B1300

DTC B1300

Circuit Description
The folding top control (FTC) module checks the circuits listed, at least once every 300 milliseconds:

^ Convertible top header latched switch signal of the header latched switch.
^ Convertible top header unlatched switch signal of the header unlatched switch.

Both switches are supplied accessory voltage, and when a switch is active, it will apply the voltage signaling the FTC module.
The header latched switch will close, signaling the FTC module when the header latch has latched and secured the folding top when it is in either the closed or stowed position. The header unlatched switch will close, signaling the FTC module when the folding top latch is in the fully unlatched position. This would be when the folding top is between the closed and stowed positions.

DTC Descriptor
The diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC.
DTC B1300 Convertible Top Header Latched Sensor Circuit

Conditions for Running the DTC
The battery voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The FTC module detects inputs from both the header latched and header unlatched switch signal circuits being active at the same time.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ Stores a current and history DTC B1300 in the FTC module.
^ The folding top operation is suspended.
^ The FTC module sends a class 2 message to the driver information center (DIC), displaying: TOP NOT SECURE.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ This DTC will clear on the current status after the condition for setting the fault is corrected.
^ A history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.
^ History and current DTC can be cleared using the scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
If the DTC does not reset after the code is cleared, then one of the switches may be the intermittent fault.
