AUDIBLE QUICK CHECK FOR ACTUATORS WITHOUT USING THE PORTABLE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL

Procedure:
1. Remove the 10A-#15 body fuse located in the instrument panel junction block.
2. Using the flat spade male connectors from the Saturn Connector Test Adapter Kit SA9206Z, jump the fuel pump probe hole to the B+ terminal of the body fuse.
3. Ground diagnostic enable. Jumper DLC terminal A to B.
4. Key On, engine Off, move gear selector to position to check desired actuator.

Line Actuator P or N



When the gear selector is moved to the corresponding position, the PCM will pulse width modulate (PWM) the actuator at a set duty cycle for about six seconds. Listen and compare the noise of the suspected bad actuator to that of the other actuators. They should all be similar. If the noise coming from the suspected bad actuator is faint or not present, place the actuator.

NOTE: Prior to replacing any actuator, check all connections at the actuator and connector plate.
