Component Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Static Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the CMP actuator solenoid harness connector at the CMP actuator solenoid.
- Test for 4.6-7.5 ohms between the high control terminal 1 and the low reference terminal 2 of the CMP actuator solenoid.
- If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the CMP actuator solenoid.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure component is tested at 20°C (68°F).
Dynamic Test
- Install fused jumper wire between the high control terminal 1 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between the low reference terminal 2 and momentarily connect to ground.
- Point the CMP actuator solenoid towards a shop towel. Observe the operation of the solenoid immediately extends.
- If the function does not perform as specified, replace the CMP actuator solenoid.
IMPORTANT:
Do not allow the solenoid to be energized for more than 2 seconds.
