Resetting the Moon Roof Auto Open/Close feature

Last week, my moon roof stops operating properly. No more 1 button open/close - it became a tiresome manual process. Let me tell you, trying to get the moon roof closed properly was a hit or miss game.

So off to Radley Acura at Bailey's Crossroads to see what needed fixing. Seems that there is a routine to reset the AUTO function of the sun roof:
2005 RL - Moonroof Control Unit Reset
Resetting the moonroof is required when any of the following have occurred.
• The moonroof was moved manually with the battery dead or disconnected.
• The moonroof motor was replaced with a new one.
• Any of components related to the moonroof were replaced.
- Wind deflector
- Moonroof glass
- Moonroof seal
- Moonroof glass bracket
- Moonroof cables, etc.
To reset the moonroof control unit, do these steps.
1. Close all doors and trunk.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Press and hold the tilt switch, and turn the ignition switch ON (II).
4. Release the tilt switch, and turn the ignition switch OFF.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 four times.
6. Press and hold the moonroof open switch until 3 seconds after the moonroof is fully opened.
7. Press and hold the moonroof close switch until 3 seconds after the moonroof is fully closed (tilted).
8. Confirm that the moonroof control unit is reset by using the moonroof AUTO OPEN and AUTO CLOSE function.
It does indeed work!
So I'm wondering: how many more other routines are available to us?
