Microswitch
| Microswitch |
There are seven microswitches in the soft top system that have the following functions:
| • |
Two microswitches in the windscreen frame detect whether or not the soft top is mechanically locked to the windscreen frame.
|
|
| • |
One microswitch by the left-hand fifth bow latch detects whether or not the fifth bow is locked to the soft top cover.
|
|
| • |
Two microswitches in the soft top cover latches detect whether or not the soft top cover is locked to the body.
|
|
| • |
Two microswitches on the soft top storage detect whether or not it is in its bottom position.

Microswitch pins 1 and 3 are connected to common power outputs on the control module. The control module puts out one voltage on pin 1 and another on pin 3. When the microswitch is operated (activated), the contact arm on the switch makes contact with pin 3 and when the microswitch is not operated (inactive), it makes contact with pin 1.
The microswitches are each connected to an input to the control module via pin 2. By measuring the voltage on pin 2, the control module can determine whether or not the microswitch has been operated.
If the position of the microswitch does not correspond to the position detected by the potentiometer, the TSAS control module sends a message to SID, which sounds an acoustic signal and displays an error message.
