Actuator DTC Detection Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Durango. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Actuator DTC Detection Test:
- is actuated with a scan tool.
- supplements the continuous diagnostics on the actuator drive system.
- monitors for shorted actuator circuits allowing service to easily diagnose and troubleshoot up to three simultaneous shorts. Shorted actuator circuit faults (XXX Control Circuit High or XXX Control Circuit Low) will only display after running the Actuator DTC Detection Test.
After repairing each DTC, cycle the ignition switch, and then rerun the Actuator DTC Detection test to ensure that no new DTCs exist. If multiple DTCs are present, beginning with the common circuits, diagnose and repair all short high faults and then short low faults. When the test returns passed, proceed with troubleshooting by clearing faults and running the Actuator Calibration function as a final check of proper system operation.
