5.2.5 Active Tests

Active Tests, also known as Actuator Tests, are bi-directional diagnostic tests on vehicle systems and
component. The tests let you to use the scanner temporarily activate or control a vehicle system or
component, and when you exit the test, the system/component returns to normal operation.
Some tests display a command to the operator. For example, if “Press Brake Pedal” displays, the
operator has to press and hold the brake pedal and then continue. The sequence, number and type
of tests are dictated by the control module.
On some systems, the actuator tests cannot be restarted until the ignition key is switched off for some
time. Alternatively, briefly start and run the engine, shut down, turn the ignition to the run position,
then re-initiate the actuator tests.
IMPORTANT
