Default Sunroof won’t close properly

My RX’s sunroof is acting kinda weird. The automatic one touch open and close functions don’t work and I have to hold the button every time I want to open and close the sun roof. Also, when I push and hold the button to close it, the sunroof will close but as soon as it closes, it will tilt open. I tried closing the tilted sunroof by holding the tilt button but it opens up my sunroof if I hold the tilt button.

Try the reset/initialization process. Maybe that will fix it.

INITIALIZATION
1. RESET SLIDING ROOF MOTOR
a. The sliding roof may not operate automatically and the jam protection function will not function
correctly after you reconnect, replace or recharge the battery. In any of these cases, reset the sliding
2008 Lexus RX 350 roof system using the following method.

1. Push and hold the slide switch toward the front or tilt switch on the rear side.
2. Check that the sliding roof will tilt up and down, or slide open and close.
3. After the slide operation, release the switch.
4. Make sure that the sliding roof opens and closes automatically.

HINT:
If the battery terminal is disconnected, the ECU of the sliding roof motor may not detect the
position of the roof glass. If the AUTO operation function is still disabled even after the
sliding roof motor is reset, the hall IC (built in the sliding roof motor assembly) for detecting
the roof glass position may be malfunctioning.
