IMPORTANT:
Do not allow electrical current to flow through the CMP actuator solenoid for more than 1-2 seconds, or damage to the solenoid may occur.
Point the CMP actuator solenoid vertically, towards a shop towel. Connect one end of a fused jumper wire to the CMP actuator solenoid control circuit terminal 2 and 12 volts. Connect a second jumper wire to the low reference circuit terminal 1 and momentarily connect to ground. The CMP actuator solenoid should immediately extend.
- If the CMP actuator solenoid pintle does not extend, then replace the CMP actuator solenoid. Refer to Camshaft Position Actuator Magnet Replacement .
