Fault symptom
- Soft top cannot be operated or stops mid-movement.

On-board diagnosis

Type of diagnosis:
- Continuous

Enable criteria:
- Ignition ON.
- Soft top opening/closing activated

Fault criteria:
- The position sensor assumes impermissible position while soft top is in operation

Checking the wiring harness
- Jiggle the wiring harness at several points to detect intermittent breaks or short circuits. Check also the connector for oxidation or loose pins.

Diagnostic help
- The distance between the sensor and the sensor detection point must not exceed 1.9 mm.
- The soft top is operated in sequences. Each sequence must begin with the sensors in a position that matches the movement pattern.
