I have all of the information, I also have Tech2Win working, I have tried to get the top to re-learn but it will not, everything proceeds through the learning operation but neither system will ignore the current status. There are no DTC's all power and comms issues appear to have been resolved...

That was the only way to get any movement at all from the system, rotating it, but keeping it so that it would be adjusted by the action of the tonneau opening. The top will not operate at all if one of the pots is between open and closed counts. Hoping that by running it through a complete...

Removed the bolt and twisted it until it was showing Open, not Middle. Secured with zip-tie. Neither calibration/learn or operation will start with any of the pots showing "middle". - I assume this is wrong and that calibration should ignore the settings and set new ones - but it does not - at...

Update on this, I manually adjusted the pot/sensor for the rear tonneau which put everything in calibration when closed. This enabled the top to start the sequence in learn mode, but it stopped and the FTM lost all communications at the point of retracting. Went back into the trunk and found an...

So after extensive testing, and getting no response from either the top or the trunk I finally gave in and said to order a new FTM. This took a long while to order and arrive and here we are 4 months later with it installed. The trunk now works, my re-built from parts pump works, but the top...

TSB attached re stabilitrak message

ACDelco site back up. Tech2Win according to it's manual - needs a PDU API enabled J2534 box ie DoIP. So software from the 90's needs the latest diagnostic tech to work. Bangs head against virtual wall and gets out credit card.. grrr... Yes I could buy a VX nano wotsit but I'll unlikely see...

No still on the top as I needed to get a used pump and re-build the one that was in there. I did the mod for the Stabilitrack TSB. The car went into a limbo state between acc and ign, whilst working on the top, the whole CAN bus was down. I split at the ESP plug and the issue is on the ECU...

Hmm yea, tried that. Then looked at it in a spreadsheet, series and parallel, both legs. Still could not make it work. But I may be being thick so very open to suggestions. Front Tonneau Pot res 14.4K Closed = 7.7k = 132 counts need 123 Open = 5.8k = 163 counts need 159 so thats OK I can get...

With the alternative of an expensive trip to TH and back in agreement with the client I bought a SAAB 9-3 pump and re-built the XLR one from that as they are very similar. Works great. Now that all works I come to find that my Autel does everything the Tech2 does... except a top re-learn. I...

Pump out, motor is locked solid. Remove motor from pump. Clean up oil.... Motor is new, motor off pump works fine. Pretty sure pump has been re-assembled wrong, can see the bearing is not in square for a start, trying to find an exploded view or a pic of how it goes together.

Just a quick update on this, I got the job and have been focused on getting the trunk to open and the top to run. The Mitchell data I mentioned above is brilliant for the top and electrics. Not looked at anything else on there but for the money I'd say you can't go wrong really. Took a while to...

Thanks for the welcome Gord. The FTM is not on the HS CAN network so it may well be the issue for the folding top but it would not be the issue with the intermittent CAN network shutdown. I may need to borrow a Tech 2 for a top re-learn or the Autel might do it. So far I have full access to all...

I have been taking a good look at the long list of codes set by the network shutdown and I have two questions. First, is this topology correct as it differs from the one in the XLR systems book ? I see the BCM is the Gateway and also has a terminating resistor, I read elsewhere that the 2nd...

As per my intro post I expect to shortly (subject to customer approval) be diagnosing and hopefully fixing, one of the only 3 XLR's in the country. She's in lovely condition, low mileage, 04 model, but with the frequently mentioned issues of boot err.. trunk not opening, roof not working and...
