ACTUATOR TEST

The

Actuator Test

is used to check the operation of many of the computer-con-

trolled relays and solenoids. This is also helpful for checking voltages and output
signals. Use a voltmeter to check the output signals at each relay and solenoid
to verify their operation. To do this, take voltage readings at relays and solenoids
before beginning this test. Then activate the test to energize the relays and sole-
noids. Check voltages again to determine if they are functioning properly.
Remember to write down readings for reference.

Not all vehicles have the same actuators. The tool will not allow the test
of actuators not present on the vehicle.

Some Actuator Tests may activate the fuel pump. Do not
disconnect any fuel lines or remove fuel injectors unless
it is required by the vehicle service manual. Be sure to
reconnect all lines when testing is complete.

Gasoline leaking onto hot engine and exhaust parts can
cause fire or other hazardous conditions.
