Diagnosis - Complaint Related Diagnostic Chart

WARNING: Risk of Personal Injury!

MOVING COMPONENTS

When working on components which are moved by hand, by electric motor, by hydraulic or pneumatic means via a connecting mechanism, severe injury may be sustained as a result of severing, trapping or crushing of limbs.
During work in the area of the roll bar, there is a risk of serious injury should the roll bar suddenly deploy.

Extend the rollbar before working in the rollbar area. Keep parts of your body away from the range of travel of roll bar mechanism.

Refer to Hydraulic Test Program, 33/4; for additional important safety warnings and precautions.

Reveiw entire complaint related diagnostic chart; more than complaint/problem (column 1) may apply. Take into consideration all possible test steps/remedies (column 4).

Complaint/Problem Possible cause Note Test step/Remedy 1)
No communication between the Hand-Held Tester (HHT) and the roll (RB)control module (power soft top) (N52) possible.
Voltage supply, CAN data bus, HHT interface (K-line at electronic ignition switch control module [N73])   23 1

Acoustic warning signal of roof control unit control module (N70) when vehicle is driven and the power soft top switch (S84) is not operated. The soft top is not locked properly. The output duration of the warning signal is approx. 10 seconds.
Reset condition for a renewed output of a warning signal:
Ignition OFF/ON
or
Change of a limit switch status
Lock soft top
No acoustic warning signal of overhead control panel control module (N70). CAN data bus, roll (RB)control module (power soft top)(N52), soft top operation locking gong (N70h1).
  Check HHT actuation of N70h1

Fault in soft top system
(flashing frequency = 1 Hz).



The trunk luggage cover must be pulled out each time before the soft top is operated.
Unlock soft top.


Pull out trunk luggage cover.
23 8


Close trunk lid.


Read out pneumatic system equipment (PSE) diagnostic trouble code (DTC) memory.
Indicator lamp in power soft top switch (S84) permanently illuminated with the vehicle stationary, and S84 is not operated.

WARNING!
