A9 CHECK FOR CORRECT GRILLE SHUTTER ACTUATOR OPERATION
Ignition OFF. Disconnect: Grille Shutter Actuator C1651 (if not previously disconnected). Inspect the grille shutter actuator electrical connector and jumper harness. Repair:
corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins) damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins as necessary pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
Reconnect the grille shutter actuator connector, jumper harness and all previously disconnected system connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes | CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new grille shutter actuator. REFER to: Active Grille Shutter Actuator (501-02 Front End Body Panels, Removal and Installation). |
|---|---|
No | The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues. |
A10 CHECK FOR THE CORRECT GRILLE SHUTTER ACTUATOR OPERATION
