This PI was superceded to clarify MID position of header latch. Please discard PIC3916A.


The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:

Some customers may comment any or several of the following concerns:

  1. Roof header may not latch.
  2. Roof header may not latch but will unlatch on its own.
  3. Header latch will display MID on the Tech2 (This concern can be intermittent and may be the result of loose connector(s) at the solenoid control valve(s) of the hydraulic pump).

Recommendation/Instructions:

Locate the hydraulic pump in the rear compartment. Inspect the solenoid connectors on the hydraulic pump and ensure the connectors are fully seated.

Note: The connectors may be knocked loose during service or replacement of the hydraulic pump.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
