Diagnostic Procedure
• When performing the asterisked (*) troubleshooting inspection, slightly shake the wiring harness and connectors while performing the inspection to determine whether poor contact points are the cause of any intermittent malfunction. If there is a problem, verify that the connectors, terminals and the wiring harness are connected correctly and undamaged.

STEP | INSPECTION | ACTION
--- | --- | ---
1 | VERIFY THAT PRESENT DTC IS STORED • Connect the M-MDS to DLC-2. • Retrieve the DTC for the power retractable hardtop control module. • Is there a DTC present? | Yes | Go to the appropriate DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [POWER RETRACTABLE HARDTOP].)
No | Go to the next step.
2 | INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN TOP LOCK SWITCH OR ELSEWHERE • Verify the roof status. • Is the roof fully closed? | Yes | Go to the next step.

4* | INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN POWER RETRACTABLE HARDTOP INDICATOR LIGHT CONTROL CIRCUIT OR ELSEWHERE • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. • Disconnect the power retractable hardtop control module (6-pin) and power retractable hardtop switch connectors. • Verify the continuity between the power retractable hardtop control module terminal 2C and ground. • Is there continuity? | Yes | Replace for a short to the ground circuit.
No | Replace the power retractable hardtop switch, then go to the next step. (See POWER RETRACTABLE HARDTOP SWITCH REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
5 | INSPECT TO SEE WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN POWER RETRACTABLE HARDTOP INDICATOR LIGHT OR POWER RETRACTABLE HARDTOP CONTROL MODULE • Reinspect malfunction condition. Does the power retractable hardtop indicator light flash? | Yes | Replace the power retractable hardtop control module. (See POWER RETRACTABLE HARDTOP CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
No | Replace the power retractable hardtop switch. (See POWER RETRACTABLE HARDTOP SWITCH REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
