3.5 Active Test
During an active test, a diagnostic tester is used for outputting commands to
the ECU in order to drive the actuators. This test determines the integrity of
the system or parts by monitoring the operation of the actuators or by
reading the engine ECU data.
Performing the Active Tests using the hand-held tester allows the relay, VSV,
actuator and etc to operate without parts removal. Performing the Active
Tests as the first step of troubleshooting is one method to shorten labour
time.
NOTE: Active Test is also known as “Actuator Test”, “Actuation
Activation”, and etc.
