GD7 Component Check Actuate to Soft Position



^ Use a 12 volt power supply and connect negative lead to actuator Pin 4 and positive lead to Pin 3 for 1 to 2 seconds. This procedure should drive the actuator to the SOFT position. After this has been done remove power supply leads.

^ Using an analog ohmmeter (20,000 ohms per volt is recommended) measure resistance across actuator Pin 1 and Pin 2.

^ Ohmmeter reading is:

10,000 ohms or greater -- Power supply circuits (Pins 3 and 4) are reversed. REPLACE right rear actuator. REPEAT Service Bay Diagnostics. Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes

5 ohms or less -- GO to GD8.
