DTC B3971

Circuit Description

When the top is in the closed position the following definitions of the limit switches should be true:

* Top closed switch-The switch will be closed to voltage and the scan tool parameter should display Active.
* Top open switch-The switch will be open and the scan tool parameter should display Inactive.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The FTC module must be powered and can not have B1327 or B1328 set as active DTCs for this DTC to set.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The FTC module will set B3971 as a current DTC if it senses that both the top open and top closed limit switches are active at the same time.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The FTC module disables all folding top functions.
* If the condition occurs during operation of the folding top, once the top control switch is released, the FTC module will send 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 the switch may be the intermittent fault. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.
