id091600016600
Purpose
• The top lock motor secures/releases the top lock by operating the lock mechanism.
Functions
• When the top lock motor receives a top lock motor control signal from the retractable hardtop control module, it rotates clockwise/counterclockwise and secures/releases the top lock.
Construction
• The roof link motor consists of the following parts.
-
― Motor
― Connector
― Gear
• Two Hall effect switches are located in the top lock motor.
-
― The Hall effect switches output pulse signals to the retractable hardtop control module.
Operation
Securing operation
-
• When the top lock motor receives a top lock motor control signal (secure) from the retractable hardtop control module, the motor rotates and the top lock is secured to the top lock striker.
Releasing operation
-
• When the top lock motor receives a top lock motor control signal (release) from the retractable hardtop control module, the motor rotates and the top lock is released from the top lock striker.
Hall effect switch operation
-
• The Hall effect switch utilizes magnets set on a rotating axis to detect the motor rotation, and outputs a one-pulse cycle per rotation of the motor rotation axis.
• The high and low pulse points of Hall effect switches 1 and 2 are different during opening and closing because the phase difference shifts by approx. 90°.
