Sunroof pinch warning

s4iscool · 12-22-2006, 06:45 PM

Anyone get this before? I have the sunroom warning message. I can still raise and push the sunroof back about 1/3 of the way. Its weird. When I hot the button to close the roof, it will actually tilt it.

Anyone know the reinitialization process on BMWs? I did a battery reset, and it came right back...

Thanks

nevermind, found it.
Hold the tilt button until the tilt goes up, then down, then the glass slides all the way open, then closed.

Worked, but duno why I ever got the random warning...hope it doesnt come back

I have never had that problem with my sunroof get it check in the dealer

Yeah, news to me too. I'd have a chat with my dealer to make sure I knew why it happened and how to prevent it fron happening again.

it just lost initialization. Don't sweat it. We won't do anything about it anyway, 9/10 of the time... unless there's a specific fault stored, for some wierd reason, we won't have any evidence of what we should fix. if it happens AGAIN, don't fix it, and take it in, saying it's happened before.

look at my post above: "nevermind, found it.

AFter i made this post and did a reiniti, it did it again about 2 weeks later...but since then, I havent seen it.

yah my parents had this happen, they took it to the dealer and they just did the re-init and said that's all you need to do, whats kinda stupid in the manual with all the error lights, it says take to dealer for service.

bksylver · 02-17-2007, 06:10 PM

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it on mine. No idea how or why this happened.

liquid · 02-18-2007, 07:18 AM

i had it about 3 weeks ago. i took it to the dealer, he pushed the button in and held it. the system reset and it works fine.

i had the same thing happen to me lastnight. I'm going to try the "fix"

sambonator · 06-17-2007, 03:12 PM

Mine is scheduled to go back to the dealer for this problem. It sounds like a lot of owners are having the same issue...

Munchen · 07-14-2007, 01:47 PM

I won't ask you how long it took you to figure it out; but dude you're a genius

your fix worked like a charm for my sunroof pinch warning; saved me a trip to the dealer.

thx

Taxvictim · 10-26-2011, 08:55 AM

I would also like to add my thanks for this resource. You did save me a trip to the dealer. Sorry to bump such an old thread, but it really did work for me.

I didn't even know you could "push" the tilt button. All this time I have been sliding the button forward or backward.

90rr · 10-26-2011, 09:20 AM

happened to me last week .. it's like a computer glitch, sometimes you need to reset to work . i don't think that is a big deal

BMWUltimateDriv3r · 10-26-2011, 12:47 PM

I did this but the stupid warning remains on. How do I get rid of that?
