      If the result is not as specified, replace the sliding roof drive gear assembly RH.

    2. Apply battery voltage to the drive gear terminals and check operation of the sliding roof drive gear RH.
      1. Connect the electrical tester's positive (+) lead to terminal 5 and negative (-) lead to terminal 4.
      2. Connect 5 1.5 V dry cell batteries in series.
      3. Connect terminal 6 to the dry cell batteries' positive (+) terminal, and terminal 4 to the dry cell batteries' negative (-) terminal.
      4. Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to terminal 1, and negative (-) lead to terminal 3.
      5. Check the output voltage of terminals 4 and 5.

        OK: 

        Pulse is generated while motor running 

      6. Reverse the polarity of terminals 1 and 3.
      7. Check the output voltage of terminals 4 and 5.

        OK: 

        Pulse is generated while motor running 

        If the result is not as specified, replace the sliding roof drive gear assembly RH.
