Part 3 Of 3:






CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Control Module will monitor actuator position voltage for correct feedback sequence during an actuator move.

An actuator position fault occurs when the actuator position feedback signal has not achieved and remained at the commanded actuator position within 6 seconds after the actuator has been activated. Actuator position faults result in deactivating the faulted actuators, storing error codes 23,24,25 or 26 and activating the driver select switch L.E.D.s. The system will continue to operate all nonfaulted actuators normally.

Recovery of the faulted actuators will occur after a successful one second self diagnostic test which is repeated every 3 minutes until all faults are cleared.

A mismatch of the commanded feedback signal and the actual feedback signal which occurs after the 6 seconds will not be detected as an error. The actuators will not be repositioned until the CCR system commands a new actuator position as a result of new speed/lateral accelerator switch inputs or a 3 minute retest

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
A fault is detected if the actuator position feedback sequence is incorrect, or if more than 6 seconds is required to complete a move. If actuator position feedback voltage is incorrect, a code is set.

ACTIONS TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
1. Record the actuator position error.
2. Turn on both of the driver select switch L.E.D.s.
3. Disable the faulted actuator.
4. Retest every 3 minutes.

NOTES ON INTERMITTENT
In extremely cold weather conditions (-40°F), due to the decreased viscosity of the strut fluid, the actuator may not reach position within 6 seconds and set a code. Also refer to Intermittent and Poor Connections.
