Seat Tarraco sunroof issue after coding

I am experiencing a problem with the sunroof on my 2018 Seat Tarraco with a diesel engine. The vehicle currently has 116469 km. Since some coding was carried out on the vehicle, I receive a 'sunroof not initialized' error. The sunblind is now stuck, and the convertible top is completely inoperable. The sunblind also no longer retracts and extends. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

This sounds awfully familiar! I have a Seat Tarraco as well and experienced a similar issue with my vehicle sunroof after some coding modifications. The sunblind behaved erratically, and the convertible top refused to budge. Did the error message specifically mention a problem with the sunroof system's initialization? Have you attempted any basic troubleshooting steps, such as checking fuses related to the car sunroof or disconnecting the battery for a short period to reset the system?

Thank you for your reply. Yes, the error message directly references a 'sunroof not initialized' state. I have checked the fuses, and they appear to be in working order. I have not tried disconnecting the battery, as I am somewhat hesitant to do so without further guidance. When you had this problem, was a sunroof calibration necessary in your case? If so, did you do it yourself?

Yes, the error message and symptoms you describe align with what I experienced. I wouldn't recommend disconnecting the battery without proper knowledge, as it can sometimes create further issues with the car's electronic systems. In my case, a simple sunroof calibration at the workshop resolved the problem. It seems the coding process somehow disrupted the sunroof system's parameters. I would suggest scheduling an appointment with a qualified technician to perform a sunroof calibration. It is likely the most straightforward solution.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I followed your advice and visited the workshop. It turns out you were correct, a sunroof calibration was indeed necessary. The automobile sunroof is now functioning as expected. The recalibration of the sunroof system cost me 75€.
