The excs is operated by the signal supplied from the ecm. The open/close operation of the excv is performed by the excva which is controlled by the ecm by changing the current direction of the actuator motor. The position sensor (incorporated in the excva) detects the excva movement by measuring the voltage and then the ecm determines the excv opening angle based on the engine rpm and gear positions. Every time the ignition switch is turned on, the excva automatically drives the excv and detects full close/open position voltages and sets the excv to middle position.

Voltage check
If voltage is supplied to the circuit being checked, voltage
check can be used as circuit check.
With all connectors/couplers connected and voltage
applied to the circuit being checked, measure
voltage between each terminal and body ground.

Rear brake pad inspection
The extent of brake pads wear can be checked by observing the grooved limit
line “a” on the pads. When the wear exceeds the grooved limit line, replace the
pads with new ones. Refer to “rear brake pad replacement” .
Caution
replace the brake pad as a set, otherwise
braking performa ...
