DESCRIPTION
The power top system allows the convertible top to be raised and lowered automatically by actuating a switch on the instrument panel. The power top system receives battery feed through a 40 amp fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), only when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
In each door there is a window regulator module directly connected to each of the front door window regulator motors. The window regulator module receives battery feed through a 30 amp fuse in the TIPM and then through an in line circuit breaker located on the wiring harness. The modules control window motor operation, smart glass functions and rear window operations. The driver window module controls the convertible top operations by supplying a ground signal to the motor/hydraulic pump relay.
The main components of the power top system are:
- The power top framework and bows (1)
- The motor/hydraulic pump assembly (2)
- The power top well (3)
- The power top pivot bracket (4)
- The latch system (5)
- The power top switch
- The window regulator modules
The power top motor is part of the motor/hydraulic pump assembly and cannot be serviced separately. If the motor is inoperative the complete assembly must be replaced, Removal.
