Highlander Sunroof Sunblind Stuck

Hey, I'm having a nightmare with the sunroof on my 2002 Toyota Highlander with a gasoline engine. The sunblind is stuck, and the whole convertible top thing won't open or close! It just happened after some coding work. The sunblind also refuses to retract or extend. Any ideas? Could it be something simple, or am I doomed?

Summary of the thread

The sunroof sunblind on a 2002 Toyota Highlander is stuck and won't operate after some coding work. This issue is likely due to a 'not initialized' error in the sunroof system, commonly triggered by coding changes. A professional recalibration using specialized diagnostic equipment is recommended to resolve the problem.

It sounds like your sunroof system is experiencing a classic 'not initialized' error, often triggered by coding activities. The symptoms you're describing – sunblind malfunction, inability to open/close the convertible top, and retraction/extension failure – are all consistent with this diagnosis. Have you attempted a sunroof reset or recalibration procedure?

A reset? I haven't! Is that something I can do myself, or am I going to mess things up even more?

While a DIY reset might be tempting, given the potential for further complications and the 'not initialized' error likely stemming from coding changes, I would advise against it. Based on the symptoms and the coding event you mentioned, the sunroof system may require a professional recalibration using specialized diagnostic equipment. I would suggest taking the vehicle to a trusted workshop.

Thanks for the advice! You were spot on. Took it to a shop, and they recalibrated the sunroof. Cost me 75€, but at least it's working again!
