      2. Check the LOCK to FREE switch.

        Connect lines via a relay as shown in the illustration, then check that the actuator fork moves from the LOCK to FREE position.

        NOTE:
        • Perform this inspection with the actuator removed from the vehicle. If this inspection is performed with the actuator installed to the vehicle, the actuator will be damaged.
        • When inspecting the actuator, operate it with the lines connected via a relay. If the lines are not connected via a relay and battery voltage is directly applied to the actuator, the actuator will be damaged.

        HINT: 

        When performing the operation described above, use the stop LP relay.
