CONVERTIBLE TOP

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

M1421000100068

The electric convertible top can be opened/closed by
means of electric power. For safety, the convertible
top control module disables opening and closing of

the convertible top in response to signals from the
vehicle speed sensor when the vehicle speed
exceeds 3km/h (1.9 mph).

CONVERTIBLE TOP DIAGNOSIS

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRIC CONVERTIBLE TOP DIAGNOSIS

M1426203900040

The electric convertible top is controlled by the con-
vertible top control module. When the convertible top
switch is operated at the vehicle speed of less than 3
km/h (1.9 mph), all the door windows automatically
lower and then all the quarter windows. After all the
door windows and the quarter windows are fully low-
ered, the top stack drive motor operates to open or
close the electric convertible top.

Incidentally, the door windows will automatically
lower during the operation of the convertible top
switch even when the lock switch of the power win-
dow main switch is locked.
If the following types of symptom occur, there may be
a fault.

• The electric convertible top does not open or

close.

ELECTRIC CONVERTIBLE TOP DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY

you follow them carefully, you will be sure that you
have exhausted most of the possible ways to find the
electric convertIble top fault.
