)Actuator Test
't.Disconnect the actuator cable from the actuator rod
and the 4P connector.
Connect battery power to the No 4 terminal and
ground to the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 terminals.
Connect a vacuum pump to the vacuum hose Then
apply vacuum to the actuator.

5. With voltage and vacuum still applied, try to pull the
actuator rod out by hand. You should not be able to
oull it out. ll you can, it is defective
1.
Disconnect ground from the No.3 terminal. The actu-
ator rod should return lf it does not return, but the
vent hose and filter are not plugged, the solenoid
valve assembly is defective.
Repeat steps 2 through 5, and disconnect ground
from the No. 1 terminal. The actuator rod should
return. lI it does not return, but the vent hose and
filter are not plugged. the solenoid valve assembly
is defective.
It you replace the solenoid valve assembly, be sure
to use new O-rings on each solenoid.
Disconnect power and ground from the 4P connector.
Disconnect the vent hose from the actuator. Connect
a vacuum pump to the actuator vent hose port, and
apply vacuum. The actuator rod should pull in com-
pletely. lf not, the vacuum valve is stuck open.
Replace the actuator'

2. Check for resistance between the terminals accord-
ing to the table.
NOTE: Resistance will vary slightly with tempera-
ture; sDecified resistance is at 70"F (20'C).

Testing for a Short with a Sell-Powered
Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect
the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test
light or digital volUohmmeter (DVOM)
(switched to the lowest "OHMS" range) to
the fuse terminal on the load side.
Dlsconnect the batlery.
FUSEBOXRemove the fuse.

Connect the other lead to a known
good ground.
Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient
points about six inches apart while
watching the test light or DVOM.
lf the self-powered test light goes on or
the DVOM displays a low reading or no
reading (zero), there is a short to ground
in the wiring near that Point.

Testing tor a Short with a Short Circuit
Locator (Short Finder)
1 . Remove the blown fuse. Leave the
battery connected.
2. Connect the short finder across the battery
terminals and the load (component) side of
the fuse terminal.
