CIRCUIT OPERATION
When the convertible top switch is operated, a signal 
is sent to the convertible top control module. The 
convertible top control module sends convertible top 
switch "ON" signal to the power window main switch 
to lower the door windows automatically. The power 
window main switch lowers the door windows and 
simultaneously sends the "AUTO DOWN" signal to 
the convertible top control module. When the "AUTO 

DOWN"   signal is received, the convertible top 
control module drives the quarter window regulator 
motor to lower the quarter windows and 
simultaneously drives the topstack drive motor 
assembly to operate the electric convertible top.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The cause may be a malfunction of the vehicle 
speed sensor.

STEP 1. Check harness wires between ignition switch (IG1) 
and vehicle speed sensor connector B-39.

NOTE: After inspecting intermediate connector B-36<M/T>, C-
28,C-78, C-101,C-104 inspect the wire. If intermediate 
connector B-36 <M/T>, C-28,C-78, C-101,C-104 are damaged, 
repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E
