Air Flow Control Actuator Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Reference: AIR FLOW CONTROL ACTUATOR REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

Set arm to actuator and check if arm operates smoothly when battery voltage is conducted to terminals of actuator connector (1).
