WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki XL-7 and 2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove air flow control actuator referring to Removal  .
  2. Check resistance between terminals.

    Air flow control actuator resistance 

    1. Terminal "d" and "e" (DEF position): Approx. 250 - 350 ohms
    2. Terminal "c" and "d" (DEF position): Approx. 2.6 k ohm
    3. Terminal "d" and "e" (VENT position): Approx. 2.6 k ohm
    4. Terminal "c" and "d" (VENT position): Approx. 250 - 350 k ohm
  3. Connect battery positive (+) terminal to terminal "b" and battery negative (-) terminal to terminal "a". Check if position of air flow control actuator changes VENT to DEF.
  4. Connect battery positive (+) terminal to terminal "a" and battery positive (-) terminal to terminal "b". Check if position of air flow control actuator changes DEF to VENT.

    If malfunction is found, replace air flow control actuator with new one.
