iQ Sunroof Initialization Error

I'm having a weird issue with my 2013 Toyota iQ (electric engine). I'm getting a 'sunroof not initialized' error. The sunblind gets stuck, and now the convertible top won't open or close! The sunblind no longer retracts or extends. I've heard coding can mess with these things. Anyone experienced similar sunroof troubleshooting?

Summary of the thread

A 2013 Toyota iQ owner experienced a 'sunroof not initialized' error, causing the sunblind and convertible top to malfunction. The issue likely stemmed from a coding problem rather than a mechanical obstruction. The recommended solution was to have the sunroof module reinitialized by a professional familiar with Toyota iQ electrics. After following this advice, the problem was resolved successfully.

That's a common problem after coding on these cars. The sunroof module probably needs a reset. Does the error message disappear after ignition off/on? Have you checked the sunroof mechanism for any obstructions?

Thanks for the quick reply! The error message stays on even after restarting the car. I haven't seen any obvious obstructions, but where exactly should I be looking? Is there a specific part of the sunroof mechanism that's prone to causing this?

The fact that the error persists after a restart points more towards a coding issue than a mechanical one. While checking for obstructions is always a good idea, it sounds like the sunroof lost its correct settings after the coding procedure. I'd recommend taking it to a workshop that's familiar with Toyota iQ electrics; they'll be able to reinitialize the sunroof module.

You were spot on! Took it to a shop, and they confirmed the coding had messed things up. They reinitialized the sunroof module, and everything's working perfectly now. Cost me 75€ . Thanks for the help!
