Current Too High. Intermittent Fault






Current too high. Intermittent fault

Mechanical check
Carry out the mechanical check according to Mechanical check Mechanical Check.




Check the catch position as illustrated.

Was the fault found?

Yes - Calibrating the convertible system

No - Checking connectors and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking connectors and wiring




- Ignition off
- Check control module connector D for an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults
- Ignition on.
Connect a voltmeter in order between:
D7 and ground, motor, front locks opening.
D13 and ground, motor, rear locking arms.
Check for an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults.

Other information:
- To connect the breakout box, see Connecting the convertible control unit breakout box Connecting the Breakout Box
- To access or replace the control module see Replacing the control module Service and Repair.









Was a short-circuit found?

Yes - Fault-tracing information

No - Checking the engine

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the engine




- Check the relevant motor connector for an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults
- Ignition on.
Connect a voltmeter between motor 1 and ground, and between 2 and ground.
Check for an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults.
Replace the motor if a short-circuit is found.
If no fault is found there is probably a short-circuit in the cable between the control module and the motor connectors.
Remedy as necessary.

- To access or replace the motor for the rear locking arms, see Replacing motors Service and Repair.









Was the fault found?

Yes - Fault-tracing information

No - No Fault Found

-------------------------------------------------

Calibrating the convertible system
It is important that the potentiometer values are calibrated and programmed into the control module if the potentiometer has been replaced. Carry out programming and calibration in VIDA.

Information

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.
It is possible to view the information again, or leave fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Do you want to view the information again?

Yes - Attempt New Test

No - FAULT FOUND
