V40 Sunroof Not Initialized Error

Sunroof on my 2001 Volvo V40 with a gasoline engine is showing a 'not initialized' error. The sunblind is stuck, the convertible top is inoperable, and the sunblind won't retract. Could coding be the cause?

I had a similar issue with my V40 sunroof. Is the error message always there, or does it come and go? Have you checked the sunroof motor and wiring for damage or loose connections? Look there before assuming it's a coding issue.

Thanks. The error is always there. Any specific spots I should check on the motor and wiring?

My error was also persistent. Check the connector to the motor for corrosion or loose pins first. It's hard to know without diagnostic tools. Have you thought about taking it to a shop for a sunroof system calibration?

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a shop, and the sunroof needed recalibration because of a coding error, like you said. Cost 75€ Thanks for the help.
