Diagnostic Test

TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
NOTE: The PTCM will only set this fault code when the top operation times out. Maximum timeout is 30 seconds.

NOTE: If this DTC is active, and the Motor/Pump is operating with limited or no Power Top movement, the most likely cause is a malfunctioning Motor/Pump or Power Top cables.
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, record and erase all PTCM DTCs.
3. Try to operate the Power Top Switch in the open direction for a minimum of 30 seconds.
4. Try to operate the Power Top Switch in the closed direction for a minimum of 30 seconds.
5. With the scan tool, read all PTCM DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 2
  No
  - The condition that caused this symptom is currently not present. With the scan tool, check the Environmental Data to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also, inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals. Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Decklid Position Sensor connector.
3. Connect a jumper wire between the (Q975) Decklid Position Sensor Signal circuit and the (Q969) Decklid Position Sensor Return circuit in the Decklid Position Sensor harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on and wait 30 seconds.
5. With the scan tool read all active PTCM DTCs
  Does the scan tool display: B255E-DECKLID OPEN POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Decklid Position Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 3
(Q975) DECKLID POSITION SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the PTCM C1 harness connector.
3. Disconnect the Decklid Position Sensor harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. Measure the voltage of the (Q975) Decklid Position Signal circuit in the Decklid Position Sensor harness connector.
  Is there any voltage present?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (Q975) Decklid Position Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 4
(Q975) DECKLID POSITION SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Measure the resistance of the (Q975) Decklid Position Signal circuit between the PTCM C1 harness connector and the Decklid Position Sensor harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (Q975) Decklid Position Signal circuit for an open.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 5
(Q969) DECKLID POSITION RETURN CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Measure the voltage of the (Q969) Decklid Position Return circuit in the Decklid Position Sensor harness connector.
  Is there any voltage present?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (Q969) Decklid Position Return circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go To 6
(Q969) DECKLID POSITION RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Measure the resistance of the (Q969) Decklid Position Return circuit between the PTCM C1 harness connector and the Decklid Position Sensor harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Power Top Control Module (PTCM) in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Repair the (Q969) Decklid Position Return circuit for an open.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
