ASCD Motor Actuator Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Frontier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the ASCD activates, power is supplied

from terminal 7 of ASCD control unit
to ASCD motor actuator terminal 1, and
from terminal 12 of ASCD control unit
to ASCD motor actuator terminal 6.

Ground is supplied

from ASCD control unit terminals 1, 13, and 14
to terminals 3, 5, and 2 of ASCD motor actuator.

Power to the actuator motor is supplied constantly from the ASCD control unit. The ASCD control unit then switches the actuator motor ground signals ON and OFF to control actuator motor operation and vehicle speed.
