5. With voltage and vacuum still applied, try to pull the actuator rod out by hand. You should not be able to pull it out. If you can, it is defective.
6. Disconnect ground from the No.3 terminal. The actuator rod should return. If it does not return, and the vent hose and filter are not plugged, the
solenoid valve assembly is defective.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 5, and disconnect ground from the No.1 terminal. The actuator rod should return. If it does not return, and the vent hose
and filter are not plugged, the solenoid valve assembly is defective.
8. If you replace the solenoid valve assembly, be sure to use new O-rings on each solenoid.
9. Disconnect power and ground from the 4P connector. Disconnect the vent hose from the actuator. Connect a vacuum pump to the actuator vent
hose Pont, and apply vacuum. The actuator rod should pull in completely. If not, the vacuum valve is stuck open. Replace the actuator.
