Operation

Two hydraulic cylinders actuated by oil from an elec-
tric-motor driven hydraulic pump are used for raising
and lowering the top.

Switch 181 for operating the top is supplied from
fuse 12 via 29-pole white connector 152A and
10-pole connector 98.

When the top is being lowered, current flows from pin
2 on the switch to relay 278, which is energised. The
relay coil is earthed across switch 43 for the hand-
brake warning lamp, and the handbrake must there-
fore be applied before the top can be operated.

Motor 273 of the hydraulic pump (P) is now supplied
across the relay contacts from battery 1 and fuse 290
(25 A). The motor is earthed through the second relay
(277) which is de-energised.

To raise the top, the direction of rotation of the motor
is reversed, since relay 277 is energised instead, and
relay 278 is de-energised.

Diodes 283 prevent reverse current and operation of
the relays in the wrong circumstances.

For a complete description of the wiring for the light-
ing of switch 181 on cars for the US, CA and JP
markets, see also the section entitled "Lighting for
controls, US, CA, JP”.

Fault-tracing hints

The top can be operated when the ignition switch is in
the drive position and the handbrake is applied.

4. Check fuse 12 and check that the supply to it is
live.

2. Check that the relays for raising and lowering
the top perform correctly and that the diodes are
in good condition.

3. Check that the relays are energised at terminal
87 and that the hydraulic pump motor is ener-
gised when the switch is actuated.

4. Check the connectors, cable harnesses and
earth connections.

Central locking 267

Operation

The central locking system of the car locks or unlocks
all doors and the luggage compartment lid when the
key is turned in the lock of the driver's door.

Terminal 4 of control unit 175 for the central locking
system is continuously supplied from fuse 24, via
29-pole white connector 152A. The control unit is
controlled by key switch 183, which is mounted in the
driver's door.

1987 model

When the driver's door is locked, terminal 1 of the
control unit will be earthed across the key switch to
negative distribution terminal 158.

1988 model

When the driver's door is locked, terminal 1 of the
control unit will be earthed via earthing point 117.

Current will then flow from output 8. All central lock-
ing motors (which are connected in parallel) will now
be energised for approx. 1 second and the doors will
be locked. The motors are earthed through pin 7 of
the control unit, and on from terminal 3 to earthing
point 117.

When the driver's door is unlocked, terminal 2 of the
control unit will instead be earthed across the key
switch, The motors will now be energised from pin 7
instead, and will be earthed across pin 8 of the
control unit (for approx. 1 second), causing the locks
to open.

On right-hand drive cars, the key switch is connected
to connector 57R, and motor 184 for the co-driver’s
door lock is connected to connector 59R.

Fault-tracing hints
1. Check fuse 24 and check that the supply to it is
live.

2. Check that the supply to terminal 4 of control
unit 175 is live.

3. Check that pin 7 of the control unit is live when
the doors are being unlocked and that pin 8 is
live when the doors are being locked.

Note that terminals 7 and 8 are only energised
for around one second in conjunction with lock-
ing and unlocking. Measurement at these termi-
nals must therefore be carried out when key
switch 183 is switching over.

4. Check the connectors, cable harnesses and
earth connections.

Note:

On testing, the actuating motors may be connected
to terminals 7 and 8 of the control unit only. Do not
connect them to any other power supply sources.
Doing so may overload the motors and damage them.
