Circuit/System Description
When the ignition is in the ON position, battery voltage from the auxiliary relay is applied through the 15-amp FOLDING TOP/TRUNK LATCH fuse and the control circuit to the folding top control (FTC) module. The FTC module monitors this circuit at least once every 300 milliseconds to determine if voltage is supplied to the following folding top switches:
| • | Front latched switch |
| • | Front unlatched switch |
| • | Compartment partition switch |
| • | Rear compartment lid open switch or deck lid open switch |
| • | Folding top closed switch |
| • | Rear compartment lid pulldown actuator |
Conditions for Running the DTC
The battery voltage is between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The FTC module detects the control circuit voltage dropped below 3 volts. |
| • | The power mode is either in Accessory, RUN, Rap or Crank. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | Stores a current and history DTC B1420 in the FTC module. |
| • | The folding top operation is suspended. |
| • | 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. |
Diagnostic Aids
The Rear Compartment Lid is also referenced as the Deck Lid for this vehicle.

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the FTC module.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuit terminal D11 and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the FTC module.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
