Leakage/Voltage Test
NOTE: The solenoid activates both RAVE valves
at the same time.
Unplug the RAVE solenoid supply hose from air
compressor.
1. Air compressor
2. Disconnect RAVE supply hose
Install leak test pump (P/N 529 021 800) on hose end
and pressurize air line to 69 - 103 kPa (10 - 15 PSI).
Wait some time to see if pressure drops. If so,
check line for leaks. Otherwise, the solenoid is de-
fective and needs to be replaced.
Using the vehicle communication kit (VCK) with
the B.U.D.S. software, energize the RAVE sole-
noid from the Activation section.
The pressure should drop when the solenoid is ac-
tivated. If the solenoid does not work, disconnect
the plug connector from the solenoid.
Install a temporary connector to the solenoid with
wires long enough to make the connection out-
side the bilge and apply voltage (12 V) to this test
harness.
If it does not work, replace the solenoid. Other-
wise, proceed with the resistance test below.
Reconnect hose to compressor.

Unplug the outlet hose from RAVE solenoid.
1. RAVE solenoid
2. Supply hose from air compressor
3. Check valve
4. Outlet hose to RAVE valves
Install leak test pump on hose end and apply pres-
sure. If pressure can not be held, check hoses for
leaks. If hoses test good, connect pump directly
to each RAVE valve nipple and pressurize. If pres-
sure drops, replace the defective seal inside RAVE
valve.
Take into account that the RAVE may be mechan-
ically stuck in the cylinder slot. Open the RAVE and
check for free operation. Refer to ENGINE and
look in Top End.
Pressure Relief Circuit
When RAVE valve is released, the pressure es-
cape from this vented hose. If the RAVE valves
does not return when the solenoid is released, en-
sure the return spring is in good condition, this
hose is not kinked or plugged and the solenoid al-
lows pressure to bleed there.
Although it is not related with RAVE operation, we
suggest to verify the check valve operation which
prevent the pressure going down to crankcase. In-
stall a hose pincher after the T-fitting to adequately
pressurize the check valve portion.
