NOTE: All actuators are identical.

If a problem exists, it is possible to retrieve and verify the defined end positions by means of the diagnosis assistant system (DAS) (valuation trip).

After replacement of an actuator motor it is necessary for an adjustment run to be performed using the diagnosis assistant system (DAS), i.e. the end positions flap OPEN and SHUT are defined and retained.
