Preparation For Test




Preliminary work:
- "DTC Descriptions"
- Fuses OK.
- Battery voltage 11-14 Volts (always connect battery charger when working on the soft top).
- RB control module must release soft top for operation (indicator lamp in RB switch should not blink).
If soft top does not release, see DTC 23, refer to "DTC Descriptions"
- In DTC memory, no DTC's (i.e.:19, 21, 24 - 30) which could prevent soft top operation can be stored, these must be cleared from memory. If a stored DTC cannot be cleared from memory, repair defect.
- Review entire section before performing test.
