Air Flow Control Actuator Inspection

Air Flow Control Actuator Inspection

1. Set arm to actuator and check if arm operates smoothly when battery voltage is conducted to terminals of actuator connector (1).

3. Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between "4" terminal and "5" terminal of actuator connector.

Air flow control actuator resistance (Total resistance): 6 kOhms






If check result is not as specified, replace air flow control actuator.
