Checking an actuator
Requirements:
•
digital multimeter with resistance measurement
•
Switch the electronics OFF on the remote.
•
Remove the rear cover, as described in chapter 8.1.1.
•
Take exact note of the positions of all cables and the sockets that they are connected to. Mark
the connectors and sockets or take a photograph with a digital camera.
Disconnect the motor plug (1) of the motor to be tested from the actuator module.
•
Check the electrical resistance at the
plug (1) of the actuator.
The plug can have a different shape than
show in the illustration.
•
If the resistance is close to infinity, the motor
is probably burnt out.
•
If the resistance is below 1
Ω
, the motor has
a short-circuit.
•
The motor must be replaced in both cases.
