B3669




DTC B3669

Circuit Description

The folding top control (FTC) module checks the rear compartment lid (decklid) open switch signal circuit of the rear compartment lid (decklid) open switch, at least once every 300 milliseconds. The FTC module compares the deck lid open signal circuit against the decklid ajar switch, that is sent by class 2 message. As the folding top is starting to operate, the decklid will be released, a class 2 message is sent indicating the decklid ajar switch is ajar. The FTC module will continue to raise the decklid upward until it is fully extended, closing the decklid open switch. The accessory voltage supplied to the decklid open switch will then be applied through the decklid signal circuit to the FTC module. Once this signal is received, the FTC module can continue to cycle the folding top operation.

DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

The battery voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The FTC module monitors the decklid open switch signal switch and the class 2 message of the decklid ajar switch. A DTC is set if both are active.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ Stores a current and history DTC B3669 in the FTC module.
^ The folding top operation is suspended.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ This DTC will clear on the current status after the condition for setting the fault is corrected.
