DESCRIPTION
For the solar ventilation system, the moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) generates electricity using sunlight to generate the required power.
The electricity generated by the moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) is sent to the solar ventilation ECU and used as the power source for the solar ventilation system.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE
INSPECT MOON ROOF GLASS ASSEMBLY (SOLAR PANEL)
Leave the vehicle for 10 minutes in a location where the following conditions are met, and then measure the voltage.
| Items | Condition |
|---|---|
| Amount of sunlight | A sufficient amount of sunlight is received by the moon roof glass assembly (solar panel). (The amount of sunlight on a cloudless day between 11:00 and 14:00 is typically sufficient for operation.) |
| Moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) status | The moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) is not in the shade |
| No fallen leaves or dirt is present on the moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) | |
| Ambient temperature | 20 to 40°C (68 to 104°F) |
Note
To ensure stable generation of voltage by the moon roof glass assembly (solar panel), make sure to park the vehicle in a location where the system operation requirements are satisfied.

Disconnect the solar ventilation ECU connector.
CAUTION:
The moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) generates electricity when exposed to a light source such as sunlight. If an inspection of the moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) is performed while electricity is being generated, work carefully in order to prevent an accidental short circuit or electric shock.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Voltage | ||||||
