Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Actuators are electrical devices that respond to signals sent by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to perform a specific task in the vehicle. They are responsible for converting the electrical signal from the PCM into mechanical or physical motion. Typical examples of actuators in a vehicle include fuel injectors, throttle actuators, and solenoids for controlling transmission shifts or engaging the air conditioning compressor. Actuators work in conjunction with sensors to help the PCM monitor and adjust various systems in the vehicle.
