#Purpose

The Intake Valve Actuator Solenoid Test can be used to verify the operation of the Intake Valve Actuator Solenoid on one or all Cylinders. These tests provide a method for finding wiring or solenoid problems, and they are performed in the same manner. When either test is completed, the data can be analyzed to determine if all of the Cylinders are running effectively.

#Accessing

To run the Intake Valve Actuator Solenoid Test:

1). Select Diagnostic Tests from the Diagnostics menu.
