BMW 1 Series Sunroof warning light

[Risk.Take]

Hi,

1 series E87 2008

This morning I got the sunroof warning alert ( trap... sunroof fault).
- It cannot open in vent mode ( just small ) by click that roof button at the center
- it can open in full and also closed by ... hold push back or front ( this do work )

What can be the solution to fix this problem without booking it in at the dealer ( Its out of motorplan )

Please advise.

Try Pushing and holding the button down for 15-30 seconds it should reset

Not sure if you push in or to the front but try both :fencelook:

Quartermile300 ... I managed to re-initialized it man all sorted now.... I had already already booked it in at BMW dealer ( will cancel my booking now )

I did this:

To reinitialize - with sunroof closed, push switch (as to move into vent position) and hold for several seconds (10-20) until roof makes additional move toward open position. Switch off ignition switch for several seconds, switch ignition back on (no need to start) and move switch so as to close sunroof. If sunroof moves to closed, it is reinitialized.

And worked like a charm...
