•  Disconnect the power retractable hardtop/deck panel limit switch connector.
•  Disconnect the power retractable hardtop control module connector.
•  Inspect the following wiring harnesses for an open or short circuit.
―  Between power retractable hardtop control module connector terminal 1T and power retractable hardtop limit switch connector terminal A, and between power retractable hardtop control module connector terminal 1V and power retractable hardtop limit switch connector terminal B
―  Between power retractable hardtop control module connector terminal 1R and power retractable hardtop limit switch connector terminal C, and between power retractable hardtop control module connector terminal 1V and power retractable hardtop limit switch connector terminal D
―  Between power retractable hardtop control module connector terminal 3F and deck panel limit switch connector terminal A, and between power retractable hardtop control module connector terminal 1V and deck panel limit switch connector terminal B
―  Between power retractable hardtop control module connector terminal 3O and deck panel limit switch limit switch connector terminal C, and between power retractable hardtop control module connector terminal 1V and deck panel limit switch connector terminal D
•  Is the wiring harness normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the related wiring harness.
4
INSPECT THE LIMIT SWITCH
•  Using the M-MDS, verify the following PID/DATA monitor.
―  RHT_OP
―  RHT_CL
―  DECK_OP
―  DECK_CL
•  Are the ON/OFF combinations of the open/close switches as shown in Fig.1?
Yes
Clear the DTC and perform the DTC inspection again.
•  If the malfunction recurs, replace the power retractable hardtop control module.
