Also the function of the actuator can be tested with a OBDII scanner that has test functions.
With my $175.00 Foxwell scanner I can trigger my actuators then not only hear the difference in how the engine runs.
I can also see the cam timing change and by how many degrees.
Very simple tests that verify function.
Thank you, very interesting. I recently purchased a Foxwell scanner, probably at your suggestion. I’ve used it only to clear the CEL. Are you able to see the timing change on the scanner?
