Storage Compartment Cover Lock Motor
The storage compartment cover lock motor is located on the drive shaft tunnel under the
rear seat. It consists of the motor with hall sensor, gear linkage assembly and two bowden
cables. Two locks are located on the right and left sides for locking the storage compart-
ment cover. The lock motor hall sensor detects the locked/unlocked position of the storage
cover.
During the soft top operation, when the tension bow is raised or when the top is in the stor-
age compartment, the CVM signals the GM, over the K-Bus, to unlock the storage com-
partment cover. The GM activates the lock motor and the motor turns 180 degrees to
unlock the cover latches. The motor always turns in the same direction to unlock/lock the
cover.
Once the motor has turned 180 degrees, the hall sensor input signal will cause the GM to
switch off the motor. At the same time, the GM will signal the CVM to continue top opera-
tion.
