1. No communication with the FTC module. 2. Power folding top is inoperative 3. From the top closed position, the 5 bow will not move. 4. From the top open position, the folding top cover will not open. |
The folding top control switch is a rocker type switch that controls open and close functions of the power folding top. Battery positive voltage is supplied at all times to the switch from the REAR FOG/ALDL TOP SW fuse located in the body control module (BCM) fuse block. When the folding top switches are pressed, they send a 12 volt signal through the switch signal circuit to the folding top control (FTC) module indicating the top open or top close request. The FTC module then commands the folding top to move in response to the switch signal.
The power folding top system uses seven different position or limit switches that provide input information to the FTC module. The FTC module uses this input information to determine the state and position of the folding top components. Then based on this input, the module then 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.
• | 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. |
- | Luggage barrier is installed and secured, closing the luggage barrier switch. |
- | Vehicle is in PARK or the park brake is applied with manual transmission. |
- | 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. |
- | Pump operating temperature is between 18°C (0°F) and 95°C (199°F). |
- | 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 folding top cover is referenced as the tonneau. |
• | 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. |
