Circuit/System Description
The power folding top system uses seven different position or limit switches and three position sensors that provide input information to the folding top control (FTC) module. The FTC module uses this input information to determine the state and position of the folding top components. Then based on these inputs, the module applies battery voltage to the appropriate control circuits to the folding top pump motor and the appropriate valves in order to control the hydraulic system used to operate the folding top.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Complete the check list, prior to performing the diagnosis: |
| - | When the folding top control switch is pressed, check for driver information center (DIC) warning messages. |
| - | Windows are normalized. Refer to Power Window Reinitialization. |
| - | Compartment partition is installed and secured, closing the compartment partition position switch. |
| - | Vehicle is in PARK. |
| - | Press the ignition to ACCY or RUN, with the engine OFF. |
| - | Hydraulic fluid bypass valve in the operating position, turned clockwise, located above the pump motor. |
| - | Operating temperature is normal. |
| • | Whenever the open/close control switch is released or the top becomes inoperative in a suspended state, pressure will be maintained in the hydraulic system to avoid drifting and damage of components. After 4 minutes, the FTC module will gradually release the hydraulic pressure allowing the top to gradually settle to a resting position. |
| • | When using the scan tool, the Rear Compartment Lid is referenced as the Deck Lid. |
| • | If a repair is made to a signal circuit for a short to ground, test the component of that circuit for proper operation. |
| • | Using the scan tool to access the History parameters for the folding top control (FTC) module, will display the last status of the items listed. |
