GENERAL DESCRIPTION

M1421000100024

The electric convertible top can be opened/closed by
means of electric power. For safety, the convertible
top control module disables opening and closing of

the convertible top in response to signals from the
vehicle speed sensor when the vehicle speed
exceeds 3km/h (1.9 mph).

CONVERTIBLE TOP DIAGNOSIS

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRIC CONVERTIBLE TOP DIAGNOSIS

M1426203900028

The electric convertible top is controlled by the
convertible top control module. When the convertible
top switch is operated at the vehicle speed of less
than 3 km/h (1.9 mph), all the door windows
automatically lower and then all the quarter windows.
After all the door windows and the quarter windows
are fully lowered, the top stack drive motor operates
to open or close the electric convertible top.

Incidentally, the door windows will automatically
lower during the operation of the convertible top
switch even when the lock switch of the power
window main switch is locked.
If the following types of symptom occur, there may be
a fault.

•

The electric convertible top does not open or
close.
