Diagnosis
The monitoring of signals by the convertible- top control module enables the system to perform reliable, precise diagnosis. Further, certain additional functions, such as e.g. test of drive links and of input signals can be activated using the Porsche System Tester 2 and their function checked.

The fault memory can be read out and erased with the Porsche System Tester 2. The diagnostic socket is located below the knee guard on the driver s side.






General information

Convertible-top control

Each single step of the opening/closing process is only executed on condition that the preceding step was performed correctly.

If a single step is not confirmed within a given time, the actuation of the drive motor is interrupted.

At the beginning of a process, the limit switch or potentiometer values have a particular configuration, which is examined by the control module.

The control module monitors itself and the connected components. The results are read out via the diagnostic interface.
