Hey guys! I've been busy today testing my wonderful soft top mechanical's and electrics,have tested all the 17 limit switch signals at the controller plug Y,I have found 3 of the pins on plug Y that test closed when they should read open, anyone have list that identifies the corresponding limit switch's to Y plug numbered pins for the test???? my test passed on position #1 but failed Position #2 with 21,24,26 reading closed.
My problem is ST will only unlatch and fold into compartment and rear cover stops in up position,top will not open whatsoever ,code read is 20,hardtop on no fault. my test procedure is this.
The hydraulic pump is switched by a relay mounted on the pump assembly in the trunk.
The top switch works by grounding socket #1 (lower top) or socket #2 (raise top) of the "Y" connector at the top controller. The Y connector is longer than the other two -- those are the "X" and "Z". The three connectors are labeled on their male sides attached to the control module.
If the top switch checks-out, then you might try verifying that all inputs from the various limit switches are working properly. When a switch closes to signal the controller, it does so by completing a circuit from the controller to chassis ground. All of the switches are wired to the Y connector of the soft top controller. You'll need a basic multimeter or other device for measuring continuity between the inputs and ground.
To access, open the storage compartment behind the passenger seat. Remove the plastic cover that protects the soft top controller by loosening three 10mm plastic nuts. Now remove the two 10mm nuts that are securing the controller and lift it off of its mounting studs. Now you should be able to easily separate the Y connector from the controller.
Looking at the connector you will see two rows of sockets numbered sequentially. Nearly all of these are inputs from the switches, though some are not used. You proceed by putting the top in "Position 1" and checking all the switches and then repeating the same for "Position 2". The info below shows which inputs should be open and which should be closed for each position. Have the ignition off while you perform your checks. Note that you only need to check 17 inputs.
Position 1 (Top closed, windows up, roll bar up)
Open: 10, 22, 27, 29, 30, 31
Closed: 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28
Position 2 (Top open but storage compartment cover open, windows and roll bar down)
Open: 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28
Closed: 10, 22, 27, 29, 30, 31
