Mercedes V Klasse sunroof issue after coding

My 2003 Mercedes V Klasse with a diesel engine has an issue. After some coding, I'm getting a 'sunroof not initialized' error. The sunblind is stuck, the convertible top is unresponsive, and the sunblind won't move. I've checked the fuses. Any troubleshooting tips or ideas about the sunroof mechanism or control?

Summary of the thread

After coding adjustments on a 2003 Mercedes V Klasse, an error message appeared indicating the sunroof was not initialized, causing the sunblind and convertible top to become unresponsive. The issue likely stemmed from the coding process affecting the sunroof control system. The recommended solution was to use STAR diagnostics at a workshop to reinitialize the sunroof mechanism, which successfully resolved the problem.

Sounds like you're in a pickle! I had a similar issue with my V Klasse. The sunroof went haywire after some electrical work. Think of it like your car's brain got a little scrambled. Did they happen to mess with any of the central control modules?

That's a good question! I wasn't directly involved when the coding was carried out, but I believe they were tweaking some settings related to the lighting and comfort features. Is it possible the sunroof control is somehow linked to those systems? Any idea how to check this?

Yep, that sounds familiar. It's like they accidentally unplugged something important, or the system just got confused. Honestly, I'd bite the bullet and take it to a workshop with STAR diagnostics. They can reinitialize the sunroof mechanism and see if that fixes it. It's likely a quick fix.

You were spot on! I took it to a shop, and they reinitialized the sunroof system using STAR diagnostics. Apparently, the coding had scrambled something. Cost me 75€, but everything is working perfectly now. Thanks a million for your help!
