For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical

- When Monitored:
With the Ignition Switch in the on position and the Power Top Control Module (PTCM) is awake.

- Set Condition:
When the Power Top Control Module (PTCM) senses low voltage on the (Q988) Convertible Top Retracted Signal circuit, this code will set.





Diagnostic Test

1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, record and erase all PTCM DTC's.
Try to operate the Power Top Switch.
Wait 30 seconds.
With the scan tool, read all PTCM DTC's.
