Accessories.
This bulletin address the issue of the convertible top not cycling open or closed with one or more RHT DTCs set
Important:
You must review Service Know-How 10206.13D and 12442.10V before working on a Retractable Hard Top vehicle.
When the top is cycle open or closed the Folding Top Control (FTC) Module looks for a specific sequence of switching events to take place (refer to the
Switch Status Charts below). If the specific sequence is interrupted by one of the switches not properly changing status, the FTC Module will set DTC/s
for the specific switch(es) that did not cycle, the module will then time out the hydraulic pump/motor and will not allow further top operation to protect
top components from being damaged
Important:
Once the FTC module times out, it will no longer allow top operation until the switch that interrupted the sequence, properly changes status (Note: At
times the FTC may allow return of the roof to its previous position but, normally will not allow movement past the point at which the switch
sequence was interrupted).
Important:
The switch sequence can also be interrupted by a mechanical binding of the system latches or a hydraulic system leak. Both of these issues can cause
a switch status not to change and the system will time out.
DO NOT replace the FTC module or the hydraulic pump/motor. Instead, follow the diagnostics below.
Use the Tech 2 to identify the DTC(s) and symptom/descriptor set.
Important:
Verify that the battery has a full state of charge (always cycle the top with the engine running).
^
If no DTC is set or DTC B1010 is the only DTC set: Check the DIC for messages (i.e. "Check Cargo Shade" the top will not cycle if the cargo
shade is open). If no messages are displayed, cycle the top open/closed and re-check for DTCs. If the top operates normally and no DTCs are set,
the condition is not present. If the Top Operational Switch DTC is set (B3602), go to Step 1.
Important:
The Top Operational Switch is designed to operate with constant finger pressure. For safety reasons, the top will stop if the constant pressure is not
present. It is also normal for a slight pause to occur when resuming top operation with the switch after a constant pressure interruption has taken
place. (No DTC will be set for this issue. Do not replace the switch for this normal condition).
^
If any of the following Top Switch DTCs are set B1296, B3669, B367A, B367B, B366E, B366D, B366B, B366A, B367F, B1307, B3683,
B3685, B366C and/or B1010 - go to Step 1.
