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.
Actuator Operation
Actuator consists of a motor, safety magnet clutch, control arm and position sensor. When actuator receives a signal from CC ECU, it engages safety magnetic clutch and activates motor. Motor causes control arm to move, opening or closing engine throttle valve.
When motor rotates forward, control arm also rotates via safety magnetic clutch, gears and drive shaft. Control arm pulls a cable connected to engine throttle valve and opens the valve accordingly. When motor rotates in a reverse direction, control arm also rotates in a reverse direction and engine throttle valve closes.
