Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
System Function Test
Actuator on turbocharged models cannot be checked using ACC Tester (49 9200 010). SeeFig 1 . Turbocharged models can be tested with an ohmmeter only. When checking actuator on models with automatic transmission, the checker must be modified by cutting lead wire at terminal No. 6 on ACC checker connector. SeeFig 2 . The main switch, actuator-VAC, actuator-VENT 2, actuator-VENT 1, clutch/brake switch, combination/inhibitor switch (automatic transaxle models), and generator are verified by check lights on tester.
