset and feels peppy.
Not the run position!!!!
