Tried to open my hard top convertible 2007 Pontiac G6 GT, there was a message that says Top Not Allowed.

Are the buttons for the convertible top located on the steering column ? If not ,probably not related . The thing you should do is take it to a qualified repair shop , one that has a professional scan tool that read DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes stored in the convertible top control module (computer) . Same thing for the cruise control . All these systems are computer controlled . Your not going to find answers here , only by having a qualified service technician checking it .

System Description
The folding top system consists of the FTC module, the hydraulic system including pump, motor, valves, hydraulic lines and cylinders, folding top mechanics that include the top, the decklid and roof latching mechanisms, position sensing limit switches and Hall effect sensors.

System Operation
Before any movement of the top is allowed, the folding top control (FTC) must be aware of the following conditions:
• The ignition must be in RUN.
• The transmission must be in PARK.
• The pump motor temperature and the outside temperature must be within operating range.
• The decklid, also referred to as a rear compartment lid or a trunk, must be closed.
• The cargo cover, also referred to as a luggage barrier or partition panel, must be installed, prior to opening top.
Folding Top Open/Close Control Switch
The Folding Top Open/Close Switch inputs the users request to the FTC module to move the top to the open or closed position. The switch when activated, will have a 1.5 second delay before top operation is started.

Hall Effect Sensors
Hall effect sensors that are attached to hydraulic cylinders will input to the FTC module as the cylinders become extended.
The Folding Top Header Latch Cylinder Sensor (S1) will become active when the hydraulic cylinder becomes extended, latching the top panel either at the windshield header or in the stowed position.
The Rear Compartment Cylinder Extended Sensor (S2) will become active as the hydraulic cylinder becomes extended as the decklid has fully reached the unconventional, reverse open position.
Limit Switches
The Rear Compartment Lid Release Switch (S3 and S4) has two limit switches that input to the FTC module on the position of the latch arms as retracted and unlatched (S3) or extended and latched (S4) to the rear compartment lid.
The Rear Compartment Lid Release Switch-Front Hinge-Left (S11 and S12) and Rear Compartment Lid Release Switch-Front Hinge-Right (S9 and S10), input the status of the front hinges of the decklid to the FTC module when they are latched and unlatched.
The Folding Top Front Location Pin Position Switch (S13) will become an active input to the FTC module when the top is stowed into the rear compartment.
The Folding Top Front Latch Actuator Position Switch (S14) will become an active input to the FTC module when the mechanism for the top panel header latch has become latched in the over center position.
The Folding Top Front Location Pin Guide-Left (S17 and S18) inputs the status of the top panel at the windshield header. The dowel (S17) limit switch becomes active as the top panel comes into contact with the windshield header. The latched (S18) limit switch becomes active as the top panel has become latched.
The Rear Compartment Lid Release Switch-Left (S19A) and Rear Compartment Lid Release Switch-Right (S19B) will become active inputs to the FTC module as the front LH/RH portion of the decklid come down into contact to the hinges.
The Rear Compartment Partition Position Switch (S20), referred to as the cargo cover or as the luggage barrier limit switch, will become an active input to the FTC module as the panel is installed. The panel only needs to be installed when an open request is made

Pump Motor Temperature Operation
The FTC module will inhibit top operation if the outside temperature is too cold or if the calculated temperature is too hot. The top will not operate when the outside temperature is at -10 degrees C (14 degrees F) or colder. This outside temperature is sent from another module via GMLAN communications.
The FTC module will calculate the top motor over temperature based on the amount of top operations compared to how often they are performed. Going from open to closed or closed to open is considered one cycle. Approximately 5 cycles in a row will inhibit top operation.
Once an alarm temperature has been reached the FTC module shall allow one closing sequence. Open requests shall be inhibited until the temperature becomes acceptable.
Power Window Functions During Folding Top Operation
The FTC module will send a signal to the front window motors during folding top operation. The windows will open at the beginning of the folding top operation. The windows will return to their original position upon completion of the requested folding top movement.
Driver Notification
• CHECK CARGO TOP
• TOP INOP-TRUNK
• TOP MOVE COMPLT
• TOP NOT ALLOWED
• TOP NOT SECURED
• TOP OVER TEMP
• TOP TOO COLD

HEY GUYS MY 97 328I CONVERTIBLE WONT OPEN OR CLOSE THE TOP, AS RIGHT NOW IT IS IN CLOSE POSSITION BUT THE LIGHT KEEP ON BLINKING, i DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANY MORE COULD ANY BODY HELP ME?

Turn on the radio so the battery is engaged, or turn on the engine.

  • 2 Fold down the cargo partition in the trunk and lock it on both sides. If the cargo partition is not down, there will be no place in the trunk to store the convertible top.
  • 3 Press the convertible button forward to open the top. It's located under the circular control button on the consul. The button has a picture of a window with one arrow pointing up and another pointing down.
  • 4 Pull the convertible button backward to close the top.
  • 5 Use your key to open or close the top when you are outside of the BMW but still close to it. Press and hold the arrow button on top of your key to open the top. To close the top, press and hold the Lock button. The car does not need to be turned on to operate the top with the key.

    I just bought a 2007 Pontiac G6 GT hardtop convertible. For the first few days, the top would go up and down but sometimes it would stop halfway and I'd have to shut it and then open it again and it...

    unfortually the dealer may be your only option. these tops are very difficult to check out and repair. when this messgae comes up, it will require a GM tech 2 scan tool to isolate the problem, this top has several latches and several micro switches. any one of the latches or micro switches can cause this message. the scan tool can monitor the latch and switches operations to isolate which one is at fault. in most cases it is one of the front three that causes the problem

    How do I put the convertible top down ?

    If you reach behind the headrest on the driver's side, you should feel a handle. Pull that handle to release pins from the rear deck lid. Then there is a small yellow button under the deck lid or you can use the slide switch located on either door to release the deck lid. Next you must unlatch the front by pulling on the handles located above each of the visors. Then, with the deck lid open, fold the top down into the cargo area and close the deck lid.
    Hope this helps.

    2007 Mini Cooper Convertible top doesn't open all the way when I push the button.

    The top down function is a two step process...1- hold button until sunroof is all the way open then release button. 2- Press and hold button again until top goes all the way down.

    If you try this and it still doesn't work , note the light on the button. If it's flashing it indicates a fault... most likely an obstruction. Check that latches on rear cargo shelf are firmly latched. Check that parcel shelf is firmly down. (open and firmly close all three of these things and try again)


    cheers

    Rear access door ajar

    What's your question ? Tailgate ajar light lit on the instrument cluster ?
    The Body Control Module (BCM) monitors the lift glass and the cargo door ajar switches. When the switch closes, the path to ground is completed, and the BCM sends a class 2 message to the instrument cluster to display the CARGO DOOR AJAR message.There are two ajar switches for the rear door ,a left an a right ,the third switch is for the lift glass ajar switch . All three of these switches splice pack SP410 At ground point G410

    (Shouldn't have any readings when door(s) and/or window closed.) It's the opposite . switches are open with door closed , G410
    In the Body Harness, Behind the RR quarter trim panel near the D-Pillar
    It turns out it has nothing to do with rear door. Something about drivers door actuator. NO IT DOESN"T !!!!

    Top will not close clk 430 mercedes benz

    did you recently have a dead battery? Either way try to resynchronize your windows (i'm not sure if you meant front window or rear quarter window). If you hold the window switch in the up position(car running and door closed) untill window reaches the top and continue to hold for 10 seconds the window will reprogram itself. try both front windows. This system is complicated and is best diagnosed via s.d.s. diagnostic machine. I will give you a couple of other possible easy remedies. If your vehicle is equiped with a ski window in the rear trunk panal the door must be shut, also your cargo cover must be shut and plastic lid secured. There are numerous micro switches that input to your soft top control unit-any one could cause the top to be inop. Check to make sure the switch on the cargo cover( retractable cover in trunk) is secured to it's housing, they do periodically fall off. Also if your roll bar ( rear head rests ) has been mechanically deployed You must hold the switch in the up position untill the rams lock back into the roll bar-does the roll bar operate? Always operate top with vehicle running because they are very voltage dependent. Your owners manual will explain how to manually raise top and some simple operation and repair remedies. If you are knowledgable about automotive electrical systems you can disconnect both leads from the battery and touch them together to drain the capacitors and it may reset the module( do not attempt if you are not knowledgable with automotive electricity because there are many things that can go wrong. hopefully I have been helpful.
